Virtual Is The New Reality

During my blogs I have covered Microsoft's Live Arcade Games (in great detail!), briefly mentioned the PS3's equivalent to Live Arcade (Qbert anyone?) - so it only seems fitting to mention Nintendo's equivalent to Live Arcade (Virtual Console) to nicely finish the triangle of consoles (or should that be Tri-Force?).

The latest game to be announced heading for Nintendo's Virtual Console is "The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time" - which many believe is one of the greatest games of all time.

Anyone spot the difference between the 3 consoles downloadable games?
To be honest it is unfair to compare 1 game against the likes of Root Beer Tapper & Qbert...however on the other hand Zelda joins the likes of Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario World, Sonic The Hedgehog and many other Virtual Console titles so the immediate difference is noticeable.

To be fair to Microsoft and Sony this is mainly due to Nintendo's back catalogue of games which reads like a who's who list of gaming.

In my opinion Nintendo's service wins hands down, however the others do sometimes benefit from the online features.
