Well I for one would like to see the Master System, underrated system, although the games are so easy to come by theres probably no point.

I'm still slightly concerned though that not all the systems are listed on Nintendo of Europe's website, I hope that we get the full service.

I want that game that someone on here uses as a sig. It is those three different coloured knights on that side scrolling adventure thing. They all have their own powers. What is it called and who uses it on here as their sig and picture???

Does anyone know if they are bringing it to the virtual console because I would buy it??

I would also kill mame and disfigure anyone in order to get a game called Base Jumpers on to the Wii virtual console:

It is amazing. Just one of the most fun multiplayer games I have ever played. So funny. Does anyone know this game???

If anyone can help me with these two then reply to this and send me a message!!!! Smilie

Why is the writing on this massive. I haven't put any text size commands in.

What I would like to see is an arcade emulator such as MAME added with new channel called the virtual arcade which would open it up to a another 8000 or so classic arcade titles.

ALong with that a WII highscore table which logs say the top 100 highscores from all the vc and va games.

It would make it the console dreams are made of Smilie

Err...what games came out on this?

What games came out on what? If it's the C64 you're talking about, visit lemon64.com for all the info you'll ever need. I think it has some Amiga details (or at least some Amiga links) too.

C64/Spectrum/Amiga was the most inventive time for computer games ever. That does mean that there's a lot of games that make no sense, are impossibly difficult, or just plain crap (that's what comes of no licensing), but there were some bona fide classics, which still rank amongst my favourite games ever.

We'd all like to see Castle Crashers, but it's not even out yet... Considering the fact that Alien Hominid was initially released on the Gamecube (In America at least -_-*) I'm sure we'll see a VC release ^^

In response to Tiamat if your asking about MAME your talking about near every arcade machine released up til 2000 or so.

Including the likes of DigDug Mr Do Tekken all the clasics and then some.

The exact arcade roms I may add btw if you have a decent spec computer you can download it and the roms play it on your pc.
