Don't really want to think of TEN games but Tetrisphere is an absolute must!!

I mean, I have the N64 cart here and all - but I'd rather not have to bring my N64 out all the time!

 

[Xellotah]

The only real games I'd be dying to download and play would be the Phantasy Star Games. Pretty much all the SNES games I want to play I still own the carts to and so I either stick them in my SNES. I'd be more interested in the Genesis and Turbographix stuff.

that reminds me...

add Phantasy star 4 to the list, I had the cart, but never really played it.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Why are people calling this Dracula X? D: It didn't come to the states with this name did it?)

Sort of. A "port" (and I hesitate to call it that because I hear its pretty different from the original) was released for the SNES in the states with that name.

 

[Lee N]

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Why are people calling this Dracula X? D: It didn't come to the states with this name did it?)

Question is, why are you calling it that? The japanese name is Dracula X: Chi no Rondo.

 

[Lo-Volt]

I would stick to the basics. Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Kart, maybe Axelay or something like it, the original StarFox if the frame rate is bumped up. And I second _PsiFire_'s motion for Tetrisphere.

Nonsense. 3rd party games have been confirmed. I expect tons of them, all of the big names + much more.

 

[JavyOO7]

I just want online play for all the multiplayer titles. Keep the dream alive!

 

[ethelred]

My number one hope here is that Nintendo recognizes what a gold mine it would be if they take the opportunity the Virtual Console offers and give gamers the chance to play games that never received ocalizations before. They could translate some of these old games, offer them for sale over the VC at a slightly higher price than normal downloads, and not have to deal with distribution, packaging, or retailer costs.

If they make this reality, my download list would look something like:

1. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
2. Fire Emblem: Geneology of the Holy War
3. Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
4. Fire Emblem
5. Fire Emblem Gaiden

And after that, possibly other stuff that I can't think of.

Standard classics downloads I'll be grabbing:

1. Phantasy Star IV
2. Paper Mario
3. Ogre Battle 64
4. Shining Force II
5. Earthbound
6. Shining in the Darkness
7. Super Mario RPG
8. I'm not sure at this point.

 

[Totz]

All I need is Mischief Makers.

Gimme Mischief Makers, Nintendo.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I want two things really:

1. Games that never released outside of Japan
2. Improved framerates and resolutions where possible

For the first one, it'd be nice if we got new translations of games like Fire Emblem like ethelred said, but if they don't do that then I still want to be able to get the games even in their Japanese only state. Sure, I probably don't want to play Fire Emblem that way, but I do want to play Sin & Punishment any way I can.

I just hope they don't try and restrict things by region (except where licenses and things are a problem). Rather than stopping people buying Japanese only games, they should just have a very clear warning about the text.

 

[Cheebs]

Nonsense. 3rd party games have been confirmed. I expect tons of them, all of the big names + much more.

Where is third party confirmed? The leaked lists for NES-N64 games at ign and the like were just nintendo published games and Genesis and Turbographx annoucements made no mention of third party software.

 

[Grug]

If you went back to 1992 and told everyone that in 14 years you'd be not only be able to play SNES and Genesis games on the same Nintendo console but that you'd download them essentially out of thin air with no wires... you would have been locked up.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Where is third party confirmed? The leaked lists for NES-N64 games at ign and the like were just nintendo published games and Genesis and Turbographx annoucements made no mention of third party software.

I don't know if it's confirmed, but why wouldn't third parties get on board? Do they dislike money that much?

HERZOG ZWEI BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

I don't believe this shit

 

[CurseoftheGods]

God yes. Then I will be able to play Conkers Bad Fur Day without feeling ill.

That's going to be hard. =p

Genesis:

Sonic 3 & Knuckles

SNES:

Super Mario RPG

N64:

Paper Mario
Zelda: Majora's Mask

 

[Baron]

Haha, nice.

I got rid of my copies of those two games years ago. I tried to console myself with playing the Nectaris PSX port, but it just wasn't the same. The freeware Nectaris PC port is very nice, though.

 

[blazinglazers]

:lol

 

[CajoleJuice]

Punchout
Super Punchout
Super Metroid
Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario World
Streets of Rage 2
Blast Corps
Banjo Kazooie
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark

Last two riding on framerate improvements.

 

[Aft Dread Pressure]

All I need is Wario's Woods online.
But that won't happen.

 

[Amir0x]

1. Earthbound
2. Tetris Attack
3. Super Mario Kart (if it has online)

 

[Tiger]

1) Yoshi's Island
2) Super Mario World
3) R.C Pro-Am
4) Virtua Tennis (Dreamcast version with online play!)
5) Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast version with leaderboards and online play!)
6) Powerstone (with online play!)
7) Daytona 2 (arcade version with online play!)
8) Sega Rally 2 (arcade version with online play!)
9) Waverace 64
10)Sin & Punishment (I regret selling my copy)


Of course i'm including both the Revolution and the 360 with my list.

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

Sadly, I didn't have a Genesis or TG-16, so I'm not sure what to get for those systems.

Non Nintendo:
Actraiser
Secret of Mana
Dragon Warrior II, III, IV
Lufia II
Final Fantasy IV, V, VI
Contra III

Hopefully when the Rev/VC comes out there'll be a thread listing the best games for each system so ignorant gamers like me will have an idea of what's good.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

I'm hoping Nintendo can also get SNK on board, would love some Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters, and Final Fight

Contra, Excitebike 64, Goldeneye, Super R-Type, Killer Instinct Gold, Bad Dudes, and Ninja Gaiden.

I wonder if we'll see some ports to GC, because of BC.

 

[dbish]

Gunstar Heroes - Genesis
Alien Soldier - Genesis
Contra Hard Corps - Genesis
Thunderforce 4 - Genesis

Chrono Trigger - SNES
Contra 3 - SNES

Sin and Punishment - N64
Mario 64 - N64
Star Fox 64 - N64

Super Mario Brothers 3 - NES

 

[Grug]

Can't believe I left Super Punch Out and Mario RPG off my list.

 

[robertsan21]

a few questions

1: will everygame be available for download, EVEN the ones that was only released in Japan?
so if I live in europe and want to download a japanese game can I do that, and will it play on a PAL Rev??

2: alot of NES and SNES games had 2 player mode, will they be working online? lets say in Mario Bros, we all know that you can play two players, so what if I am alone and want to play two players, can I hook it up to the net and play against someone ?

4: what File size will a N64 game be, a SNES game and Nes game?

 

[malek4980]

4: what File size will a N64 game be, a SNES game and Nes game?

N64 8 to 32 MB
SNES .5 to 4 MB
NES Few 100 KB?

 

[Mama Smurf]

A couple of N64 games were 64MB (RE2 and Conker I think, not that we need to worry about Conker. Maybe a Pokemon Stadium) and some were 48...ermm...Ogre Battle...Paper Mario...probably it.

 

[Kevtones]

Holy shit I don't even know where to begin:

Sin + Punishment
Blazing Lazerzzzzzz
Earthbound
Splatterhouse
Alien Crush
Super Mario All-Stars (I need to attempt these lost levels!)
Dracula X
Guardian Heroes
Yoshi's Island

So many others its pretty scary.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Mostly games i missed back then.

NES

TMNT 1
TMNT 3
Kid Icarus


SNES

Chrono Trigger
Super Metroid
TMNT IV: Turtles in Time


N64

Jet Force Gemini
Mario Tennis
Goldeneye
Pilotwings 64

 

[Beatbox]

I probably won't buy a Revolution (yes I know this takes away from my statements credibility) but if I do it would definitely be for new games and not for old ish.

UNLESS I can play Goldeneye one shot kills pistols online.

 

[Jefklak]

Hard to make a #10 list but here goes anyway

01) N64 - Ogre Battle 64
02) SNES - Super Metroid
03) SNES - Earthbound and/or Terranigma
04) SNES - Secret of Mana and/or Chrono Trigger
05) SEGA - Toejam & Earl on Panic in Funkotron II
06) SNES - Contra III
07) N64 - Paper Mario
08) SEGA - That classic cult RPG thing wich never hit Europe

And probably also (unsorted)
x) SNES - One of the Kirby variations
x) SNES - Dracula X or some other Castlevania
x) NES - Duck Hunt (with RevMote, lol)
x) SEGA - Some Golden Axe version
x) SEGA - Fatal Fury

Since I already own Sonic Mega Collection, and most Mairo & Zelda remakes on GBA.
I hope to get my hands on Megaman (X) Collection someday so those aren't counted in eighter.

 

[Mike Works]

[radioheadrule83]

Firstly, I would like to note that while I DO have a NES/SNES and N64 still to this day, I actually sold my original systems and games. So *my* Top 10 is all about the games I've yet to recollect. All but the number one spot of course which is where my curiosity lies. I want to see what kind of new content might come out over Virtual Console.


TOP 10 GAMES I CAN'T WAIT TO DOWNLOAD

5. Bubble Bobble 2: Rainbow Islands (NES)
6. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GEN)
7. Super Mario All Stars (SNES) -- * failing this, Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)
8. Super Mario World (SNES)
9. Super Mario World: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
10. Super Metroid (SNES)


To expand further, these are the 10 games each I expect to have in my library for each virtual system:

[DarknessTear]

Question is, why are you calling it that? The japanese name is Dracula X: Chi no Rondo.

So it IS Dracula X then.

 

[Tarazet]

1. Magical Chase
2. Earthbound
3. Bubble Bath Babes
4. Final Fantasy III (VI)
5. Chrono Trigger
6. Syd Mead's Terraforming
7. Nintendo World Championship
8. Dracula X
9. Gradius
10. Super Mario RPG

 

[Lee N]

So it IS Dracula X then.

Yes, The castlevania series is known as Akumajou Dracula in Japan. And the PC Engine one is, indeed, called Dracula X.

 

[Jiggy]

Okay, I'll exclude games I still own on the original system (FFVI, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound), games I own as a port (Mario 3, A Link to the Past, Mario 64), games that I once owned and sold because I didn't care anymore (Kirby's Dreamland 3, Tetris & Dr. Mario), and games that I once owned and sold only because I knew I'd be able to download them back on Revolution anyway (Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG).


In no order:

1) EVO: The Search For Eden (SNES). The game was brilliant, though the concept was really, really out there. (A great summary of why can be found at GameFAQs, of all places, albeit spoiling the story to do so.)

2) Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES). Of all the games that I only played because of the recommendation of a casual-gamer relatives, this is the only one that turned out good--and boy, did it ever turn out good.

3) Super Metroid (SNES). This and Metroid Fusion are the two games in the series that I've never owned. I've played Super Metroid, though, so I know how worthwhile it is.

4) Terranigma (SNES). I liked Illusion of Gaia.

5) Mario Tennis (N64). I didn't find out how brilliant this franchise is until the GBA game.

6) Ogre Battle (SNES). Apparently I'm in the minority considering how this thread has gone, but I vastly preferred this to the N64 sequel; both the battles and the walking speed were faster in the original SNES game.

7) Actraiser (SNES). A friend rented this long ago and I thought it was a great game.

8) Beetle Adventure Racing (N64). I've heard good things about it, and comparisons to Diddy Kong Racing. Considering that I think single-player DKR blows all single-player Mario Kart games out of the water, that's a nice comparison to make.

9) YS, any of them (TG16). I saw screenshots and the screenshots involved cute anime females and an RPG, thus making this a must-buy.

10) I have no idea what the name is (TG16). Basically a vertical-scrolling space shooter that looked fantastic, but the website where I saw a picture of it is currently down, so I don't know the title...

[thetrin]

Oh god, Actraiser, Turtles in Time, Bonk, and Super Bomberman would make my day. Secret of Mana and FF3 would be awesome too, despite the fact I've played way too much of both.

 

[DarknessTear]

Yes, The castlevania series is known as Akumajou Dracula in Japan. And the PC Engine one is, indeed, called Dracula X.

Yeah I already know all that shit, I just wasn't sure because there's so many Dracula X games. Wasn't SotN for the Saturn a Dracula X game too of some sort? So it was a bit confusing. I did play Rondo of Blood though, great game.
