[Fearnavigatr]

There's Banjo, there's Conker and there's the original Diddy Kong Racing. Apart from that there's lots of forgotten 3:rd party titles that will never even be considered. Digging through my own collection I can mention CyberTiger, pretty obscure golf game on N64 by Saffire. That game is worth it for the two-player Battle Mode alone.

As for GoldenEye, I'm stubborn, I believe it will come, sooner or later. The demand is very high, and I believe the majority of the requesters would be fine with paying like 2000 points for it. I know I would.

[Mendez]

Zero Tolerance. It was an awesome FPS on megadrive.
1 bullet kills each enemy, you have a radar telling you where they are once they notice you and on the side it'll give you an amount of how many are left in each level. And there's hundreds of levels. It works brilliantly.

I was gonna get pics, but the URL's are of a ridiculous length and they won't work if I put on the IMG tags.

Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2

[kelvingreen]

I hope we do see the EA Hockey series. They're just too good to be left forgotten.

[yoshi175]

Dungeons and dragons: warriors of the eternal sun, that must come it's one of the best games

[Kevin]

I was actually gonna start a topic like this. Glad to see it. 8) Anway, what do you think the chances of the VC getting the below games?:

T&C Surf Designs (NES)
Double Dragon series (NES)
Maniac Mansion (NES)
Shadowgate (NES Original, not the blah 64 one)
Crystalis (NES)

There are a few more games that belong on this post that I can't remember at this time. When I remember the others I'll post them.

[SMBSSfan]

GoldenEye
Metal Combat
Ogre Battle
Double Dragon 2
Lufia 2
Super Smash Bros.

[Hendo]

There's a lot of people posting games that will probably come out on the VC.
If it's made/published by Nintendo, consider it on the way. If it's an original Rare game, then we're in the "unlikely" stage.

Now, if we're talking "less obvious VC games"...

Mega lo Mania (have to back up Smart Patrol on that)
The Megadrive's Disney platformers:
Castle of Illusion
World of Illusion
Quackshot
Aladdin
Jungle Book

These are unlikely because you have at least 3 corporations (and slavering teams of lawyers) to please before the contracts are signed and the games are up.
ie, Nintendo, Disney and whoever published it at the time (or owns the publisher now).

[antster1983]

This sounds like a new licensing deal needs to be struck up, like Konami had to for TMNT:

Source (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/791/791978p1.html)

IGN: Many of our readers are curious as to the 100 point increase on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Why was that game 600 points? Should VC players expect similar bumps in general with licensed games?

Dennis Lee, Group Manager for Konami: For TMNT, there was some negotiating involved with the licensing of the title. As you know, currently we do not hold the video game license for TMNT, so we had to create a new licensing deal for these titles. Every game is a case-by-case basis so I wouldn't say that it would be a standard of "any licensed game is going to be 100 points more than a non-licensed game". Our ultimate goal is to bring great entertainment to the consumer, unfortunately for this title the end cost needed to increase to be able to bring this title to the VC.

[Tennant]

The EA Strike series. That would make my day.

[Makeda]

The EA Strike series. That would make my day.

My thought's exactly :D
I would prefer Urban Strike the most though ^_^

[Smart Patrol]

More unlikely VC games!

Gynoug (Wings of Wor in America)
Solar Jetman
James Pond II
Sensible Soccer
Micro Machines
The Mega Drive version of Street Fighter 2, which I always thought was better than the SNES effort. A contentious viewpoint!

I see some nice old yet unlikely games there folks. Keep 'em comin'!

[Fearnavigatr]

The Mega Drive version of Street Fighter 2, which I always thought was better than the SNES effort. A contentious viewpoint!
Would that make any difference in a VC shell apart from horizontal remote controls?

[iNma]

Yes, partly in terms of licensing, and partly in terms of the quality of the gameplay, which hardcore SFII fanatics like yours truly might contend matters.

[Fearnavigatr]

Do elaborate.

[kelvingreen]

MD SFII had a number of mostly cosmetic improvements. "Normal" mode had up to four star speed, whereas on the SNES there was no speed adjustment on that mode. Also, there were more palettes used for the characters; I believe the SNES had four colour choices for each character, whereas the MD had about eight (I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but the MD had more than SNES).

Not huge changes, but just enough to put the MD ahead a tiny bit.

[Fearnavigatr]

You're sure that's regular World Warrior and not Hyper Fighting or whatever?

[Sektor]

:twisted: why wont road rash come? :twisted:

[iNma]

SFII on MD was based on a middling revision of the Turbo arcade board which was more popular than the slightly later revision used for the SNES conversion, and the faster processor of the MD allowed for some split second timing changes that had been introduced into the SNES version (mainly due to omitted frames) to be readjusted, so the MD version actually plays more faithfully to the arcade game as well, particularly when jumping in with deep cross-ups and for on-the-ground 2-in-1s.

Furthermore, that original MD 6-button joypad, together with the Japanese Saturn pad, has to rank among the all-time greats for fighters. 8)

There was no World Warrior port for the MD, only one called the Special Champion Edition, but which was, in fact, Turbo SFII Hyper Fighting in disguise, and not the arcade Champion Edition (which was the variant before Hyper Fighting)

[Fearnavigatr]

And I used to think Pokémon was confusing with it's different versions...

[Jazzem]

Lemmings :cry:

Say what you will about it not controlling well with a controller, but this *was* my ultimate childhood game, and probably my all time favourite game, so I'd do anything to get it on the VC. Curse you Sony for owning the rights!

But then, I probably wouldn't be satisfied unless they put all three NES, SNES and Mega Drive versions on there =P

[Smart Patrol]

Wow, thanks for so comprehensively clearing up those Street Fighter II questions there, iNma- saves myself a bit of typing! I just felt that the Mega Drive version was better than the SNES on various fronts- control, animation, colours and how the characters actually looked. I thought they looked a bit gormless on the SNES. Of course, if someone wants to prove my dodgy memory wrong, you're more than welcome!

[Mendez]

That's a big shame...

[kelvingreen]

Yeah, see iNma's very in-depth answer. :)

I'd completely forgotten that Sony owned Psygnosis. That's a shame, since that means we most likely won't see Shadow of the Beast either. :(

Still, Lemmings was created (although not published) by DMA (now Rockstar), so there may be some hope, but I doubt it.

Still, the Amiga original was the best, so I'd want that over any of the ports.

[Sektor]

Do you think pokemon snap will ever make it?

[iNma]

Yeah, see iNma's very in-depth answer. :)

Might this be the appropriate time to tell you lot that when you read about Street Fighter on Wikipedia, you're reading something written by yours truly. I hadn't registered yet, so you'll not see my name on the revision, only my IP address, so you can choose to believe me or not, but that's the truth.

[Sektor]

So will pokemon snap make it or not do u think?

Really? When I was hooked by EVO (...of course it was discovering the Daigo vs Justin full parry video), I didn't have any chance to play any SF game, so I ended up everyday on Wikipedia exploring in detail every single SF article there was, searching for emotions, beacuse I wanted to be part of it.

So, I think I can say THANK YOU, and hoping to raise your self confidence, because I really appreciated to be educated!
The only editing I made on Wiki has been removed (but it was no important thing), where some excessive fan of Kojima called Stealth games "snake'em ups" instead of "sneak'em ups".

Megalomania

Holy **** Batman that title is a wet dream to me :D. Please please release it. Had it on my Atari ST back in the day, didn’t realize it dropped on the SNES too before i control checked Wikipedia.

And the Megadrive which is what I played it on! :D
Awesome awesome game.

Actually, I didn't even own the game myself, but one of my mates had it on the Mega Drive, and I decided to "borrow" it from him and never gave it back. The speech was great for its time, with the various faction leaders having their own stock phrases, such as Scarlet's "Huh, no!" when you asked her to become your ally. I was never that great at it, but I'd buy it for the nostalgia alone. The VC is great for allowing you to relive your childhood. I find that a whole wave of crazy memories come flooding back, stuff that I hadn't thought about for years, when I play certain VC titles. Those were the days!

Messed with the CPS-1 arcade game too much, when the SNES was capable of a perfect or near-perfect arcade translation. As for SNES shooters, I'd rather have R-Type III (already on the VC), Axelay or Super SWIV any day.

It's annoying when people say games like that wich will obviously come some time :evil:

[Namco]

Hey guys. I registered for this forum just to put in my two cents as to what should be released on VC but probably never will... so here goes:

#1) Goldeneye - Rare - N64
This just won't get released. Nintendo spoke with Microsoft and Rare to try and secure the rights for Goldeneye on VC, but it didn't work out. Shame.

#2) Herzog Zwei - TechnoSoft - Genesis/MD
I just love this game. One of the first RTS ever made, or at least that I ever played. I bought it on a whim and was amazed at the depth of it. IIRC, 16 great maps, smart AI, and the 2-player split-screen in this game is some of the best 2-player, head-to-head action you'll ever experience... that is if you can find someone to play with who knows how to play this game. I think it won't get released because Nintendo can't find anyone from TechnoSoft to sell them the rights.

#3) Super Mario All-Stars - Nintendo - SNES
Won't get released because, why give away 5 games for 800pts when you can dole them out for 2500?

#4) Desert Strike (or even Jungle Strike) - Electronic Arts - SNES/Genesis/MD
I loved the SNES version of Desert Strike. Was a ton of fun flying around taking out tanks and looking for POWs in the desert. Don't think it'll come out because EA is unwilling to play ball with Nintendo licensing out the franchise. Big corporate mentality I think. Hang on to every IP with an iron fist no matter what.

#5) Super Monaco GP - Sega - Genesis/MD
Great Racing game. Actually let you race with your choice of an automatic, 5-speed, or 7-speed transmission. Had a career mode where chose rivals and vied for sponsorship with better and faster teams. No good reason why it wouldn't come out. Didn't see it on the list. Perhaps "Monaco GP" is trademarked?

Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. I'll post again after I start spending my Wii points. Just got 6000 today!

[Crunzh]

How about Bubble Bobble?
Id love to see that game on the VC.

Goldeneye hasn't aged gracefully, but the nostalgia factor would probably make me buy it.

Herzog Zwei! My mate had that game and it confused the hell out of me. I'd buy it!

Super Mario All-Stars: Yeah, it won't happen unfortunately. Oh well, I've already downloaded Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario World. I can't wait for the eventual release of Super Mario Bros. 3!

Desert Strike: I'd buy it for that title music alone!

Super Monaco GP: My cousin had that game, and I wasn't very good at racing games back in the day. I'll pass!

More games that would kick ass but probably won't see the light of day:

Battletoads
Wrath of the Black Manta
A Boy and His Blob
The Revenge of Shinobi
Speedball 2
James Pond II: Codename Robocod

Ever heard of a dude called Dave Perry? Used to show up in the videogaming magazines wearing funky clothing and pretty much making you feel silly about how much more he was enjoying what he was doing than you.

Failing that, you must surely have played MDK and MDK2, which were later Shiny games.

Different person. The Dave Perry you are talking about is a games journalist with a collection of bandanas. But I think you meant David Perry, the Ulster lad who left Britain for LA, and made Disney's Aladdin for Mega Drive and founded Shiny Entertainment, creators of Earthworm Jim, MDK, Enter the Matrix etc.

[iNma]

Nope, I do mean Dave Perry of Shiny Entertainment, and I was specifically referring to his appearances in Edge magazine circa 1996. Having said that, he was back in there the other month talking about his new venture.

In Edge he's always been referred to as Dave Perry, but having glanced at the Wiki article it seems to be David. Either way, He's the one I was talking about.

What does MDK stand for?

[iNma]

Unless I'm mistaken, the letters themself mean Murder, Death, Kill, but the games were simply called MDK. Dude, where were you four/five years ago? :D MDK 2 was a brilliant game!

[Smart Patrol]

It's all very confusing, but this Dave Perry is the guy with the "funky" clothing who was forever poncing around on Games Master and Games World as if he owned the joint...

..whilst this Dave Perry (on the right) is a big tall lanky bloke who founded Shiny entertainment:

It all depends on your perspective. When most game programmers look like failed facsimiles of John Carmack, a dude wearing a cool T-Shirt and a £400 Gucci belt (though I abhor the idea of wearing one myself), is indeed dressed in funky clothing.
