Snowboard Kids.

Side note: Why are TJ and Bob so preoccupied with 19-19-1985?

No one on Earth is waiting for Balloon Fight or Ice Climber on the Wii U. Nintendo always goes to this old "black box" NES games that us kids thought were old and lame in 1988!

Actually, do people in Japan want these games? Remember, the Famicom was out for two years with just these games before the NES launched and SMB came out. If not, then it's probably because of people like Iwata who have nostalgia for the games they programmed.

And why the hell are we even getting the NES version of DK Jr. anyway? Every other company now provides arcade perfect versions of their classic arcade titles, except Nintendo. We should be getting the arcade versions of DK, DK Jr. and Mario Bros.

Legal issues. They subcontracted their early arcade games and got in trouble with Ikegami Tsushinki over copyrights.

Star Fox... I've been crying for it since 2006. What's stopping the game, proper emulation or something?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #35 on:** April 28, 2013, 09:08:24 AM »

Could be, there aren't any Super FX games on the Virtual Console. But obviously Nintendo isn't going for 100% accuracy with emulation if they have N64 games on GameCube and Wii.

I think the Super FX games are good candidates because they'll probably be a lot easier to emulate properly with the increased power. I think all this a backlash on their end from what happened with, as Brandogg mentioned, Majora's Mask on the GameCube disc. It seems like they went through a lot of work to get those N64 games running properly on the Wii VC, which would explain why we got so few of them. Again, the Wii U hardware opens the door for more efficient N64 emulation.

Wasn't Super Metroid in their preview video? I think any of those games not being there day one is a disappointment.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #40 on:** April 29, 2013, 02:14:41 AM »

Super Metroid is next Monty's 30 cent game, and it doesn't appear as if it'll be out before then.

Easily solvable. How does it get solved? Money!

Harvest Moon SNES - I recently got the itch to play this game and a cart is $40 so this would be the perfect $8 VC pick-up. This was out on Wii VC. I'm not going to pick it up now though, I'll wait for a Wii U edition. If it takes them 2-3 years to re-release I'll probably just move on to other games and not end up purchasing it.

That's the biggest disappointment in my opinion. Yes, this service would never get 100% of the available games, and yes, it probably made sense to trickle out new re-releases on the Wii VC. But they are seriously missing an opportunity here. They can't trickle out games for the next 2-3 years that have been available on the Wii VC for the last 5 years and expect it to bring excitement to anyone. Even people that love the games will be hardpressed to pay the $1 or $1.50 upgrade fee after they've gone 3 years without a Wii U version.

They should focus on growth. Arcade, Gamecube, Wii U, maybe even Win 95 games, or fill out older catalogs for Neo Geo, Game Gear ect. I want this to succeed, but I just don't see this succeeding if they plan on rereleasing the already available Wii VC games over the life of the Wii U. I never even moved Wii VC games to my Wii U and it looks more and more likely that I won't waste my time.

Long Story short, Nintendo should have never let Rare go.
