What games are worth buying on the vc, or wiiware?
I already bought Ocarina of Time, the original Zelda, Starfox 64, and Megaman 9
I was thinking about buying Secret of Mana, cuz I played it when i was like 10, but idk if i'd like it now

World of Goo is fun imo.
Lost winds is short but awesome... I liked defend your castle.

Super Metroid.
Also, Super Castlevania 4 is pretty sweet. And Ninja Gaiden is HARD.
Mario RPG, duh. And Star Fox 64 is good for some old-time fun.

Cave Story, when it is released to WiiWare. This version of the game is supposed to have a reworked soundtrack and other aesthetic differences. This title has solid gameplay in my opinion, and would be worthwhile to pick up.

You also have Punch-Out. I played it at your apartment when I was over for a meetup.
Also, SMRPG Song ftw.

You can't just google Cave Story?
It's a freeware platformer. It's very good.

Googling can be difficult for some people, evidently.
On topic, Dr. Mario Online!

Cave Story is a Metroid ripoff that turned out to be better than most Metroid games.
Basically Super Metroid > Cave Story > Maybe some Castlevanias > Every other Metroids.
And I second DKC123. Those three games, I find myself playing more than Wii games themselves. That sounds sad, but that's just how great DKC games are.

One of the best games I've ever played, possibly the closest thing to a "perfect game" I've ever played. Here are some handy links!

Cave story is an everything ripoff! That's the point! Each level, supposedly, was a tribute to a different game.

Hey I'm gonna go ahead and second World of Goo
i came across an ill-gotten wii points card or two and decided to try it out
simple, flash game quality fun, with nice looking visuals and acceptable music. neat little physics based touches, and a simple, somewhat funny story setup
even the wii cursor on the title screen is entertaining for a short while

I hear they're making Earthbound for the vc, i cant wait for it

I'll put in my hat for Y's Books 1 & 2. Once you figure out the bizarre combat mechanic (and how to equip stuff...) it becomes a pretty enjoyable, though simple, game. It reminds me a bit of Hydlide, only it doesn't suck and has excellent music.

Yeah you'd be better off finding a .wad file that has had the rom inserted into it
I'm not holding my breath for it otherwise

Yeah, the only hint we had is that Earthbound appeared on ESRB's website for the Wii/Virtual Console.

You're in Colorado :/
I was gonna suggest IK+ on Commodore 64 but as far as I can remember it was only an EU VC release. For only 500 points it's a steal. When my friends are round it's played nearly more often than Brawl.
