Since the Wii was announced, the obvious game most people want is....GoldenEye

But, with Rare owned by Microsoft and bla bla bla...it might never happen...

I'm sorry to say this but Goldeneye will not happen on the VC. There are too many people involved in the Licensing. To get the rights to it will require too many people taking their cut for it to profitable.

I thought Rare was spun off as a separate entity again. (Or maybe I'm thinking of Bungie.)

While we're on the topic of Rare, when will RC Pro AM and Rad Racer be made available for the VC?

An updated-graphics version of Goldeneye 64 was in the works for the XBLA but got hung up in licensing issues. I'm not sure what its status is.

They also need to release Snake Rattle 'n Roll for the NES. But again, Rare blah blah blah...

Puggsy for the Mega Drive, or the Lion King.

I can't choose between the two.

Secret Of Mana.

There was a post earlier this week on wiifanboy that Secret of Mana may be released in North America. That's on the top of my list, especially since the Final Fantasy SNES games have been re-re-released on other consoles, and Chrono Trigger is scheduled for the DS later this year.

Also on my list:
No Mercy (N64)
Bubsy series (GENESIS)
Saturday Night Slam Masters (SNES)

not on my list, but I'm predicting it'll be on many others:
Perfect Dark (N64) or Goldeneye (N64)

Good one, another nice one would be Mother (considering they had translated it, though, who knows if they still have it lying around).

I want to see Sonic & Knuckles, but only if it can be locked on to Sonic 3.

I also want Majora's Mask. I know the Wii isn't too terribly much more powerful than the GC, but it's probably enough to eliminate the occasional lag, crashing, and sound problems that the GC version had.

And Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

You should probably get Sonic Mega Collection. It's like ten bucks these days.

Lufia, first and foremost. My original cartridge's battery is pretty much broken as all of my savegames got deleted, so I'd like to have it on my Wii as well.
Also Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Final Fantasy V and VI.

SMRPG was at the top of my list. That spot is now taken by a bug-free version of Majora's Mask.

Not a particular game, but I'd love to see Gameboy games come to the VC some day. Possibly even for just $4.

They absolutely have to put Yoshi's Island on there. It's the game I've been waiting for ever since the VC was first announced. That and Majora's Mask.

Illusion of Gaia is still my number 1 game to see hit the VC. Nintendo published it, too, so there's no damn reason for it NOT to come out!

I'd also like to see ANY of the Rare games, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana and some SNES game called Sky Blazer.

Pilotwings 64 and Chrono Trigger (yes even with the DS one coming) have been on my list since day 1. Maybe Majora's Mask and Episode 1 Pod Racer too

I have to second the votes for Chrono Trigger. I'll be buying it on the DS, of course, but I'd much rather have it on the Virtual Console. I'll take what I can get, but it'd be a dream come true to see that (and the Final Fantasies) come to the VC. I'm also waiting (somewhat) patiently for Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64.

Bruce Lee, Fort Apocalypse, Montezuma, Karateka and Conan... all for the C64 (just because there are no Atari 8-bit games on VC).

Other than that, Battletoads and Nintendo Wold Cup for NES, and Majora's Mask for N64.

Forgot Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge...and I guess I should have left Super Mario RPG off the list :)
A port of Castlevania SOTN would be cool for Wii Ware.

I would love to see Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger, but with the latter being released for the DS, I doubt that will happen.

Also Mike Tyson's Punch Out (not Mr. Dream) for NES and Zombies Ate My Neighbors for SNES.

It would also be nice to have some of the Mega Man games. 2 and 3 are good and the first few of the X-series are fun too.

Ys I & II was my big one, so now that I'm satisfied, I left without a dream. Although, there are a couple that I think would be cool:

Tecmo Super Bowl
Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Dodge Ball (NES)

NES:
Faxanadu (Best NES music evahhh!)
Conquest of the Crystal Palace

SNES:
Yoshi's Island (Already have it on GBA, but if this comes out, I'd get it along with SMW1)

N64:
Majora's Mask (Already have it on Collector's Edition, but this would be an update-able version)
DK64 (Rare blah blah blah. This is becoming a trend.)

Mario Party 1-3 (This would complete my collection)

Sega Genesis:
nothing
