Curse of the Sinistrals, a DS remake of the Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, originally came out in Japan in February 2010. It is a prequel to the original Lufia game, and follows the story of the ancestors of the first game's main character and the origins of the war between mankind and the Sinistrals, who are the four legendary harbingers of doom.
Originally, Lufia II was a turn-based role-playing game, but in the remake of the 1996 Super Nintendo version, the game is being changed into an action RPG. Additionally, the remake will feature 3D graphics and voice acting.
Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals will make an appearance at E3 in June, and will retail for $29.99 when it comes out in the fall.

Whatever. All I want is Lufia II on the VC, and thanks to this remake that's not going to happen. :'(
Also Broodwars we do have the remake of Kirby's Super Star on the DS and the game was released on the VC a few weeks ago so it isn't out of the realm of possiblity that we get the VC game.
I wish the Dragon Quest/Warrior games would appear on the VC, one of the NES ones (I don't remember which) was the first RPG I ever player, I was spending the night at a friends house and his older brother had a copy of the game.If you can recall anything specific about the game, I might be able to tell you which one it was.

I'll echo the VC sentiments from this thread, but maybe Natsume will release the original Lufia on VC to help promote their release of this DS remake?
Besides, it's not the first games fault that the developers decided to make Lufia II a prequel.
Isn't saying Lufia I spoils Lufia II like saying that the original Star Wars trilogy spoils the prequels? "What?! Anakin becomes a bad guy?! Thanks for spoiling that for me, movie that is 20 years older!"
I'm assuming that the developer planned for people to play the Lufia games in the order they were released. I haven't played the game before but is it obvious playing Lufia II that it is a prequel to Lufia I.? Or is the fact that the ending is the Lufia I ending itself a twist, and that it's an intentional reveal? "Oh this is the beginning of the Lufia I! The stories connect!" If that's the case then congratulations to everyone for spoiling the game! It may only in fact be a spoiler if you know ahead of time that Lufia II's ending is Lufia I's intro.
