Lack of a VC Game spurs an email to Nintendo

Today's Nintendo Download update met with absolutely no Virtual Console game at all! This caused me to write an email to Nintendo expressing myself about the situation. It's very strange to see this happen, plus, last week we got 2 VC games last week which were both Import titles so maybe Secret Command was actually supposed to come out this week but even still, why refuse to add a game at all? There must be a reason! They better make it up to us. Even if EU is used to this kind of treatment, over here in NA, this is very rare. Here's what I sent to them:


"I was really disappointed to not see a Virtual Console game appear at all in the update. Was there a particular reason why there was no VC game included? It's very frustrating since there are many games we're waiting for like Super Smash Bros. 64 that have been confirmed and instead of releasing one of these games, there's no game at all. I was very shocked to see this. Many love the Virtual Console service but lately, support has been waning a bit considering that there have been some shoddy games released and having only one VC Game per update (as opposed to the days when there were 2 or even 4 per update!) is very silly and it makes the updates that much harder to deal with as many await the games they're so desperately waiting for. Anyway, I just thought I'd express myself about this because having one VC game per update is a big issue right now for many but having no VC game at all today is simply unacceptable."
