Suburbia, I definately get your point. I find I do that myself a lot as well. With a digital camera I only focus on taking pictures, with my old camera I focused on only taking good pictures worth taking. And it's the same with ROMs, when I was heavy into that I would play games for one maybe two hours and then move on to the next one, which of course in hindsight was not a good idea. I believe I have not once finished a game that I had as a ROM running with some Emu. I believe the VC has to come down in price a bit, not much, cut a quarter and I'll be happy. On another note I believe you need a credit card to buy the points directly from the Wii Shopping Channel? Not everyone has got one. You can play ROMs on the Wii if you know how.

Some N64 games may fall into this category and some multiplayer games from other systems will too because I don't have 5 USB pads lol (hence why I bought Bomberman 93 though it is sitting in my rom folder as I type). Anyway back to the article, I just bought my points through the shop channel with my debit card. ;) I don’t see why you would buy a game you already own anyway. :P

Sure it may be more of a hassle, but you can literally find a system with an impressive library of games at a garage sale for the price of two N64 games on the v.c.. Nintendo should either drop there prices or make Wii Points earnable one way or another (star system anyone?). I refuse to pay another 10 bucks for a game I've already payed 40 for at some point in my life...
