No one is saying that release 3 games of each i realistic, but on the otherhand there is no reason preventing it, with the exception of avoiding "the clog down the line", as you said. Smash Bros was a mere example, and unlike Earthbound, is restricted by nothing. Starfox hasn't been in any region yet, so it's cool. I will not comment on Final Fantasy. Point is, a 1 VC game a week deal is bad enough, or some of us at least. No VC makes no sense to some of us, because we don't think it directly influences the increase or decline of WiiWare sales all of the time. Take this week for example, we got Darklord, poker, and what seems to be shovelware. To the core gamer, would the number of VC games released this week effect the outcome of him or her purchasing the shovelware? Of course not. To the casual who likes WiiWare, will a maybe not that common, yet awesome, VC game affect thier purchasing choice? I don't think it will. All I am saying is that a no VC week seems pretty BS to me. As for Darklord in the above scenario, the core gamer knew it was coming, and has been getting ready for it. If something comes up that they want on VC, I don't think they will lose a sale, but rather eventually gain a sale.
