To sega genesis and Turbo Graphix 16 I never really played alot of those games so I can't really say much but i do know some of the games on sega genesis. I was more nintendo fan than any other system back then.

I want Daytona USA (12 Megs, smaller than Ocarina).

I want all the Tetris games: Tetris, Tetris 2 (SNES only), Tetris Gaiden (Japan only), Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon, and all the others. I fear they will come slowly due to licensing costs.

I just want Mainiac Mansion for the NES on the Wii.

That's all.



That game is splendid.

Maniac Mansion? I fully agree, sir.

All the games that Rare made are not allowed to be on VC right? That's bad. That means that there won't be Donkey Kong Country, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo-Kazooie, and Battletoads.:( I wish all of those games could be on VC.

They aren't?! I haven't heard/read about that. But yes, I also would like the Donkey Kong Country games to be made available.


Also while on this, other oldies I'd like would be the TMNT games (know a couple are 'unlockables' on recent ones, but like to have all the older games made available). With the NES TMNT, TMNT 2: Arcade Game, SNES TMNT: Turtles in Time, and Tournament Fighters (all 3 versions) as main group of them I'd like.

As well as the NES Micro Machines. Hmm... have to think more (on what others would like).

But Nintendo owns DKC, right?

Okay, first of all, the TMNT games won't be what you want them to be if all serves as suckingly as it has lately. Remember? Konami didn't want to pay to relicense the original soundtracks in those unlockable versions a couple of years back, and replaced the soundtracks with sh*tty wannabe metalhead soundtracks instead. What do I do when an original game is raped for legal reasons? MAME. Nuff' said. I don't buy poor facsimiles.

As for Rare, you're getting the DKC games. No question to that. DKC1 is already out in Europe and Japan, but the US is getting delayed for some reason. As for the rest of the Rare stuff, there is no way to tell. I'm sure Microsoft would like Rare to put those games on the XBLArcade, but I'm not sure Rare would want to spend countless resources re-making their whole library in "High-def" this whole generation and having to completely re-do all of their games from source code I'm not sure they still have.

Besides, if recent additions are any indication, I don't want them on the XBLArcade. They have to "rebuild" the games and add sh*tty achievements and stuff to gain approval, and with the updated graphics, the games never look like the originals. Hell, the Konami games look like cheesy flash games flash games from some AOL kidz site. They're use fu*king MIDI soundtracks on top of that. I started boycotting after that. I don't buy Flash/Java games with MIDI soundtracks. I buy originals or nothing at all.

I worry most about Diddy Kong Racing because it contains Conker and Banjo as playable characters. It makes me worry that the DS game is being made only because they know the original will never see light of day again because it shares characters now owned by two console makers.

The situation is complicated. I don't know how it will work out in the end. Nobody does. In a perfect world, Microsoft would get upgraded versions, and Nintendo could use all the old originals, but it's such a legal mess, I don't know if we'll see any of them again. Like Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie. They both have Nintendo references out the wazoo. I suppose that stuff could be removed, but it would take a lot of the game's charm with it, and throughly piss off what fanbase Rare has left. Microsoft owns the characters, but Nintendo has references in all the games, and originally published them.

Solution? Emulation. I figure that's the only way you'll see them again anytime soon.

Well Conker had no more Nintendo references than BK did, and the Xbox version of that was far superior to the N64 version. If Rare did remake BK 1 and 2 for the 360, I would be fine with it. I would also love to see them put the first out there as an XBLA game. All they need to do is sharpen it up so it can run in HD resolutions and add achievements, big deal. The only reason some of those XBLA games are crappy is because Microsoft forces developers to upgrade the games, instead of just shoving out a direct port for some quick cash. The developers don't care to take the time and they shove out a sh*tty version. If a company like Konami didn't just cut corners and actually worked on the games they released, it would be perfect.

Wow! Little over-the-top there, TMB. So there are some changes done, I don't really mind (too much, at least). If the games are made available is the bigger thing for me.

Well, I'm one of those people who gets mad as hell when somebody tries to rewrite history. Like, I love the Nintendo references in Tooie, and I adore the little Game Boy in the file select screen in BK. Sorta' like Rare's little jab at Sonic and Earthworm Jim in DKC2, if you pay enough attention to notice those little things. Also, I'm not so sure Banjo-Kazooie would even work that well on the 360. Look at the N64 controller, then look at the 360 controller. Banjo used every button on that blasted, three horned devil controller. I can't see Banjo controlling as well without a complete rebuild, and I can't see Rare spending the money to basically redesign a game of BK's scale for an Arcade download.

Now, if they redid the entire thing for Retail, that might be different, but I'd rather they not bother and give us a new game instead. Like I said, it's a messy situation.

I could have swore I posted in this thread already but I'd like to see Revenge of Shinobi and the Streets of Rage Trilogy on the VC. Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 would be good too. Oh, and I was looking through a retro magazine before college this morning and it had a feature on the N64 that reminded me of Wave Race 64, I think it'd be great to play that again.

Eh? Didn't Banjo just use the C-buttons for camera movement? Let's not forget the 64 only had one analog stick (360 has two), two shoulder buttons (360 has four), and three face buttons (including Z), easily mapped to the four face buttons the 360 pad. There's also the ability to click in both analog sticks.

Conker worked on the Xbox. Even look at SM64 on the Wii, apparently it plays amazingly with the classic controller, which is a lot like the 360 pad in a ton of ways. Banjo would work just fine control wise.

Earthbound
Secret of Mana
The LOZ Games
Super Mario Bros 1-3
Super Mario World
Duck Hunt (wii-mote?)
Tetris
Chrono Trigger
Brain Lord
The Street Fighter Series
Mario Kart 64
SSB 64
Breath of Fire 1 & 2

I want them all... :evilgrin:

Do we even have any third party games on the horizon? (obviosuly stuff from Sega is third party at this point, but it's first party as a representitive of Genesis)/ Everything I've seen so far has been 1st or 2nd party, I think... please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, that bothers me. They need to start getting those things out by February, otherwise suspicions are going to rise. I know the Square stuff won't come until they've milked everything on GBA as far as they can. I hope it's not because Sony is trying to get exclusivity on some titles or something.


The C-Buttons in Banjo were all used to perform moves, and you almost always had to hold down the Z or A buttons while using them, and in half the cases, hold them down, like for Kazooie's talon trot. It was a huge mess. Mario 64 had relatively simple and intuitive controls, and didn't have you trying to perform vulcun neck pinches to make a character run up a hill.

Honestly I think they should come out with a classic controller that suits 64 games better. I can't even imagine playing games like Goldeneye or Zelda on it. Though I think the ideal solution would be to release an adaptor that allows you to use NES, SNES, Genesis, and 64 controllers. That would be truely awesome. Also I'm pretty sure we're getting the Donkey Kong Country games, the first one will be available on the Japanese VC at launch. I'm thinking that we'll probably have the same games as they do available at the Japanese launch.
