your Wiish list

[Emerald Rocker]

What game are you most fervently wishing to appear on the Virtual Console, that you know never will?

For me, it would have to be Dracula X.  That game RULES and I think it would appeal to a lot of modern gamers.  Unfortunately, since it's a CD game, and an import CD game at that, I know we'll never see it.  Perhaps it'll appear on Xbox Live Arcade?  They're getting SOTN, after all.

What are YOU futilely hoping to see?

[Keranu]

You aren't the only one wanting Dracula X for the VC .

For me, I'd like to see any Japanese, third-party, or CD-ROM game come out. Not that I am interested in purchasing any, but I think people would greatly appreciate these and would be nice formats to introduce to new gamers.

I have hope Dracula X will be released some day .

[GUTS]

I'd MUCH rather see Dracula X on Xbox Live than the VC since the VC's Turbo emulation is so shitty, and if it was on Live they would add some nice features.

[Keranu]

Turbo's emulation on VC isn't what I would call "shitty", not by a long run. They screwed up with Military Madness for sure, but I haven't heard any complaints about the emulation of the other games besides Bomberman '93 being a little blurry. Honestly I think there's a better chance of Dracula X showing up on the Virtual Console than X-Box Live.

The Turbo/PCE games I'd like to see on VC are the same games I would have like to have seen on the system back in the day.  If somehow some company was able to put previously unreleased games like PCE Marble Madness, Off The Wall, or SGX Strider , etc, then I'd be the first in line.  As for games that were already released back in the day... it doesn't matter to me when they get put on VC.

I would like to see Tongueman's Logic and GrandTheftendo (or however it's spelled) on VC though.  That would be awesome.

[Black Tiger]

I wouldn't be much more excited to see Drac X on Wii than many other PCE CD games, unless there was some new content.

The ultimate should but never will would be an english translated Kabukiden. But it's never going to happen on Wii. 

[Dark Fact]

Count me in for Dracula X.  In addition, I want to see Valis I and IV translated and brought over, the RPG classic Emerald Dragon, Cotton 1 and 2, Sapphire, and any other game with anime FMVs.

Agreed, I would be excited just to see a CD game come out for the VC. Heck, I'm going to be excited if a Japanese or even a third party game comes out for it. Personally, I think all of this is going to happen, but it's all going to build up very slowly. First Hudson is going to be able to bring out a third party game, then eventually a non-heavy Japanese game, and then finally a CD game.

The ultimate should but never will would be an english translated Kabukiden. But it's never going to happen on Wii. 

I'd pay the original retail price of Kabuki Den if it was ever translated for the VC, maybe more. Unfortunately this probably won't happen on the Wii or anything else . We can only hope for a fan translation someday!

There will be no CD games. You all know it. Be more negative.

Being negative will get you no where in life.

[Necromancer]

Being negative will get you no where in life.

True, but you're never disappointed if you always expect the worst.  I'd like to see something Japanese get translated and released on VC.  Kabuki Den, Cosmic Fantasy series, Drac X, or Sapphire would be great.  I'll take what I can get and be grateful.

[Keranu]

True, but you're never disappointed if you always expect the worst.

But why would you want to live in a plain, vanilla lifestyle like that ?

[Black Tiger]

I'd rather see something substantial like an RPG get translated into english before an arcadey action/shooter where no reading is required and 95% of the meagre text is already english.

[Necromancer]

Good point Keranu - that's why I prefer the maxim 'hope for the best but prepare for the worst'.  That covers both sides of the tracks.

Agreed, but I'd take a untranslated shmup or action game if it isn't worth the expense to translate an RPG.  No doubt they would sell much better on VC than old school RPGs.

I would too of course, but just seeing any translation would be nice since it shows potential of heavy Japanese games being translated.

Perfect, you know how to live then.
