So i have this Wii now, and it rocks and all, but so far a lot of the VC games I'm clueless about. (Ice Climber, Space Harrier, for example). Rather than pay and download everything, I'd love some feedback on what games you have experience with...

So, what do people here recommend? If you like a VC game, can you go into a little detail about why the game is so great and what it is about?

Thanks,

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

It's one of the greatest games of all time. Download it.

My picks:

1. Mario 64
2. Super Mario World

& for the future hopefully Yoshi's Island.

I cannot wait for Double Dribble and Dragon Warrior personally.

That brings back memories. . . I remember when Dragon Warrior came out, I got it free with a Nintendo Power subscription. I'm curious. . . those of you that have a widescreen tv, are the VC games scaled, or do they have the black bars on the side ?

Is there a list of games available on the VC anywhere ?

So far i've got...

1.Sonic (Genesis)
2. Super mario Brothers (NES)

going to get....
Super Mario World
Donkey Kong Country

I'd like to see:
-the original Contra
-one of those TMNT side scrolling co-op games

It's a really cool service. a little pricey, but great.

Thanks Rickey. I read the list of games, and now I want a Wii . . . well that, and Tiger Woods '07

Too bad they're sold out everywhere, unlike that PS3. . .

Europe got Ocarina of Time today... Guess America will follow on monday. Too bad I have it already on the WW bonus disc. Otherwise 1000 Wii points is not too shabby.

We got Kid Icarus(NES) and OOT(N64) today in Oz.

Ice Climber is pretty fun, about 4 of us were playing it a ton yesterday. I had it back in the 80s and it was one of my favorite games! You can play it here: vNES

But I recommend it on the Wii.

I also got Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World, I wound up getting the Classic Controller for that since the Game Cube one is setup too differently to play it properly.

Both of these are available via Xbox Live and they are all that and a bag of chips.

I've got Super Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of Time. Both good games, I've never had any Nintendo system before the Wii so this is all new to me, I am playing Zelda Twilight Princess at the moment though, and was surprised just how similar in gameplay Ocarina is!!

Z:OoT and Super Mario 64 are must haves. 2 of the greatest games of all time.

Z:ALttP is awesome too, I would higly recommend that one too.
