Virtual Console up and running

Wow Lunar is 4 days in the future!

The first comment in over a year!!!!

the first comment in 4 months!!!!

Would love to play baseball simulator 1.000 (SNES) with the wimote. You young guys probably dont remember the game as it was a arcade style of baseball with players with unhuman abilities. I am really leaning towards getting a Wii. I want my kids to play the games I grew up playing without having to blow on a cartridge..lol

Yet another reason why the Wii is the best next-gen system.

Put Pilot Wings 64 on the VC Nintendo!

:O Nintendo 64!? Now that I gotta get my hands on. Now I also find interest in Ecco the Dolphin. I hope to see Zero Tolerance (that was on Genesis and SNES) and Ms. Pacman in that list. Then that would really interest me.

wii is gonna kick ass

How can Super Mario Bros. not be on this list? I thought for sure I'd be able to download it right away.

"They need more then one n64 game Like Zelda ocarina of Time" They'll add more Nintendo 64 games... just be patient.

Cant wait for them to have entire series available, so I can Play Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World, Mario 64, Mario Sunshine (ick), and Mario Galaxy all on the same system

VIrtual Console is really cool! All you need is a wireless internet connection and a Wii points card and you're set for some awesome retro gaming. (downloads amazingly fast, too!)

They need more then one n64 game Like Zelda ocarina of Time

it seems like a good service

Panzer Dragoon

Megaman!

If Nintendo Brings Virtual Console ONLINE Head to head play.... OH boy, OH boy... things can get really fun. Good Start though.

Very good Nintendo here is my request for future downloads please... Turbo Grafx 16 (Devils Crush, Blazing lazers, Air zonk, Gunboat, Magical Chase, Military Madness, Raiden, and Splatterhouse.) Super Nintendo (Axelay, Actraiser, Breath of Fire 1 & 2, Dracula X, Earthbound, Final fantasy 2 & 3, Contra 3, Lufia 1&2, Mega Man x, x2, x3, Ninja gaiden Trilogy, R-type 3, Secret of mana, Super Bonk, Super ghouls n ghosts, Super mario All stars, Super Mario Kart, Super mario RPG, Super metroid, Super Punchout, Yoshi's Island, Space megaforce, Tecmo Super Bowl, Tetris attack, Turtles 4.and Chrono trigger) Genesis (Castlevania Bloodlines, Castle of illusion, General Chaos, Ghouls n ghosts, Herzog zwei, Landstalker, Shining Force series, Shinobi, Phantasy star 2,3,4, All sonics games, Streets of rage 1,2,3 .and thunderforce2,3. These are some of my alltime faves plus please bring on Sega Saturn titles. This will be a goldmine for Nintendo and publishers. Anyone else agree/disagree with my list?

Common sense: I'm glad I waited on the DS (for I ended up with the much better Lite version) and now I'm glad I didn't rush right out and buy this thing right out of the gate, for obviously it's going to be a while before they get their act together (as I suspected). I won't even bother with a Rev until I see games like ChronoTrigger and FFIII on the VC list.

Good start-They need to add waaaaaaaaaaay more super nintendo ones though.

not enough games

do u think theyll add balloon fight 2 the list

me 2

I hope they add Majora's mask to the list.

Here some odd request... Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball on SNES, Mutant League Football on SEGA, and Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts - SNES... instant classics in my book

bring us ninja gaiden BEST GAME OF ALL TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second the desire for Shining Force and Earthbound. Definitely impressed by the inclusion of Toe Jam & Earl, though.

Space Harrier II?! If this had an online scoreboard, it would be worth the price of Wii admission alone!

well i know what im gettin from that list i hope at some time they get Sonic R on there

Pretty great selection to start off with!

diablobasher It was called Ninja Gaiden in Europe...

shining force please!

cool old school games Super Mario 64 it was long time ago i playd it....hehe!

I think its great that since Sega isnt in the console wars anymore that both they and Nintendo work together somewhat. I'm hoping to see the first Splatterhouse game for TurboGraphx. I loved 2 and 3 for the Genesis but never got to play the original classic. I'm excited about the emulation, I collect Genesis games and I really hope they have some of my favorites, like Shining Force 1 and 2, Landstalker, and Rings of Power. I have alot of the original games anyways, but it would be nice to see them on the wii. Of course for $8 you may as well get genesis system and some games on half.com or dare I say ebay (in lots) you wont spend as much and you can let them increase in value, sell them for a million and one dollars and rule the world!!! hahahahaha....or something like that. But seriously I bought Chakan for $2.00 with box and manual, Kid Chameleon for like 6 I think. of course I did pay out the nose for Rings of Power...

"m0thr4 GrimBee: You don't need a high-powered PC at all... a chipped Xbox does just fine: you can plug it into the TV, you've already got a joypad, the N64 games run pretty well and, best of all, in most of the emulators, you can save your game at any point, making previously long-winded titles much less arduous to play through to the end. ". What I was getting at, was that its perfectly LEGAL to play on the virtual console with the wii, and hassle free. I mean, whats the percentage of people who illegally mod their xbox compared to wii owners? I believe it has already surpassed that with the wii sales right now. N64 games barely run well at all, graphical bugs.. etc. Goldeneye is awful on it. But you know, thats for another forum to talk about.. The fact is, you need quite a beefy pc to run n64 emulation to the rate its at on the wii. The virtual console is perfectly legal, hassle free. Its pointles for people who have a reasonably pc to be able to run the n64 stuff aswell as others, but I would put my bets on Nintendo getting the most perfect retro experience over pc emulation, all you would need to do is install an update to correct the problems. Basically, you have one group of people who want to play the retro stuff, but dont want to bother with emulation, or hack into a console and do some diy. and you have the other who is already into emulation, and actually thinks of the wii as a threat on their part. I for one am happy about the virtual console, it brings retro into the mainstream audience. Whereas emulation on the pc (or on consoles via hacking) is not widely accepted. And for the record, for you to legally play the emulation without the virtual console, you would need the original game... which can cost you even MORE than a virtual console game. This topic is for the people who want the retro games on the wii, not breaking into some console and modding it to play this old stuff.. if this was legal it would of been done years ago. And even though the virtual console IS emulation (still on high horse :P) its about as perfect as you can get without any hassle of buying a decent pc to run n64 stuff.. and for the comment about xbox's being chipped, its not entirely legal in most countries to do this, and it voids the warranty... and you need to do more than just buy one from nintendo connect service...

cool~~

I want Ninja Gaiden for the NES, but i want Ninja Gaiden! Not frikkin 'Shadow Warriors' as it was called in europe! Not ready for the word 'ninja' my ass, gimme Ninja Gaiden!

Can't wait to play Super Mario 64 again.....

Can't wait to get my Wii to get some of these games.

My damned Wii wont get online because of my dads stupid firewalls and junk... *sighs* Gotta wait til I move out before I can do anything online with it. Sucks though, cause xbl works just fine.

Ninja Gaiden for NES is a must. And Super Mario RPG. And Punch-Out! A little BlastCorps for N64 wouldn't hurt either. Did I mention EarthBound? And then there's.....

i hope i can find one for my b-day

wheres ocarina of time! or link to the past! and super mario world! and metroid and super metroid! those better be up later next year, at least i hope

i like my Wii, but hella disappointed in virtual console offerings so far. and it looks like they'll be slow to roll out more games. boo.

i should have waited for better games. forgot how boring zelda is without a map and wasted my money on the crap mario. still debating if i like the classic controller i bought, but i love everything else about my system.

I love my newly bought Wii

soon itll take off, i think

got my wii, and Zelda's fantastic

I can't stop playing bowling long enough to play any other Wii game
