Virtual Console

[rgraves]

If you could immediately add three new titles to the current Virtual Console line-up, what would they be?

For the sake of argument, assume that no new systems can be added (so NES, SNES, N64, MD & TG only) and also that no new features (such as online multiplayer) can be added either.

Me?

1) Super Mario Kart (SNES, 1992)

2) Axelay (SNES, 1993)

3) Doom 64 (N64, 1997)

Not my 'all-time greatest' game picks by any stretch, but three that I'd love to see added tomorrow.

[Darren]

1) 1080 Snowboarding

2) F-Zero X

3) Street Fighter II Turbo

[Davros sock drawer]

Doom 64? Blimey, that is an odd choice.

My three would be:

1) Super Metroid (SNES)

2) Side Arms (PC Engine)

3) F Zero X (N64)

Of those, I reckon Side Arms might be the only one I never see.

[Ste Pickford]

1) Plok! (SNES)

2) Solar Jetman (NES)

3) Equinox (SNES)

oh, and Tinstar (SNES) if I could have a 4th.

Kerching!

[Darren]

Kerching!

Would you see any of the cash though?

[Swainy]

I'll go for

1) Goldeneye (N64, 1997)

2) Truxton (TG, 1992)

3) Double Dragon II: the Revenge (TG, 1993)

[rgraves]

Doom 64? Blimey, that is an odd choice.

I know, it's actually the one that prompted this thread. That of all the titles out there, that was one that I'd really love to take for a drive again. I've just got excellent (rose-tinted no doubt) memories of it.

[Paulando]

1) Paper Mario (N64)

I absolutely adore the sequel, but I never got the chance to play this. I want this to be released more than anything else!

2) Quackshot (MD)

One of the very best 16-bit platformers for sure, I'd love to be able to load this up from the Wii Menu every now and then

3) Chrono Trigger (SNES)

Another game I've never played, but I've always wanted to. I just can't relax enough when I'm sitting at my PC to play RPGs, and the SNES emulators for the PSP still leave a lot to be desired.

[Ste Pickford]

Would you see any of the cash though?

As if!

I think my 3 absolute must buys would be:

Super Metroid (SNES)

F-Zero X (N64)

Mario 3 (NES)

Crap, yeah, Paper Mario too, as I've never played it. I'd probably grab Mario RPG too if it ever appeared.

[Tangent]

3) Chrono Trigger (SNES)

Another game I've never played, but I've always wanted to. I just can't relax enough when I'm sitting at my PC to play RPGs, and the SNES emulators for the PSP still leave a lot to be desired.

I would love to see this too... but am I right in assuming we never will in the UK because it wasn't released here?

The only version of Doom I've ever enjoyed is the PC original, but it has to be on a 386, in low detail, with the window shrunk to the size of a postage stamp.

Actually, I'm lying on two counts there, because I had great fun with the severely cut down 32X version when I was at college. Maybe Doom 64's not such a bad idea.

[Capwn]

1)Goldeneye (N64)

2)Star Fox (SNES)

3)Lylat Wars (N64)

[Graham S]

Sin and Punishment

Excitebike 64 (with a better framerate, hopefully)

Can't decide about a third one. Any of the N64 games from the list below I love enough, or I'm curious enough to play that I'd buy on VC:

Paper Mario, Star Fox 64, Blast Corps, Wave Race 64, 1080 Snowboarding, Beetle Adventure Racing, Star Fox 64, International Superstar Soccer '98, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Pilotwings 64, F-Zero X, Tetrisphere, Space Station Silicon Valley, The New Tetris, Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Jet Force Gemini, Wetrix, Pokemon Snap, Body Harvest, Lode Runner 3-D, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, Snowboard Kids, Mischief Makers, Yoshi's Story, Bangaio.

Is that cheating?

[Ork1927]

1) Mario Kart (SNES)

2) Chrono Trigger (SNES) - although I'd prefer a GBA/DS port

3) Goldeneye

plus UniRally but I believe that has been submitted for a rating so should hopefully appear soon.

[rgraves]

Is that cheating?

Yes

[Paulando]

I would love to see this too... but am I right in assuming we never will in the UK because it wasn't released here?

I hope it wouldn't come down to that, Paper Mario didn't get a PAL release either, did it?

[JPickford (retired mod)]

F-Zero X

Mario Golf

Paper Mario 1 (Never played it but loved the sequel)

[Davros sock drawer]

Oh my! ISS98 would be wonderful to have just sitting there, waiting to be played.

Mischief Makers would benefit tremendously from the improved D-pad of the Classic Controller, it being one of the few N64 games to have used it.

"Shake, shake!"

[rgraves]

Which version of Mario Golf JP? I guess the N64 one is the only option isn't it?

New rule, you must also specify the system!

[Super Craig]

MC Kids (NES)

Streets of Rage 2 (MD)

Super Mario Kart (SNES)

[Davros sock drawer]

I hope it wouldn't come down to that, Paper Mario didn't get a PAL release either, did it?

Yes it did, it's very rare and expensive though. I had it, but sold it.

[Paulando]

Mischief Makers would benefit tremendously from the improved D-pad of the Classic Controller, it being one of the few N64 games to have used it.

"Shake, shake!"

Oh aye, most definitely. A fun game, but it was very difficult to control with the N64 pad.

[elmo]

WCW NWO Revenge... online!!!!!

oh oh pilot wings 64

[Davros sock drawer]

Pilotwings in RGB with a better framerate would indeed be delicious.

[Sprite Machine]

Super Metroid (SNES)

Goldeneye (N64)

Paper Mario (N64)

[rgraves]

WCW NWO Revenge... online!!!!!

oh oh pilot wings 64

Wow, you picked just two AND added online. You read that first post good

[Darren]

Yes, Paper Mario came out here, and I was going to put it on my list but it's not one I'm itching to replay. (It was utterly fantastic in every possible way though, especially the "Peach bit" in the middle.)

[Xevious]

I would love to see this too... but am I right in assuming we never will in the UK because it wasn't released here?

Gnnnh.

[Darren]

Gnnnh.

But what's under the flap?

[Hawkeye]

1. Super Metroid (SNES)

2. Starfox (SNES)

3. Starfox 64\Lylatt Wars (N64)

The first two because I've never played them, and the third just to save me digging out the N64 every now and again.
