Fold it into GGC. You know you want to.

Or at least make it a sub-forum within GGC.

Short of Nintendo taking the unprecedented step of fully-localising old Fire Emblem games and releasing them for £6 on Virtual Console, there really isn't a great deal left that would excite me.

I would probably buy:

- Yoshi's Island
- Pilotwings 64
- Ogre Battle 64
- Terranigma
- Bahamut Lagoon

... given the chance.

I don't think so. Yoshi's Story is, I think.

Yeah I know, I have that.

I thought the whole NES/SNES super Mario canon would be on the VC by now... Goes to show how little I know...

It'd be worthwhile to get Bahamut Lagoon and Rudora no Hihou on the Virtual Console, I think, but I'm concerned they wouldn't perform so well, given that few people in the west have had a chance to get acquainted with them.

I'd like Pilotwings 64 on the Virtual Console; I've recently had a chance to play it, and it's enormous fun. One of the games I regret not getting for the N64 in its prime.
