What Classic Racing Games Would You Like to See on VC?

[wii-c-kid]

I'm pretty much sure most of you would agree that racing games on the Virtual Console are pretty thin on the ground - particularly good ones.

Sure, we've got F-Zero, F-Zero X, Mario Kart 64, Waverace, Excite Bike and a couple of others I'd rather forget, but in all honesty I find most of these games really rather lacking - the N64 games in particular don't seem as much fun as when I had the original console.

Personally, I'd love to see the games from the Outrun series, Ridge Racer 64, Beetle Adventure Racing and - though I doubt it will ever come - Diddy Kong Racing (which I found infinitely more enjoyable than Mario Kart 64 which sucked on so many levels outside of multi-player)

What racers would you guys like to see come to VC?

Yeah, Diddy Kong Racing would be sweet...as Episode I Racer would.

Otherwise I'm hoping for R.C. Pro Am, though I fear it might never come, as it's a Rare game.

I would like to have OutRun as well but the C64 version, would probably just stay on the title screen to listen to that beautiful song that the SID emerges ^_^

But nothing apart from that since racing is best in three dimensions. I'm more of the realist racer (Formula One and stuff) so I'm not a big fan of either Mario Kart or F-zero.

Batman Returns and Adventures of Batman & Robin for the Mega-CD would be sweet. If you ever get the chance of playing those, you should really try them.


Shame about the licensing stuff, I doubt we'll ever see them on the VC.

Super Mario Kart, Super Hang On, R.C. Pro Am

[Shortay]

Diddy Kong Racing, Super Mario Kart and Excitebike 64 for me.

I've heard good things about R.C. Pro-Am for the NES - but it's a Rare game.

RC Pro-Am would be great, might never happen though. Other than that I think I just would like to see Rad Racer.

Rock n' Roll Racing!
