    Yeah, these NES releases really came out of nowhere. I hadn't heard of any of them before.

    I think the NES Classic comparison stuff kinda soured me on the Wii U VC. Suddenly, I can't help but see every game as very dark.

    Yeah, unfortunately NES and N64 games suffer the most, but I think the SNES is ok. GBA and DS VC have the most work put in.
