However, the introduction of Virtual Console also let me experience some of the older games that I'd never played, in partiuclar the first two Donkey Kong Country games and Super Metroid were ones that it allowed me to play and perhaps paved the way for the reduced physical game collections I have on modern consoles while also having a large digital library.
