XxNat_Gaming_OmegaxX

1. Earthbound (of course) <- this one is the one i really really want 2. MOTHER (would be great) 3. Final Fantasy 4 4. The Legend Of Zelda. Majora's Mask 5. Bomberman heros

Alas, poor Yorick; I knew him. In America.

1. EarthBound (SNES) 2. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (N64) 3. Kirby Super Star (SNES) 4. Snowboard Kids (N64) 5. Uniracers (SNES)

Holy cow, someone else actually put Snowboard Kids on their list. Awesome.

Also good to see so much Mystical Ninja love here. I just finished replaying it again yesterday.

This is what I wrote lol;

Here are my top five games that should be on the VC.

1. Earthbound 2. Earthbound 3. Earthbound 4. Earthbound 5. Earthbound

Crazy Weavile

EarthBound The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Super Mario RPG Super Mario Kart Zero Wing (I actually do want it. Once you get over the crappy script, it's not bad.)

1.) EarthBound (SNES) 2.) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES) 3.) Star Fox (SNES) 4.) Super Smash Brothers (N64) 5.) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)

Don't ask why I want Star Fox over SSB.

KingMike

Personally, I think Majora's Mask and any remotely-popular Mario games are kind of a wasted vote since I'm sure they'll show up anyways. But that's just my opinion.

1) EarthBound (SNES) 2) Mother (NES) 3) Terranigma (SNES) 4) EVO (SNES) 5) Lufia II (SNES)

I'm just wondering... Are they going to read all of these emails? Because they should be expecting quite a few thousand, if not hundreds of thousands. The only seemingly plausible solution is to get a computer program to read all the emails, but then how does a program account for those who spelled the game wrong, or named a game differently (such as Star Fox vs. StarFox or Super Mario RPG vs. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)?

Hiroshi

That's a good point, but they may have a handful of people on staff who can handle it. I'm not sure how it would work, really. I hope they don't like... have a program/macro or whatever to crunch it through and automatically pick out any recognized names to tally a list. Because as you say, it may miss a lot of entries due to spelling and name differences.

5. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (N64)

Drat, I knew I was forgetting something!

Don't forget Goemon's Great Adventure! It's 2-player (2.5D) (4 players if you know the cheat code), and it's a blast. You can even get 2-player mech battles when you fight the bosses.

My cousin and I stayed up for 5 days straight trying to beat that game, and we slept through ALL of Easter Sunday that year. :lol:

1. Earthbound 2. Earthbound (NES) 3. Super Mario RPG 4. Goemon's Great Adventure 5. Chrono Trigger ( I want it too... if only because it would look nicer on a Wii, than it would on my original SNES cart).

For the ones that are sending Earthbound Zero as one of them, use "Mother" or "Mother (1)" Since Earthbound Zero is an fan name.

I has super happy after send it... but later i noticed that i forgot Final Fantasy 6 (3 in SNES, USA)

D'OH!

Ever try to post something, then when you go to post it, you just seizure all over your keyboard and end up sounding like an idiot?
My blog for game reviews and randomness!

1)Earthbound/Mother 2 (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) 2)Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) 3)Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Nintendo 64) 4)Donkey Kong 64 (Nintendo 64) 5)Chrono Trigger (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)

Snowboard Kids is awesome. Who needs Mario Kart?

I have the hard to get a hand on JPN only Snobow Kids + for PS sitting under my Mother 3 box here on my desk, haha!

I voted for:

1. EarthBound (SNES) 2. MOTHER (NES) 3. Princess Tomato (NES) 4. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (N64) 5. Harvest Moon 64 (N64)

good job everyone, keep the earthbound requests coming. i know im not a staff member but it doesn't hurt for me to encourage a great title on vc;)

this game should also attract old school dragon warrior fans, am i correct?

anyway... GO EARTHBOUND!

Edrees

I'm not sure about the Dragon Warrior thing. I think that entire series is pretty horrible yet I'm obsessed with Mother games.

evolutionrevolution

My list is as follows

1. Earthbound 2. Chrono Trigger 3. Mario RPG 4. Super Smash Bros. (N64) 5. Metal Gear

Heh, Smash Bros for N64 is just for kicks, but if it does come to VC ill play it when i dont feel like playing Brawl.

Itoi made the game inspired by Dragon Warrior. It uses almost the exact same system for leveling and battles. The content is different...all I'm saying is that without Dragon Warrior the Mother series would never have existed.

Compared to other RPGs at the time, Dragon Warrior was so much more streamlined and funner to play. It's such a huge jump from the complex, dungeon-crawler D&D games that dominated the genre.

Ah, definitely spread this to my friends and sent two emails myself. I tried not to include too many major titles that might win over EB, but these are my real picks:

1. Earthbound 2. Super Mario RPG 3. Tetris Attack 4. Mother (assuming it's translated) 5. Zelda: Majora's Mask

1. Mother (NES) 2. EarthBound (SNES) 3. Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu (SNES) 4. Super Smash Bros (N64) 5. Chrono Trigger (SNES)

I sort of wish I could have also said "Third party N64 games". 'Cause right now they have none, they're all first party. What's up with that?

Hey, do you do Judo?
I do Judo!

1. Earthbound 2. Super Mario RPG 3. Snowboard Kids 4. Mother 5. Harvest Moon 64

I’m currently open for commissions. Come on by and take a look!

LakiDash

5. Donkey Kong 64 (Nintendo 64) 4. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Nintendo 64) 3. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES) 2. River City Ransom (NES) 1. Earthbound (SNES)

Though looking back, I totally should have voted for Harvest Moon 64. Guess I was just thinking of games I don't own currently (sans EB)

Riddle me this: What is everyone in the world doing at the same time?

Marktheshark

1. Earthbound (SNES) 2. Mischief Makers (N64) 3. Mcdonald's Adventure in Treasureland (Genesis) 4. Mega Man & Bass (Import, Super Famicom) 5. Superman 64 (N64)

"Hello. My name is Chrisanthy Kohn. I'm twenty years old, and I've had a Nintendo console in my house since I was five. Nintendo games have inspired me to do my best in every possible event in life, so when I saw this, I thought "So here's what I can do to show people what I like!"

So here it is. My top five picks for Virtual Console are as follows:

1) Earthbound (SNES) 2) Ogre Battle 64 (Nintendo 64) 3) Secret of Mana (SNES) 4) Secret of Evermore (SNES) 5) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Nintendo 64).

I know there may be copyright issues, especially for Square Enix's games. However, these are the games that have really stuck with me through my life. Thank you for letting us speak out and show what we as a community want to keep playing.

Please take these five meager games into consideration for Virtual Console, whether or not this is a simple poll.

Sincerely: Chrisanthy Kohn"

snerk I didn't bother to mention that those were the games that stuck with me that weren't remade about seventeen different times. (although Majora's Mask was given in a promo disk for Game Cube at one time, wasn't it?)

But yeah. Only reason that I didn't put most old FFs up (talking about FF1 and 3, not 4 or 6) was because they've already been remade like seven billion times.

So yeah. Ogre Battle would have topped the list if I didn't adore EB more. =D

More Ogre Battle love FTW!!

“Duster, Duster, I need your doorknob.”

“HEY! GET OUT OF OUR PRIVACY!”

Yawn

Earthbound and Mother were definitely at the top of my list. Not sure about the last one, but the remaining two are apparently to be released soon.

If that list is right.... Gets giddy about Shining Force 2

Prediction: Majora's Mask is going to get 1st place.

Theory: Giygas has a fetish.
