Here's an experiment. We're going to find out the Top 5 Downloaded Games on the Virtual Console so far.

Here's how it works: If you have a Wii, post in this thread the Top 5 Games of your Choice that you either have/or will have downloaded if wanted to download them. So if the game of your choice isn't on the Virtual Console right now, please still pick five choices from the available list.

Example is my list:

1. Super Mario 64
2. F-Zero
3. Bonk's Adventure (surprisingly fun and challenging)
4. Pinball (It's fun, bitches)
5. SimCity (this is what I would get next)

After people post what top five games they have/want from the current list, I'll compile them on this front page and we'll get a general idea of which titles were downloaded the most in the past almostweek.

There is an alternative method to getting another projection: As I understand it, the Wii pages are online, but you have to have the correct userthingy on Firefox to view them. If someone could get numbers viewed of each Virtual Console game on there, we could get projections that way too.

Now your virtual console games, let me show you them!

2- Super Mario 64
3- Bonk's Adventure

Games that I might download:

4- Bomberman 93'

Sorry, but out of the games available none else is of my interest. I love Legend of Zelda, but I already have it on the Zelda Collector's. Of the upcoming titles from Sega I'm interested in Ristar.

 

[PolyGone]

1- Sin and Punishment
2- Mother 3 (N64)
3- Chrono Trigger
4- F-Zero X 64DD version

1. Sonic
2. Super Mario 64
Would download
3. Zelda
4. Bomberman '93
5. Altered Beast

 

[fresquito]

How comes people would download Pinball or Altered Beast and not Solomon's Key?

 

[bobbyconover]

How comes people would download Pinball or Altered Beast and not Solomon's Key?

Good effing question. Solomon's Key is one of the best of ALL NES games, and one of the best action-puzzle games of all time. I'd go so far as to say it's my favorite game on the list.

Anyway:

1. Solomon's Key
2. Bomberman 93
3. Mario 64
4. Sonic the Hedgehog
5. Bonk

 

[Ashodin]

1- Sin and Punishment
2- Mother 3 (N64)
3- Chrono Trigger
4- F-Zero X 64DD version
5- Gunstar Heroes

You fail this thread.

Super Mario 64
Sonic the Hedgehog
F-Zero FX
Bomberman 93

 

[Xristot]

1) Super Mario 64
2) Sonic
3) Bomberman '93
4) donkey kong
5) Sim city

I'm also looking to get zelda, fzero, bonk and solomon's key. I just have to get to a circuit city...but not today.

 

[Azure Dream]

Out of what's currently available, I have/would download: (But I'm not going to spend the points on some of these)

1) Bonk's Adventure (Only one I've purchased so far.)
2) Solomon's Key
3) Bomberman '93
4) F-Zero
5) Wario's Woods


But pickings are very slim. I've already got Zelda on the Collector's disc, similar situation for Sonic 1, never been much of a Sim City fan. The rest are pretty much ancient. (Well, SM64 excluded, but I already bought both the original and DS releases.)

 

[The Main Event]

1) Bonk's Adventure
2) F-Zero
3) Bomberman '93
4) Pinball
5) Super Mario 64

[Ashodin]

The temporary list is up there now. It'll change every time I update with people posting on this thread. Hopefully with this you can see the trends people are downloading Virtual Console games for.

It looks like the TurboGrafx games are very popular at the moment. I would imagine so, since Nintendo fans haven't even owned one. And Bonk's Adventure is REALLY fun!

 

[Gio_CoD]

Here are the games I've downloaded in order of download:

1.) Zelda
2.) Sonic
3.) Bomberman '93
4.) Bonk's Adventure

The next game I'll probably get is Super Mario 64.

 

[DyTonic]

1.Bomberman 93- Multiplayer is great and I only wish it was online
2.Bonk's Adventure--Great platformer
3.Sonic--Ol school Sonic ftw
4.Super Mario 64--Played it so much, good game non the less.
5.Altered Beast--Least favorite, but enjoyable at times.

 

[Netrunner2k2]

Just Sonic so far. I'm waiting to see what Monday's update will bring us.

 

[lachesis]

I've got Super Mario 64 and Sonic for now.

edit: Next 3 on my list will most likely be..

Sim City
Bomberman 93
Legend of Zelda

Sonic the Hedgehog

Zelda
Mario 64
F-Zero
Sonic
Bonk

 

[GDJustin]

1) Bonk

Only one I've downloaded. Have no intention of downloading others.

 

[NintendosBooger]

Just Mario 64.

None of the other games are worth my money.

Question: Who has the rights to the WWE/WCW AKI games from the N64? Is that situation similar to the Goldeneye dilemma?

 

[Andonuts]

1)Mario 64
2)Zelda
3)Sonic the Hedgehog

 

[DyTonic]

I reviewed three games..

Bonk's Adventure
Altered Beast
Bomberman 93

 

[Ashodin]

I'm not counting your entry UNLESS you have five games in your list, people.
Even if you haven't downloaded five games, PICK THE TWO OR THREE OR W/E more games you WOULD'VE HAD this week.

 

[jetsetmario]

Bonk's
F-Zero
Super Mario 64
Sonic
Sim City

 

[Andonuts]

I'm not counting your entry UNLESS you have five games in your list, people.
Even if you haven't downloaded five games, PICK THE TWO OR THREE OR W/E more games you WOULD'VE HAD this week.

but what if there were no other games that you wanted to download

 

[Ashodin]

but what if there were no other games that you wanted to download

Pick the games you WOULD have selected anyway, even if you had the slightest interest in them.

I only have four games myself, but I added SimCity because I was interested in getting that one even though I didn't want to download it over the others.

 

[Howard Alan Treesong]

how does forcing people to choose games the don't like and have no interest in make for a more accurate poll? if your list is of the "top 5 downloaded games," shouldn't you track (I dunno) the games that people have downloaded? in realityland.

 

[Nester]

Have downloaded:

Bomberman 93

Would download:
Mario 64
Zelda
Solomons Key
Bonk

 

[Ashodin]

It's accurate because you're having a constant five games picked. I SAID THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT, YOU KNOW, SCIENTIFIC FORMULA???

 

[GDJustin]

This is ****ing rediculous. You want "accuracy" so you're making people list games they will not buy? How ****ing stupid.

Why not just, you know... HAVE PEOPLE POST THE GAMES THEY HAVE BOUGHT. You don't think that would generate more accurate results?

 

[Red Scarlet]

Just filling in the blanks for what they wouldn't get seems to give disproportionate amounts of votes..unless you have to get 5 at a time. That's like the antithesis of accuracy.
