to that I forgot to add:

Maniac Mansion (NES) - ["Razor and the scummettes" lol]

crap - I forgot one more:

Guerilla War

Great choices! Throw in some contra and super dodge ball and you've got my dream list too.

I meant to edit my comment to read:

5. Shadows of the Empire (not Shadowgate)

And ask for Dreamcast games. Hydro Thunder? Power Stone? Seaman?!

Dreamcast games would be a HUGE memory hog for the Wii, but if they could pull it off that would be spectacular

Track & Field II. But then we have to have some kind of turbo ability on these classic controllers...

I still have my NES Max controller...

After a quick google, it looks like there are third party gamecube-style controllers for the Wii with turbo options.

One more to add... and now that I'm adding this one it's probably the one I want the most.

Pro Wrestling

I've used an NES Advantage joystick for the NES since getting one in the 80s. Is there a comparable controller for Wii?

Apparently you can use your NES Advantage with the Wii. Check out the NES RetroPort.... an adapter for your old-school NES controllers that plugs into the GameCube ports on the Wii.

Wow! Just looked it up. That's a great product. With that price point, I wish it was universal (like with multiple ends for Genesis, SNES controllers too). But still, really cool. Thanks!

Yup, and also my very first pick for a virtual console game.

If you loved Earthbound, you will love that 'Mother 3' for the GBA was translated by an independent team and is now available for download as a ROM in English. I don't condone stealing, but unless you know Japanese, it's the only way to play this game in English. And let me tell you, having played and beat it - it is UNREAL

Just wanted to let you know.. Mother was actually not released in the USA.. It is properly called Earthbound 0 and it was for the NES. The SNSE version you are talking about is actually Mother 2. Though they are a LOT a like.

Earthbound for the SNES was a release of Mother 2. Not Mother. Mother was an NES game and was not released in the USA until.. 2002? 2003? When they released a combo version of Mother 1+2. You are most likely refering to Mother 2 in this as Mother was loosely translated into Earthbound Zero not Earthbound when it was shipped to the USA.

Aside from that =p EARTHBOUND RULES! I <3 this game along with Secret of Mana (Already on Wii), Chrono Trigger, and FF6.

Just thought I should point this out... Mother 2/Earthbound for the SNES is the only game in the series that has ever made it to US shores. Mother 1+2 was a Japan-only release.

Mother and Earthbound are my list at this point. ;)

Aren't those already available?

Already available for download.

Check out Wiki's "List of Virtual Console Games (North America)" or check them out on Nintendo's site.

You don't mean Super Spike V'ball, do you?

I edited this comment, but for some reason, Newsvine won't post the changes. Anyway...

Why is Mr. Snow making such a big deal about Mother not being released outside Japan? Didn't he ever own an SNES, because that's where the sequel ended up... they just called it Earthbound.
