Well, I was strolling through MarioWiki, searched for digibutter.nerr (because there's a site now that's dedicated to all things nintendo), and when I went to the site to see what's new, I found that SMRPG is on VC...

...In Japan....EVERYWHERE!!!

Your thoughts on this announcement?

Super Mario RPG is something I would kill for.

::brags about having both a working SNES and copy of SMRPG::

No comments from the peanut gallery, thank you! *evil eye*

Say, now that I think about it, what other games would you like to see make it to VC?

I really can't think of anything beyond my picks: SMRPG and SoM.

And before anyone says it, BESIDES CHRONO TRIGGER.

Personally, I'd love to see lots of older games get ported. Like the entire NES library, third-party or not. The same for the SNES and N64. I'd also like to see add-on HDs that allow you to play your VC games from it, so it would be more economical to download tons of them without having to copy back and forth from an SD card (or just a freaking portable VC system).

And, although it pains me to say this, I would seriously consider buying a VC subscription that allowed me to download and play whatever games I wanted, a la arcade style.

For myself, the Virtual Console is the ability to play not only those games I grew up with, but also a lot of games that I always wanted to try but never got the chance to. Granted, there's a lot of crap from back then (of course, there's a lot of crap out there now), but good gameplay transcends graphics, story lines, and occasionally even common sense. Tetris is a prime example of this. Extremely simple, horrendously addictive, and it's possible to enjoy the original game now simply because it was so close to perfect from the start.

They don't make games like they used to, which is both a blessing and a curse.

I remember having hours of fun with Super Mario RPG, and always lamented never being able to own a copy. The fact that I don't have an SNES anymore (nor an NES or an N64), and yet can still play all these fantastic games for what's really a pretty reasonable price, is something that just makes the Wii feel like it has a lot more added value than what I initially put down for it.

And now I've gone on too long...I always get like this when it gets late.

Starfox 2 & E.V.O. The Search for Eden. That last one really needs a sequel.

Kirby Superstar and Majora's Mask (I always wanted to try it). In fact, pretty much all the Zelda games. I can't really think of anything else.

Seiken Densetsu 3, aka Secret of Mana 2, would be something I'd love to have finally.

For those who weren't pining every day for this, Super Mario RPG has been released on the virtual console as of September 1, 2008, in North America (we were apparently behind Japan AND Europe), but it's alright. I just finished download, and it'll have been $8 well spent.

Yes, I meant to edit this as well. Let huzzahs issue forth!

Now, I just need 50$ to buy this and a few other VC games...

For the win! ::likewise gloats::

If only Nintendo would sell ROMs for PCs through something like Steam.

It'd be nice if they'd put Earthbound up on the VC. Liked that one.
