To pick your 5 most wanted games to be made available on the VC for the systems already on it. Now there’s tons and tons of titles that can be chosen, but strangely I could only think of a couple that I really want on there. My memory decieves me in a time of need! So lets take a look at my 5 picks:
1. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES) – I’ve played this game time and time again, and yet something compels me to play it again. Sadly I don’t own the original SNES cart anymore, so this seeing a re-release on the VC would be perfect. And I know I’m not the only one looking to play this game again, so if Square and Nintendo can decide on putting this baby up, I’d be sure to download it day one.
2. Earthbound (SNES) – Even though I’m not the biggest RPG goer (strangely this is the second RPG on my list) I’ve heard only, and I mean ONLY good things about this game. It’s crazy story, quirky characters, wild humor, and tons of pop culture references, count me in! It looks fun, so if this so called gem surfaces on the VC, I’d be sure to give it a spin. Hopefully I’ll like it.
3. Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (SNES) – Some of you may have never heard of this game, but it used to be one of my favorite games when I was a kid. It’s short, but its full of comedy and really innovative. If this ever sees light on the Shop Channel, be sure to check it out.
4. Mario Party 3 (N64) – I picked this because I’ve been meaning to find this game for a long time now (the original cart) and so far I’ve been out of luck. eBay is too pricy for me, so a VC re-release would be excellent. But why the third may you ask? Because I already own the 1st and 2nd on the N64, and would like to have the 3rd, as the 2nd’s minigames get repetitive after you’ve played them 100+ times. Even though this title may be more unlikely to be seen soon, I hope we get it eventually.
5. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island (SNES) – First off, let me say this: Yoshi’s Island is one of my all-time favorite games. Why so low on my list? Because I own it for the GBA. If I didn’t, this would surely be my number 1. It’s the perfect blend of gameplay, graphics, and music, and I would surely re-purchase it on the VC just to play it on the big screen. This game is almost guarentee’d to see release eventually on the VC, so definitely get it if you’re a new comer.
Well there’s my five picks, remember to e-mail yours to vcpoll@futureus.com
