» They never said it's a bad thing
What it means is they're unsure whether the channel is performing well or not.
Theres not really anything it can be compared against, which in business is really the only way to tell how you're doing. There's the XBLA is the closest, but they're not that similar really.

Come on everyone, punish Nintendo for not developing any new Wii games for you by downloading free Roms!
Just look on google for ROM download sites.
They've made enough money by re-selling old stuff they already made money on!
I'm boycotting Nintendo products and I always play old downloaded Nintendo ROMS on my PSP. It reminds me of when I was young and Nintendo wasn't so greedy and worthless!
Just look how Nintendo treats you, their fans:

» Punish Nintendo?.....Ps3 fanboy!
Hey "Mr sense" ur link dont even work...and how exactly is nintendo worthless? They innovate more than any single game company out there. If it wernt fer them everyone would just play violent wars shooters....i like a shooter like any other guy but weres the difference in gameplay?! Nintendo basically does any and all platformers!

» I disagree
I think Nintendo has the attitude "milk anything for everything you can." They sell it initially, make millions of profit, then years down the road repackage it and sell the same thing again. Sometimes they do it 3 or 4 times. How many GBA games were SNES games or even NES games? How many Wii games are Gamecube games? The Wii is a Gamecube with minor tweaks. The virtual console is Nintendo's response (in typical lazy Nintendo fashion) to XBOX live arcade. Instead of NEW games or seperate emulators for different real arcade games, they just made emulators for different consoles. Then they charge more than the used original games usually cost on cartridges.
Nintendo doesn't innovate anything, they simply repackage and resell everything. They didn't invent the Wiimote technology, it's been around for years. Touch screens have been around for years before the DS as well. Everything else is at least 6 year old technology (if that new) and hardly innovative or impressive.
Nintendo sues sites that let people download their ROMS because they're protected (probably becaue they overcharge for them now) but I have quite a collection already.
It's too bad they don't focus on delivering new quality games and share the old classics like some less greedy software companies do.

» WEll..
Well downloading Roms is "Illegal", it is possible that some people don't want to break the law (I could care less), why not re-sale your stuff? I mean if the public didn't want it, they wouldn't buy it, but the public does want to buy it, so why not sell it. I myself have downloaded some games just for the sheer ease and convience of not having to fish around the internet for a ROM, download the right emulator, hack a PSP, MOD a system, not to mention find a sutible PC/MAC controller (unless you want to use a keyboard).
Nintendo doesn't force you to buy these, I have tons of friends that don't have one single VC game. I would rather pay $5 to just sit down on the couch, download Ninja Gaiden, flip my Wiimote sideways, and fire it up in 5 minutes....
