All this week, we've been talking about what we want to see on the Virtual Console, and we're not done yet. But it seemed like a good time to stop and ask your opinion. What games do you think deserve a VC release, and why? Go ahead and throw out a few titles. Don't be shy. We (probably) won't make fun of you; after all, we've been baring our favorites, for good and for ill. So join us and let us know what you're willing to drop five or ten bucks on.Wii Warm Up: Your choices for the VC

I have been waiting for Super Mario 2 & 3, and Double Dragon 2 & 3. All for NES. Great Games. I want to see more of the side scrolling games on the Wii. OR better yet make DS games playable on the Wii!

UN Squadron for SNES. my sister gave it away a few years back accidentally and it was my favorite game growing up. It's a capcom game and i hope they do release it but my hopes aren't very high for it.

The one that I hope and hope and hope will make it is Super Mario RPG (SNES). I believe that game set the foundation to the Paper Mario's to come.
Also, Paper Mario (N64) and Goldeneye (N64).

Shining Force 2! Heck, yeah! I was hoping for Smash TV, but with it being on XBLA, I wonder if we'll ever see it. Diddy Kong Racing was one of my favorites, too. I just wish the DS version had done more with the actual racing part of the game.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Metal Warriors -- can you imagine adding internet play to what was arguably the most fun multiplayer deathmatch console game of the mid-90s? I originally thought of Metal Marines -- also a good game, but not what I was trying to come up with. Both would make excellent VC additions.
Of course, other people have already mentioned some top priorities -- everything from Squaresoft, the Soulblazer trilogy, absolutely anything featuring Kirby or Zelda. Also, anything worth playing from the N64, as that's the only (major) Nintendo system I never owned.
Anybody else think it would kick ass to play Hyrdo Thunder using the Wiimote as a steering wheel?

Chrono Trigger (SNES) (And better yet, how about a DS 3D remake?)
