Order of release too. Funny huh? Smilie

Still, I think Paper Mario should be #1 :3

I hate that SM64 is at the top because it means Nintendo will probably continue to milk it, whether they license it for XBL Arcade (lol) or make it a PC game. I guess we're never gonna get rid of "the 2nd best game ever", are we Smilie

But yeah, that's cool. A shame there aren't any 3rd party N64 games there yet.

These people got great taste. But more then these there are almost no other N64 titles gone Virtual.
Majora's Mask that I know, but are there others? F-Zero? I bought it for my real N64 for a couple of bucks. It's awfully washed-out-colorful. *lol*

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

& there probably won't be for a long time. They're being released really slowly.

&, for the record, SM64 is the 8th best game of all time. The honour of 2nd place goes to Soul Calibur Smilie

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot about F-Zero X. That was out before Paper Mario wasn't it? I guess Paper Mario is doing better than something.

That's a lot of N64 games...

I was wondering, do these VC games count as real sales? Because that would really boost the numbers.

So what other N64 games would you want to see on the VC? So far we've only had Nintendo-published ones. I'd love the likes of ISS '98, Mystical Ninja ft Goemon, Hybrid Heaven (yeah, I must be the only one to like it!) and Resident Evil 2...to name just a few.

Sin & Punishment is a must as well, going back to Nintendo-published ones, as well as Excitebike 64.

I'd like Super Smash Bros & Majora's Mask mainly. They'll probably be the only 2 I'll buy. I can't really think of any others I might want now.

Oh wait, Mario Party, the original. So many memories :3

I really don't mind Nintendo "milking" SM64 because I've never played, touched or even seen an N64 in real life. (Never was a Nintendo fan until I came across a Gamecube kiosk with Super Mario Sunshine in Toys'R'Us while shopping for my niece.)

SM64 was new for me on the DS, apart from some emulator experiments that didn't sell me on it and made me think it played like a lousy PC shareware game. Being able to play it with better controls on the VC might be a load of old tosh for you guys, but it's a breath of fresh air for me.

Can't say the same for OoT because I played it on the Gamecube. But I still might buy it again on the VC someday because I never actually finished it. And I never even started Majora's Mask. So as far as I'm concerned, bring it on.
