Virtual Console & WiiWare \ Why Do VC Games Pause When Quitting

I think someone is being very petty... I love the suspend mode. Because I work, and am pretty much always out an about I enjoy making my way though the games in 30minute blocks a day without having to leave the dam SNES/NES/N64 constantly on. The suspend feature is fantastic... If your playing a VC game and you get a Wii Message you're telling me you'd much rather loose the last 4hours of play time just to read the message?

Come off it.. I reakons you just looking for something to get ya ****tles on at. So what, there's a reset option for your ultra hardcore with too much time on your hands people. But us who now have careers, lives, responsibilities should not be allowed to relive our younger years gaming in small blocks of spare time?

BAH!

If you wanna complain about how its cheating and unfair, why dont you go hassel the petrol stations about fuel prices. I used to be able to fill my car on $50 of fuel 7years ago... ($0.66 a L) now im paying $100.5 to fill my tank. There's a mission go sort that one out and stop bitching about something that isnt a problem.

Turning off the Wii doesnt reset the software either, it's retarded. I'm just saying pausing your progress makes it too easy in games like Donkey Kong Country 2 and negates the entire need to collect banana coins to save it. It's like a whole section of the game has been made redundant. Games should be kept as authentic as possible, ie, you HAVE to save it when you turn off your console. No challenge otherwise. The fast that people feel the need to use the feature to give them an advantage makes me lose faith in our youth and thier gameplaying abilities.

How many games make you collect stuff to save a game, roughly 0.001%?

Total non-issue.

Hey, does any know off hand whether Donkey Kong Country actually saves the game when you reset it, or is it purely a resume mode? I've got the game and i haven't tried resetting the game to see whether it uses the original save function of the game...

Just reset the software every time you play, then. Your saved games will still be intact.
