Sorry if this has already been asked, but there are so many great N64 games to choose from but it does not seem like they are interested in building up their N64 VC collection.
I suppose because they have to be optimized for the wii, as N64 and Wii are very different systems. Given, so are the older Nintendo systems, but they do not require as much power as the N64 does to emulate them. Just my thoughts though, anybody else know another reason?
Not sure but mabey because n64 games take up so much memory? If they had more n64 games people would by more and they might not have room to purchase brand new games.
They want the whole Virtual Console monday stuff to continue for as long as possible. So by releasing so few great games and only 3 a week and saving n64 games, they can release cirtain games on special occasions.
alot of the games for n64 most people seem to want was made by rare. microsoft owns rare now. so unless it has a character in it owned by nintendo like donkey kong or something you most likely will never see it.
turok? nope. conker? nope. banjo kazooi? nope perfect dark? nope. all owned by microsoft now and many more.

Turok isn't owned by Microsoft... The next one is coming out on both PS3 and 360.
It really DOESN'T make sense why they're releasing games so slowly. There's such a massive library of games from the past 20+ years, that even if they did put out 50 at a time, people would still be buying the games. It would be like if Nintendo decided to only release 1 game a month for Wii and DS because of fear that people aren't going to keep buying games. Yeah, not gonna happen. Personally, I would love to see Quest 64, Battle Clash, and Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge re-released. *Sigh* Nostalgia.:)
dude that is a good question. im agree wit darkmark91, WHERES MAJORAS MASK!!!incredibletlee
They are waiting to release Majora's Mask with the next Zelda for the Wii. It makes sense. 2nd N64 zelda comes out with the 2nd Wii Zelda (or 1st if you count TP as a GCN game).
Why would people buy the much better games (n64) over the so-so games that haven't aged well. And even then they(nintendo) aren't releasing the good nes games. where's my blaster master? We get volleyball instead of super spike v-ball. Still no cabal. No lolo. the list goes on.
Anyway i just want Dr. Mario 64 for vc. I love that game multiplayer.
I suppose you're asking half the question. The other half is how long does it take for that game to come out. If you look at Hong Kong Legends for example, it takes like a week of moderation until movies like Project A ever came out. With the Virtual Console, they must be deciding and moderating the way the game is going to come out. Add to it is incompatible controller pak and rumble pak via Gamecube's and Wii's rumble feature. Add to it is the rights from companies that expired at the end of the N64 era. So as a small guidance how long does each system of games is going to come out?
There should be a lot of factors coming to this. It's a good thing Gamespot came around or else I wouldn't know what any system is doing in there department.
Well, if you have that level of info, then maybe I'll drive my patients 'til the end.
