Virtual Console launch games
We've gotten word that the Virtual Console game list will look something like this at launch:
- Bonk's Adventure
- Castlevania
- Duck Hunt
- Excitebike
- F-Zero
- Kid Icarus
- Legend of Zelda, The
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Mario Kart 64
- Metroid
- Mortal Kombat
- New Adventure Island
- Ninja Gaiden
- OutRun
- Pac-Man
- Prince of Persia
- Punch-Out!!
- R-Type
- Rayman 2

This is not a complete list and new titles could be added at any given moment. In addition to these there are at least 5 new titles in development for launch. It's not known whether or not Virtual Console games will be playable online, something that would really add value to these classics.

That a cool list of games but I was hoping that I'd be able to play Super Mario RPG. Hope it gets added to the list before launch!
Econo
Oh! I forgot to ask what games did/do you want to see on the list?

I'd like to see LoZ Majoras Mask, Banjo Kazooie, maybe Earthbound. But I wouldn't worry about not getting games you want because plus the additional 5 VC games in development now, with wiiconnect24 Nintendo could be constantly working on VC games and uploading them. So all in due time we'll probably get what we want.

I wonder if you can use the wiimote and not the classic controller for some of the games like duck hunt, mario kart and maybe starfox or excitebike.

I was kind of hoping to see megaman X on there. Well I can always hope. Sonic the hedgehog 2 would have been a safe bet too.

Rayman 2, Sonic the Hedgehog? ON THE FIRST DAY? YAY! And I may as well try out the old LOZ, I've been wondering about it for a while now.

Awesome! I hope they have a mario party game.

I personally wanted to see the original Smash Bros on the list and DK64.

Hey
I want to see The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I never got to play it.

Oh man excitebike is fun, and I would get SM 64.

There's no super smash bros. But still sweet.

Need Super Metroid.

Well Econo, I definitely want to see Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Darius Twins, Space Megaforce, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, Contra III, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Super Mario All-Stars, Kirby Superstar, Ogre Battle 64, Yoshi's Island, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye and Gradius III. I already own Final Fantasy IV Advance and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for GBA, and the Megaman X games and Sonic games for the GCN. As one could tell, I'm psyched about this feature!

It's going to be SO awesome doing Duck Hunt without using that gigantic gun-controller for the SNES.
AWZ
Mortal Kombat! YES.

Sonic cames for the GC? Gamecube games aren't downloadable as they use disks.
Darunia106
Quartzlcc, what I meant were the Sonic games that were rereleased for the GCN, such as Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems. Since I already have these, there's little point in downloading the genesis sonics again. Is there?

Out Run and Star Fox are going to rock but where is Super Metroid.
bentendo
Will there be any Rare games? My list would look like this: Mario 64, Zelda OoT, Banjo And Kazooie, Diddy kong racing, Mario kart, Goldeneye, Star fox, Earthworm jim, Donky kong country and Wave race. What a list of absolute classics. Nintendo are gods, wii are going to have such a good time this christmas.
