Fuckers. I hate that - why list it as a launch title if it's not going to be a launch title. The 2 games I want most are Zelda and MP3.

Same here - GC controllers are fine for almost everything (Not 2D fighters though) as it would be a pain to have to fork out for 7 extra controllers in total.

Regarding the virtual console; Do you know if they are modifying the games in any way shape or form? I love Mario KArt 64s tracks, but I get a headache with the awful refresh rate.
