I think they should re-relase the Beavis and Butthead game that came out on Sega Genesis. (good call on Road Rash BTW) Also, Tomb Raider 2 should be re-done with better graphics.

The ability to download Resident Evil Directors cut would be a little bit silly too.

God, I totally forgot about Mickey Mouse. I used to pick on my buddy for owning it. Then he let me borrow it and boy was I suprised. That game was FUN hands down. I'd love to see that come back. Great call on Road Rash as well. Although I'd prefer part 2 over part 1.

By the way just a terrible list by the author... come on. Not one of those in my top 5.

What I agree with that has been posted thus far:

Ducktales

Conker

Contra (already licensed to XBOX360 - won't happen)

RC Pro Am

Dragon Warrior

Uniracers

NBA Jam

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.

Just wanted to mention that Mother did have a version released on the super nintendo in the united states. It was called Earthbound. One of my favorite RPG's of all time.

#12 - Fri Apr 17, 2009 12:50 PM EDT

{"commentId":6542683,"authorDomain":"electricpresident"}

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.

#12.2 - Fri Apr 17, 2009 8:06 PM EDT

{"commentId":6551413,"authorDomain":"AuraoftheFlame"}

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.

Moo~

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. ;)

My favorite was this old Dodgeball game where you battled different countries, and the final round was where you played a black-and-white version of your team. It seems silly, but it was so fun! I had the buttons down pat to blast the other team with a powershot, and it was so satisfying to see the other team land on their butts.

Castlevania III was awesome as well. I played it so much I dreamt about it. World of Warcraft has my attention now, but all these old-school games would make me take a WoW break.

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.

It's nearly impossible for me to narrow my list down to just 5 games that I think should be on the Wii's Virtual Console. I will say however that I feel that Nintendo dropped the ball on their virtual console. While some huge titles are avaliable for download Nintendo has largely ignored cult classics and some of the biggest and most popular games from yesteryear. I know there's legal issues with some publishers and their games but I really have to call into question many of the choices Nintendo has made with regards to the games they choose to release. This goes for games of all systems too. Here's my short list of games I feel should be there but aren't:

Phantasy Star (Sega Master System)
Earthbound/Mother
Crono Trigger
Stinger
Punchout and Super Punchout (Arcade)
Arm Wrestling (Arcade)
Dodgeball
3D Worldrunner
Faxanadu
Legacy of the Wizard
Clash At Demonhead
Bayou Billy
Ikari Warriors
RC Pro Am
Dragon Warrior
Duck Tales
and many...many more....
