I was thinking of picking up a classic top loading second gen NES off of EBAY, and wanted to know what you guys think of the VC. I had a Wii, gave it to my nephews though because I got bored with it. My girl wants one now for the Wii Fit so it looks like I will be buying another Wii soon. So, what do you guys think, a book shelf full of retro games and the ol' NES versus everything nice and neat on the Wii Virtual Console?

If you are sharing the Wii stuff with everybody then get the games off the virtual console. If you are going for the old games, get the toaster. It has video and audio outputs, the toploader doesn't. The toploader also has video problems.

The toploader will eventually give you problems, worse is that all games that use batteries for saving data are going to have dead batteries by now.
The wii is eventually going to bring you to bordomland again.
I agree with Syd for regular NES games.

All the NES games I've played recently don't have any save problems.

Do they have save states?
For example: The Legend of Zelda
They will eventually lose their ability to save data. Batteries die. It is how they work.

You can replace the battery if you procure one of those security bits to open the cart... There's lots of how-to's on this subject too...

Some of my carts have shit rattling around in them, but they save fine.

My shiny gold Legend of Zelda cart still saves just fine.
Oddly enough, the only games I've ever gotten whose save batteries didn't work were Super Nintendo & Sega Genesis games.
