Nintendo asking for Virtual Console suggestions

[Liontamer]

Donald Haviland of the Facebook group Videogame Music Doesn't Get Enough Credit just sent a message on this, so in case it hasn't been mentioned here yet...

Also, please note the full list of available and pending VC games are listed on Wikipedia, with each column sortable, so you haven't got any excuse not seeing a game that's already listed.

Mail vcpoll@futureus.com with your top 5 picks.

Hello, fellow gamers! I just thought I'd let everyone know about an interesting poll Nintendo is conducting. All of the information can be found here:

http://starmen.net/forum/?t=msg&th=44975

Basically, they want to know what five games that Wii owners would most like to see as downloadable for the Virtual Console. This doesn't happen often, so seize the opportunity to tell Nintendo what you want! In case you're wondering what I'm putting on my own list, I've chosen:

1. Super Mario RPG

2. EarthBound / Mother 2

3. EarthBound Zero / Mother

4. Illusion of Gaia

5. Kirby Super Star

Happy gaming everyone!

[Effef]

1. Earthbound (Mother 2) - SNES

2. Earthbound Zero (Mother) - NES

3. Final Fantasy 3 - SNES

4. Super Mario Kart - SNES

5. Vectorman - Genesis

I think nintendo's doing this just to be assholes to Mother fans.

We all know damned well earthbound wont be released even if its the only thing that gets requested.

[Lancer]

1. Dragon Warrior/Quest 4

2. Mother 2

3. Gemfire

4. Breath of Fire

5. Super Mario RPG

Thats the list I'm going to be sending off to them.

So true. "Oh! Mother won't sell well in America! Final Fantasy is more loved than Mother!"

BULLSHIT!!! Nintendo, stop being bitches and give us some Mother/Earthbound lovin'!

My List:

1. Mother/Earthbound Zero

2. Final Fantasy IV

3. Final Fantasy VI (III)

4. Mystical Ninjas Starring Geomon (Nintendo 64)

5. Final Fantasy III (Famicom)

[Lancer]

I think thats the problem with many if not most RPGs out there or all of them. The companies don't want to break away and show some other light out there in the relms of RPGs. Mother, the old school Dragon Warriors, Lunar, Breath of Fire and the like. I mean, sure, FF had some great games, but they're not the best thing since sliced bread. Unfortuantly, I think Nintendo is latched onto them thinking that they are.

Hell, for that matter, throw Chrono Trigger onto that list.

[Hawkwing]

uhh... Secret of Mana love? anyone?

[OceansAndrew]

[avaris]

Ah what the hell maybe they'll release some of those JRPG's over here finally?

1. Seiken Densetsu 3

2. Secret of Mana

3. Lufia 2

4. Terranigma

5. EarthBound / Mother 2

[Liontamer]

1. EarthBound (SNES)

2. Mother (NES)

3. Solstice (NES)

4. GoldenEye 007 (N64)

5. World Heroes 2 (Neo Geo)

GoldenEye will apparently never happen, but then again, none of the other games have much chance. But I've put 'em out there!

[Admiral_C]

What I'd really like to see is translated versions of all the Fire Emblem games that never made it over here...

FE:4 for the Super Famicon particularly...

[chrono26]

Earthbound

Mystical Ninja staring Goemon

CHRONO TRIGGER

CHRONO TRIGGER

CHRONO TRIGGER

[Lancer]

I'd like to see them translate and bring over the orignal Romancing SaGa games. The ones before Frontier one and two.

[Thalzon]

Sent my list.

1) Earthbound

2) Chrono Trigger

3) Startropics 2: Zoda's Revenge

4) Super Punch-Out!!

5) Hogan's Alley

[Airwalker]

I got really excited until I read the part about it only being a poll.

I mean, I know they have about 3-4 more years to milk this virtual console thing out slowly, but I wish they'd add more highly demanded series.

[Aninymouse]

1. Earthbound

2. Kirby Super Star

3. Mother

4. Super Mario RPG

5. Tetris Attack

My spin on things.

[Mr.Roboto]

Is Wiiware a part of VC?If so,a Mother 3 released through WiiWare with an English translation,Pretty much trumps all.

Though it will never happen.

: (

[Scufo]

1. Mother 3

2. Earthbound

3. Tetris Attack

4. Mario Paint

5. Super Mario RPG

Mother 3 isn't gonna happen. But it should. It really really should.

[kitty]

Banjo Kazooie. The end.

[entropicdecay]

Earthbound/Mother 2

Mother

Mother 3

'nuff sed

[Shadow Wolf]

Two words:

RARE. WARE. THAT IS ALL.

[Effef]

Banjo Kazooie. The end.

Not happening, no matter how much we want it too. Rare still owns the copyrights.

1. Soul Blazer

im glad someone around here has half a brain

now ill get back to playin earthbound on my wii :]

[Zombie]

No chance of this happening, but... Links Awakening! I know the VC doesn't support GB games but it is the only game I have not played in the series.

I'd love to see Banjo Kazooie. Even though it freaked me out as a child.
