Where's my Yoshi's Island!?

Hell F'n Yeah!

Hell yeah Super Mario Kart! About time.

Mario Kart really hasn't aged well. Especially after Mario Kart 64.

Took em long enough.

VC is okay but lacks Seiken Densetsu 3

The thing is that with these services, they're not meant to provide any enhancements to the games -- Just let you get them if you didn't before. Xbox Originals were the same way -- If you downloaded Halo to your 360, it didn't magically give you online play. It's all emulation, to let you play the games EXACTLY as they were originally released.

For new, online stuff, we have WiiWare, PSN Games, and the Xbox Live Arcade. All the older game downloads are actually supposed to be like this.

MY CHILDHOOD

I just want some good Capcom and SNK fighters released on Virtual Arcade. I mean, Japan already got a Virtua Fighter or two. Game like Waku Waku 7, SF Alpha 2, Red Earth, Last Blade 2, Matrimelee, Garou, etc. would be perfect to put on there.

Demon's Crest WHERE?!

good to see.

but sadly (depending on viewpoint) i've the heck w/VC and using HBC.

i would have paid for it 3 years ago but i'm sick of waiting. duckhunt w/wii mote = pureawesomness :)

i really don't understand why companies think they need to hold out on releasing these VC/PSOne classics. what, don't think we'll buy it? wouldn't it be better to have them available for when us gamers are reminiscing we can go...

"Hey! i can go and buy and download it since Nintendo published their WHOLE NES library on the VC.."

in a perfect world perhaps...

Emulators, man. It's free, all the games are there already, and features like screenshots, save states, control configuring, and display options.

Just letting you all know that.

I don't care about Smash Bros. I have Brawl. What I want is the original Star Fox on VC. Still my favorite one.

Super Mario Kart! <3 Oh how I love(d) that game... Koopa Troopa.
I agree with both sides here. Some of these titles should have been available from the start. I realize that most of us have previously owned or played these games, but not everyone, nor has everyone saved their systems to still play these games. So, for that, the Virtual Console is pretty sweet. However, VC games should, at the very least, come with bonus content of sorts, especially for those of us buying the game for the second time. Bonus content could range from a brief history of the game, remixed soundtrack or some other cool nugget(s)...
Also, not to float my own boat here, but damn I still own at the original Super Mario Kart! Back in the day, my friend and I would play serious marathon sessions of battle mode, I'm talking upwards of 75 or so matches! Too bad Nintendo couldn't somehow, someway implement online play for VC titles. I would have loved to challenge some of you loyal robots in battle mode!

I've had SSB64 on my Wii for a good 8 months now... and it's the NTSC, North American version.

SUPER MARIO KART?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAH!!!

it's posts like this that keep me from being a tried and true dtoid fan. nintendo beats the other consoles hands down in the digital distribution realm. with the amazing titles already out on vc and wiiware, you're going to have a hard time defending the title to this post. do appreciate your backpedalling in paragraph 3, however. won't be buying any vc titles for a few months, wiiware has my full attention at present.

It seems like they should have released Super Mario Kart and Smash Bros. 64 around the time Mario Kart Wii and Brawl were being released. I don't know why they didn't. They probably would have gotten a whole lot of more downloads by capitalizing on the hype for those games.

The games I really want are Yoshi's Island, Diddy Kong Racing, and Donkey Kong 64.

actual good games?

did you just call super metroid a shitty game?

I wish Chad had told me this on RFGO <3

The original Super Smash Bros. FINALLY!

Of course I've *not* been using this in the meantime: http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii64
