Yeah! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35528.html

That's only in Japan, isn't it? I checked the SNES list the other day and didn't see it.

I don't have a lot of VC games, so I hope you don't mind if I include WiiWare titles in my list.

1. Lost Winds
Best platformer on Wii by far and makes better use of the remote than a lot of first-party games.

2. Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
I know I'm in the majority, but I prefer this over the original. It's a really great, quirky and artistic action-platformer. Really good cooperative gameplay as well.

3. Super Metroid
It's a little bit down on my list because I still maintain that Zero Mission is the better game. It just has a lot more polish. Even still, Super Metroid is fantastic. This is where the focus on exploration really peaked in the series, before hint systems and overly-talkative computers were introduced.

4. Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco: The Tides of Time
I'm not sure which is better, so I'll list them together. An incredibly difficult set of games with great visuals and an amazing soundtrack, even on the Genesis versions. Very slow-paced, so you have to set aside a lot of time to play it.

5. Gyrostarr
Great fun with friends, but not very deep or rewarding.

Now, just as a side topic, these are the games I've bought and didn't enjoy at all:

Gunstar Heroes
Too chaotic, and the coop mode is broken by the fact that the same button used to fire your gun is also used to toss your partner. This results in way too many accidental deaths by tossing him/her into a group of enemies or over a cliff.

StarFox 64
I just wasn't impressed. It's too generic, the free-range levels control terribly (and, by extension, so do the multiplayer dogfights) and everything looks very muddy, even for an N64 game.

on the VC i'm not buying any games i already own.

1.super metroid
2.Double Dragon
3.River City Ransom
4.Super Castlevania IV
5.Street Fighter II Turbo

Same here. The only exception I've made so far was for Shining Force (in retrospect, not a good purchase), but I'll likely make another for Jurassic Park and JP: Rampage Edition (if they're ever released) just so I don't have to lug around and hook up my old Genesis.

but i would get a game i already have on VC on the system it's for. i would just get other games first and then get them later.

Act Raiser
Beyond Oasis
ToeJam and Earl
Legend of Mystical Ninja
Link to the Past

I have not bought a lot of games from the VC, so this is my list so far.

1. Kid Icarus
2. Kirby's Adventure
3. StarFox 64
4. SMB: The Lost Levels
5. n/a

well i only have 5 vc games because i kept all my systems and still buy games for them. so this is a list of games that i haven't got around to buying yet lol.

1. Contra Alien Wars
2. Toe Jam and Earl
3. Splatterhouse
4. Tecmo Bowl
5. Streets of Rage 2

Just a reminder, it seems that he only wants you all to put down VC games and not WiiWare games.

Ah, I forgot that I had bought Contra III.

I guess that makes my list now...

1. Kid Icarus
2. Kirby's Adventure
3. Contra III
4. StarFox 64
5. SMB: The Lost Levels

This thread made me rage: I was so darn happy! Super Mario RPG was being released! OH LOVELY DAAAAYYY!!

Then I get on my Wii and its not there! T_T Sad Penguin...

Super Mario RPG was indeed one of the best games to come out on the SNES. However, I already own the game for my SNES, and thus I have no need to buy it again on the VC.

5 Super Mario 64
4 Super Mario Bros. 1
3 Sonic 3
2 Sonic 2



1 Super Mario Bros. 3

1. Super Mario Bros.
2. Super Mario Bros. 3
3. The Legend of Zelda
4. Super Metroid
5. Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting

you jerk . . . got me all excited and made me boot up my wii for nothing. Mario RPG is only on VC in japan.

1. Super Mario Bros 2. (USA)
2. Ninja Gaiden
3. Super Castlevania IV
4. Punch-Out!!
5. Kid Icarus

By the way, here's a pet peeve I have with the Virtual Console 'Nes' games....The colors arent as colorful/vibrant as their original Nes counterparts....Many people have complained about this. So what you get are darker, less colorful and slightly washed out Colors. I mean WTF Nintendo!? How could they mess this up?...Yet the Snes and N64 VC games look exactly how they were color wise...But of course they're even 'better' if you're using Component cables, and if you're not....Then that's pretty damn sad.
