Quartet of titles hit Wii's Virtual Console

They need the Zelda games for the N64 and Super Mario World

These games are pretty sweet, but where's Super Mario World? That game was awsome back in the day, hope theyget it soon.

Lasafrog: If you spent that kinda money on those games then you, my friend, are the one who got ripped off. Not to mention you Ebay commentators are forgetting that when you go find the game, you actually own something that many care to collect. VC is nothing more than legal emulation, and you pay a ton for what thats worth. VC has some great stuff, but it's terribly overpriced. I still can't stop from buying the TurboGrafx stuff though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 100% right you are.

.........nintendo is kind of slow at getting N64 games out eh? Its taking a bit too long for those to come out. The only games that seem to come out are NES, Genesis, and TurboGrafx

an RPG would be awesome---hope they can get one out soon!

Gunstar Heroes Rule! Great game from Genesis era!

I care. Not flaming on you, and not trying to start a debate, but I really like knowing about these updates. It's good to know Nintendo is keeping things at a steady pace with Virtual Console.

sweet! woot

YEESSSS gunstar heros ruled. I hope they bring back all the great games of sega, nes and snes and 64. Go nintindo you never ceas to amaze the fans. It would also be nice to see a remaid version of resident evil 2 and 3.

VVV It's obvious you must care enough to post VVV

wow!, Gunstar Heroes... nice! now wait for sin & punishment.

The Wii is no dream machine for emulating N64 games. They're porting on a case-by-case basis. Same would apply to Saturn games, with its tricky twin CPUs and the way different games used different processors, different resolutions, and so forth. Have they committed to any CD-based medium yet on VC? Nay. Consider a game like Tekken 2 on PSP - it's 530 megs. Saturn games would be huge downloads too. A lot more storage needed by users, and a lot more bandwidth by Nintendo, if they dip into a range of CD-based games on VC. Meaning per game cost = higher too. Besides, unlike a 530 MB Tekken 2 via PS3, getting into large media when their system has no hard drive isn't as practical or convenient for Nintendo or its users.

Gunstar Heroes! Gunstar Heroooooooooes! I'm a big fan of Treasure now, but unfortunately, I missed out on this one back in the day. Thank you VC for this second chance.

this goes to prove that everyone else has a fair go besides Nintendo Australia...

I've heard good things about gunstar heroes and dr. robotnik's was awesome back in the day. But, please, I just want Super Metroid. SUPER METROID!

Gunstar Heroes is one great game. Lots of good games they are adding to the download list already. Cant wait to see my classics as the months go by.

Glad to see Gunstar Heroes. Its a classic but I'm still patiently waiting for Wave Race 64. Come on big N Wave Race, Wave Race !!!!

I won't get my Wii till Christmasa, but the first VC game i download will probably be Gunstar Heroes because i heard that game is supposed to be amazing, but i'm still holding out for some really good games, like super mario bros 3 (greatest classic mario game in my opinion) and i always wanted to try super mario rpg since i heard about it a couple years ago. Viva la Wiivolution!

Ahh, the deliciousness that is Gunstar. Waiting around for Forgotten Worlds, Super Mario RPG, Mario 3, and Starfox 64 now. (Some Saturn games would be pretty cool....)

To mhder: well said. $5-$10 is an absolute steal for some of these great games.

Jaeme they want you to buy these while you wait for the better titles that you mentiones. Goldeneye is iffy because Rare developed for it. I have to say however that Gunstar Heroes is the best game on the virtual console so far save Super Mario 64. Gunstar Heroes is a first string shoot-em-up for sure.

Purchased Gunstar Heroes.

No offence intended towards the fans of these games, but so far the majority of games on the VC have been second or third stringers. I was hoping to see the Super Mario games, more of the good Sonics, Bionic Commando, etc. Heck even second string mario games like Dr Mario would be welcome. Where`s Donkey Kong Country and Star Fox 64? Or how about the great liscenced games of Golden Eye or Star WArs Shadows of the Empire? I`m a Canadian and Ice Hockey doesn`t even interest me. If they just released the titles I`ve hinted at it would be a great addition(if not an equal to)XBLA.

Yay! I've been waiting for Gunstar Heroes since they announced it a few months ago. I never played the original but heard that it's a classic.

Gunstar Heroes! Woot! Now that's a treasure worth downloading if you haven't played it yet.

Some good titles...They need to put A Link To The Past though

Gunstar Heroes! Wooo.

All this, and yet they still have only one SNES title up. Enough with the Genesis and TurboGrafx games already, show some respect for the best console in Nintendo's history. I mean, seriously. Give us some Chrono Trigger, Mario World, or Link to the Past and we're set for life.

gunstar heroes....too bad they didnt upgrade it to include the pointer.....

Gunstar Heroes was awesome

YES! i love Gunstar Heroes, I'll have to add Wii Points

Woah.....Gunstar Heroes. Going to download that right now.

To Jebril: Why did you not mention all the broken games Xbox Live has? Now stop your b^tching.

Streets of Rage 2 better be in the next batch of games.

People spend $4 for a latte but a game for $5 is a rip off? Yeah sure, they're not state of the art anymore but it's your choice to buy and if you like it enough, $5-$10 is a small price to pay these days.

Ice Hockey=Best hockey game fights.

Gunstar Heroes was the best Genesis game ever. Unlike many on the virtual console, I would gladly pay $8 for it.

Darko31786 people who are **** about pricing, if you bought any of these games off eBay, the only place to get them these days, they are twice if not three times as much money. The VC pricing is a steal. When i bought contra for NES of eBay it was 20 bucks, Zelda 2 $15. Your not getting ripped off believe me. If you spent that kinda money on those games then you, my friend, are the one who got ripped off. Not to mention you Ebay commentators are forgetting that when you go find the game, you actually own something that many care to collect. VC is nothing more than legal emulation, and you pay a ton for what thats worth. VC has some great stuff, but it's terribly overpriced. I still can't stop from buying the TurboGrafx stuff though.

Ice Hockey ^.^ I truly love that game on my NES........

Gunstar Heroes, bah-dow! That's the one I've been waiting for... Now I just need Toejam & Earl to drop!

*crosses finger* splatterhouse!!!!!!!!

ice hockey!!!!

Ugh...only 1000 points left...Gunstar or Hockey? T_T

Yeah! What about Super Mario? It's just like the best Nintendo game Ever!!!!
