Sonic & Knuckles and Phantasy Star IV are the only remaining games on Sega's side, I believe, as well. Judging by that list of games, VC looks to be about done.Andrex said:

I have some issues with Mario Tennis, but I would agree that Mario Golf GBC is the best Mario Golf title yet made. Fun without needless complexity.

The RPG aspects are what ruined the game for me. Unbelievably boring. Mario Golf 64 and the far superior sequel Toadstool Tour offered unadulterated fun. I made the mistake of buying both sports games on GBC and then again on GBA.pakkit said:

So, can anyone tell me if the Fire Temple music in the VC version of OoT is the same as the original, or is it the "reworked" one?

We went over this on the last page. While it's entirely possible for Nintendo to do, the engineering cost of reproducing the on-board chips in software emulation has to be outweighed by the potential profits in a cost-benefit analysis. That, and it takes time to do. This is probably why we didn't see Super Mario RPG earlier.

Nintendo needs to release that Excitebike clone with the Mario characters in the US.

Cheesemeister said:Yes, exactly.
So in summary, we can probably only still expect the following from Nintendo...
NES
Pro Wrestling
Star Tropics II: Zoda's Revenge
Super NES
Earthbound
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Super Play Action Football
Super Punch-Out!!
N64
Donkey Kong 64
Excitebike 64
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Mario Golf
Mario Party
Mario Party 2
Mario Party 3
Mario Tennis
Pilotwings 64
Super Smash Bros.
And if the Tetris license is re-upped, these...
Tetris (NES)
Tetris 2 (NES/SNES)
Tetris Attack (SNES)
Tetrisphere (N64)
The New Tetris (N64)
It would be nice to get some SMB2: Yoshi's Island on there as well.

SMRPG? Released separate from Ys I&II? Nintendo got wind of Dragona's ban threat? Awesome.
There's a few more. Aside from the obvious Shining Force II and eventual US releases for ESWAT, Crack Down, and Vectorman, there's also some of their other stuff like Flicky, Jewel Master, Chakan, Last Battle, Mystic Defender, Vectorman 2, OutRun, X-Perts, etc., plus a ton of potential Master System releases.

With the announcement of SoM for VC I just sold my SNES and games (only a few games) ^^
Well selling it as we speak XD
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore (can live without)
FF:Mystic Quest (will miss it a bit)
illusion of Gaia (never even played it :/)
and a couple more RPGs I havent replaced
easy 100 bucks ^^ (I got the FF games on GBA re-release simply because SNES batteries die sometime, better to get rid of them before the battery dies and get $$ for it ^^)

SUPER MARIO RPG?!
Would anyone like to bestow upon this hard working law enforcement officer 1 Wii point (I have 700
) because I have NO idea where my credit card is and SMRPG is my favorite SNES game ever 
.
3751 4589 6182 2887 - my Wiiner code - if you had me on your friends list before I know it's a different code, because my Wii boinked out on me and Nintendo sent me a new one JUST before my one year was up.

Bug fixes. Fire Temple music with Muslim chanting was replaced with a stripped down, non-chanting version of the song. Some symbols were removed/replaced (such as various instances of moon and star configurations), including an appearance on the Mirror Shield. Ganondorf coughs up green blood when defeated, instead of red.
A few other miscellaneous changes along that vein.
If you want to see, hear, and play the original OoT, you'll need to track down a gold cart or one of the early batches of gray carts that released alongside the gold ones. Later revisions, including all later GCN/Wii ports, emulations, or compilations, and later cart batches, feature the changes listed above.

I don't know why they just didn't do another chant...it's really missing something without the chanting.

thanks to my good buddy Penguin who gifted me this game - I owe you one buddy.
I love Super Mario RPG - first RPG game I ever played - good stuff - the music rocks too.

Mario Golf and Mario Tennis also utilize the expansion pack to unlock extra characters. I wonder what Nintendo will do about that.
Also, I think we should add Mario's Super Picross (SNES) to the list of potential releases since it got released in Europe. There's no reason for it to not come out in NA. Another easy to import title would probably be Kirby's Super Star Stacker.
My personal list of top three games that I'm waiting for:
Pilotwings 64 (N64) - I lLOVED the music for the hanglider stages.
Mischef Makers (N64)
Secret of Mana (SNES)

hah, I just got Startropics II in the mail last week, and have been playing it in the ole NES all weekend. I can't believe I didn't pick this up back when it came out (way to late in the NES's lifespan mind you). Cleopatra telling you to go get her a pizza before she will help you is hilarious. Also, being able to jump diagonal all messed with my brain for the first hour. Great time though.
Give me Earthbound Nintendo. Please sweet god, give me Earthbound. (SMRPG has already been bought!)
An update: I don't mean the OTHER games are shitty... I should clarify, I meant like its this one big game every week people are freaking out over ^^
Going nuts over a single game type situation ^^ the others are good but lets face it, if we hadn't had these few good weeks and those games had come up without the other game released with them we would still have a negative title to the thread ^^

So is there any reason to believe we're actually getting Earthbound? I'm pretty sure NOA has a vendetta against all things Mother.
1, 2, and 3) Interplay-announced games: Boogerman, Clayfighter, and Earthworm Jim.Mockingbird said:
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) Games that have been ESRB-rated or OFLC-rated for months, or in some cases over a year: Dragon Slayer, Earthbound, Final Soldier, Kirby's Dream Land 3, Phantasy Star IV, and Shining Force II.
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15) Games that were released in other regions and have no translation issues getting in the way: Gradius II, M.U.S.H.A., Mario's Super Picross, Vectorman, Warsong, and Wings of Wor.
16 and 17) Games in series with multiple other entries available on the service: Adventures of Lolo 3, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
And that's certainly not covering everything. It's unbelievable how quick some people in here turned around on VC and forgot that for months Nintendo was putting out next to nothing that was in demand even though it didn't need to be that way. (Not you, Mockingbird, but just referring to those who were in here complaining each week and are now rejoicing because of such a grand miracle as two good weeks. Personally, I'll keep complaining until Nintendo does quite a bit more for me, thanks. :/)
Donkey Kong Country 2, definitely. Then take your pick of Gunstar Heroes, Lords of Thunder, and Ys depending on which genre you like most.Htown said:

Dude, just concentrate on getting your credit card situation fixed before thinking about playing video games.
That game was never finished. There were 4 versions of it on the Satellaview, all with different tracks and one or two different characters. You also had to wait for specific times in real life to even start the game.comedy bomb said:

When I saw that there was a ton of coins coming the other direction so that it looked like Mario and Luigi was swimming through them (I'm assuming it was the same for you). Having just dropped a nice sized chuck of change on VC titles to fill up my fridge I thought Nintendo was doing a slight bit of humor there at my expense (*cue Iwata moneybin .gif*).

All our VC dreams are actually coming true?
Yesterday I bought 1000 more points to download Mario RPG. When I went to download it it failed. Said to try again.
I tried again later. Failed even quicker.
Store took forever to load each time.
Failed again. Error messages every time.
So I gave up. I paid my $8 and never got my game.
Today I try again. Now I can't even LOAD THE DAMN STORE!
Did it die? Did we kill the store?
I'm getting an Error Code 209600
I go to support.nintendo.com like it says and enter the number.
It says the number doesn't exist!
What the hell?
This is why they won't release Earthbound. It would probably incinerate the servers completely.

I cannot believe those motherfuckers got my hopes up with the picture of the lock-on just to say that "Hey guys S&K was rated but remember that lockon thing? haha that was really cool wasn't it? but it probably won't happen on VC lol"Andrex said:
