You forgot Terranigma, though with Nintendo's idiotic "no translations" policy for imported games the game would be very difficult to understand.  I believe it was released in Europe, though, so there is some hope there for an English import.

But yes, we really need all the SNES RPGs that Nintendo and Square-Enix have so far been astonishingly reticent to bring over.  Hopefully we'll see Ogre Battle 64 soon, because way too many people skipped that one on the N64.

On the subject of Super Mario World 2, it uses the Super FX chip, correct? Does that present a problem when emulating it on the Virtual Console?

Wasn't that a Playstation game, or was that just Star Ocean 2?  If so, we've yet to see any Playstation games on the VC, and I doubt we ever will so long as the PSN exists.

Yeah, according to Wikipedia it was released in 1996 for the Super Famicom, but was never brought over here.  Being an RPG that was never translated in English, though, is there really a market for it over here since Nintendo won't allow it to be translated?

Actually the game was translated when it was remade for the PSP a few years ago. So they could release the game if they wanted to.

By that logic, Square-Enix could use the FF IV GBA retranslation for a re-release of FF "2" for the SNES when they bring it to the VC over here.  But I believe Square-Enix has already said they're just doing a straight port of the original SNES version.  I think the same thing would apply here with Star Ocean: you can't just port over a new translation to an old game on a different console.  For the time and effort that would take to file all the data in the right locations, you might as well just localize the game properly.

It does seem as if virtual console has grinded to halt in the last year or so. Perhaps it will pick up steam this year and release some good titles. I would much rather have these games than Final Fight 3 or some of the other craptacular games that they have been releasing. How about TMNT: Turtles in Time for the SNES. At some point these games will have to be released on the VC because what else will they have?
 
What about the Arcade? How about TMNT, The Simpsons, Steel Gunner 1 and 2.

VC Arcade's been a real "nothing" in the US since it was announced, though supposedly it's quite a different story in Japan with Namco-Bandai all over it.  Probably the major problem with it is that all these old Arcade games we have fond memories of were licensed games, and those licenses have scattered to various holders now.  It's probably not worth what they could make on the VC to satisfy all those old license holders and reclaim the old assets.  The only exception we've seen thus far to that was the NES TMNT, and that must not have sold well since we never saw any other Turtles game.  I really do want to see the SNES Turtles in Time with the original music and voices, though...especially after playing that horrendous 2.5D "remake" on the HD consoles.

That's the big issue with the VC now: most of the remaining "big titles" we all remember fondly were either released by Rare, Squaresoft, Enix, or were licensed games...or they were released on the N64, which apparently everyone has decided to act like it never existed.  While we have hope for Square-Enix to eventually step in and release some of those missing titles, Rare is completely out of the question aside from Donkey Kong 64 and (as I mentioned) licensed games have legal issues.

Not having Rare games available for the service is like stumping your toe, it really hurts. I just wish Nintendo and the other companies would just go wild and release everything on virtual console or cut the prices in half, allow everyone to buy all the games available and then close the book on the service. If they are not serious about serving their customers, they should just leave the game.

I loved Kickle Cubicle...

Nintendo is reportedly barring 3rd party N64 games from releasing on the service which is sad because those are the ones I mostly missed and would most likely purchase. :P

If OB64 actually comes out I will spend the money to D/L it even though I already acquired a copy of the original.

Are you referring to the original release that had blood and Arabic/Muslim symbols and music in the Fire Temple?

The SNES game was never released in English, and PSP games won't be on the VC.

At this point, the only VC games I can think of that I want would be Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and EarthBound (well, maybe Conker's Bad Fur Day, but that one has 0% chance).

Yoshi's Island is definitely the biggest omission on the service currently. One that hasn't been mentioned is the original arcade Donkey Kong, since we have VC Arcade now and it has the level that was cut out of the NES version.

What about the N64 Mario Party games? Or are these games owned by a former developer associated with Nintendo? Just a little sarcasm.

I would buy Mario Party 3. Also, Mario Tennis for the N64; it's not as good as the GBC version, which is in my personal top 10, but it's pretty good.
