Topic: Five N64 Games That Should Make a Virtual Console Appearance

[Leo13]

The only reason I haven't yet bought Ogre Battle (either SNES or 64) is I don't have any Classic Controllers. Therefore, if they bring one of the 2 to the Wii U VC I'll buy it for sure as I'd love to give them a try. If I'd have known about them as a kid I'm sure I would have given it a try but I was clueless

Pilotwings, s'il vous plait

Pilotwings 64, to me, is the biggest question mark on the Wii VC. First party game, reasonably popular, with no apparent technical or legal hurdles to overcome, and yet it never came out.

I adored that game. Going into the birdman mode and just flying around exploring the USA was a zen-like experience for me.

If Mario Party 2 were released on the Wii U virtual console, I only see myself getting it with support of pro controllers and the gamepad, as I would not buy extra classic controllers (with the obligatory extra wii remotes for them) just to play the game on there.

I only own Super Mario 64 of the available N64 games on Wii U, but it supports all those types of controllers, so I assume any other games would as well. Now if we could just get GameCube adapter support, then we'd really be in business.

That is reassuring; thank you.

I would like Mario Party 4, but at the moment I assume it unlikely since that was a GC game, and seems Nintendo is not releasing those onto the eShop. But Mario Party 2 seems a possibility as an N64 game. Really hoping.

Sorry; have not gotten used to this forum yet, and seem to have bungled up the quoting.

Yeah, it can be tricky sometimes. I switched it around for you to what it looked like it was supposed to be, if I got it wrong let me know.

I always assumed there was some technical hurdle they weren't willing to invest resources to overcome. I thought I read or heard that somewhere in the distant past but I couldn't cite where and the commenter may have just been full o' beans anyway.
