Wishful Thinking
WolfAlmighty:
I could just as easily emu all the NES games I have now but instead when I want to play a game I grab the cart off the shelf and play it on the original grey box. So no, it wouldn't really affect me much. What I would like is a (working) 3-in-1 console that would play NES, SNES, and N64 carts flawlessly so I could just have everything routed through one console, but it's not a big deal to me there. As for collecting actual carts, just having them around me is half the fun of it all. Sometimes I'll just sit there and stare at them all, and staring at a USB flash drive with every NES game on it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. :p

I actually sold my Genesis and all the games when Sonic Mega Collection for the GCN came out. I hate 12 year old me now. :(

A lot of it comes down to using the original controller. As much as I like Sonic Generations, it's not the same playing Sonic without that thee button brick Genesis controller.
palmer6strings:
I would still have all my old consoles plugged in for the fact of my buying and selling stuff, and that I love to play all my old games.
Plus if your just wanting to save room there is these things called roms and emulators. (not that I'm suggesting it)

Exactly! But sega could easily make a wireless replica of their controllers for use on the Wii U... Nintendo could also make a lightweight N64 wireless controller. If they could recapture the feeling, I would be sold.
