yeah, I'm not expecting (nor would I want) all of these to be released back-to-back, but if Nintendo threw one of these in on the Monday releases every now and then, the Wii would remain a fresh gaming system for a long time. (Yes, I know its weird to relate the re-releasing of old games to freshness, but these games bring back such great memories that I'd love to relive).
On with my list!
NES:
-original Metal Gear (probably never will happen)
-Golgo 13
-Rambo (maybe when Part 4 comes out? yeah, probably not)
-Duck Hunt (what a great time waster that would be with the Zapper)
-Kid Icarus
-TMNT the Arcade Game (the original was SO bad)
-Donkey Kong 3 (might not have ever been released on a home console, but it featured Mario protecting a greenhouse from bees and Kong. I loved it in the arcades.)
-Rush 'n Attack (or: Russian Attack)
-Lifeforce
-Anything Castlevania related (yes, even part 2)
-Ikari Warriors
SNES:
-Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Story (maybe my favorite game of all time)
-Earthworm Jim (maybe my 2nd favorite game of all time)
-Killer Instinct (better than it had any right to be on the SNES)
-Super Tecmo Bowl (real teams and players and an actual season)
-NCAA Basketball (revolutionary B-Ball game that was overshadowed by EA's offerings)
-Mortal Kombat 2 (1 was neutered on SNES, but maybe the Genesis version?)
-NBA Jam
-Earthbound
-Super Return of the Jedi
-Castlevania: Dracula X
-Starfox (just salivating at the thought of playing this again)
-Super Mario RPG (last hurrah of Square and Nintendo)
-Super Punch Out (well, we have the first one)
-TMNT: Turtles in Time
N64:
-Any one or more of the following: WCW Revenge; WWF Wrestlemania 2000; WWF No Mercy (best wrestling games ever. Hours of my time would be wasted with any one of these titles.
-Perfect Dark (questionable due to Microsoft owning Rare now)
-Goldeneye (defined the console)
-Donkey Kong 64
-Star Wars Racer
-Mario Golf (I liked this better than the Gamecube version)
Genesis:
I was never a huge fan of this system and most of what I like are already on VC (Sonic, Altered Beast, Golden Axe). That said:
-Shinobi (original one)
-Rolling Thunder
-Any Phantasy Star
TG 16:
Nothing. Did anyone even own this system?
Neo Geo:
-Samurai Shodown (it was a fighting game system)
I would love for Dreamcast and Saturn games to come to VC as well, but who knows if that's even possible.
I also wish, once the Wii has been out for a couple more years and assuming it continues to gain a user base, that Nintendo will find a way to get some of the overlooked Gamecube games into the hands of Wii owners. PS2 and X-Box blew the Cube out of the water and lots of us (me included) missed great games like Eternal Darkness, Beyond Good and Evil (original Cube game before other platforms, I think), Donkey Konga, the first 2 Metroid Primes, etc.
