Roy? You won't see him on the VC anytime soon, since his only game was on the GBA.

Nintendo are probably going to release the FE1 remake in the US, though, so you'll get your Marth goodness there.

I don't need DK3. I have it for e-reader. But I do wish we could have the early Fire Emblems here. I wanna see Marth and Roy in their prime! Sadly, Ninty's probably not gonna put the work in to translate it. Might try SH2 and Samsho 2, though I'd need to try their prequels first. I might give Space Harrier a go too.

Ehhh... none of those sound particularly appealing to me. MAYBE Donkey Kong 3 and MAYBE Splatterhouse 2...... but thats about it. Think they'll decide to give us Vectorman in NA this month?

@ Tides of Chaos: Pj sure mixed them up, but what makes you think Bass did, too?

What I really hate is that Europe gets C64 games, Japan gets MSX games and we don't get anything that would be exclusive to EU or JP. I really wish Nintendo would release ZX Spectrum games as a US exclusive. Then I wouldn't have a reason to complain. Shame on you, Nintendo!

"Nice list, but I WAN'T Y'S BOOK I + II IN THE USA!!!!!"

Yup. That one is driving me absolutely up the wall--it may very well hold the record for the longest time spent on that freaking "coming soon" list, and Japan has had it for ages.

I get the vibe that Hudson just loves the VC, and suspect they're putting a bit of thought into the timing of releasing it.

I was hoping they'd release Neo Turf Masters over in the US a few weeks back when the U.S. Open was on. They could've sold a whole lot of that game then! But it's good to know it's coming out now! I've played it a lot on GameTap but I'd like one on the Wii with a better framerate and sound that isn't messed up.

Fire Emblem: Tharcia 776 is a verrrryyyyy nice game! It takes place in the "12 years later" section of Fire Emblem 4. It was released on the Super Famicom Disk System and you could download it to your disk via certain machines (ironically called Nintendo Power) in arcades and convenience stores in Japan. It's in my opinion one of the best in the series...now if I could only get a decent translation...

@ Bass X0 & Pj
I think you guys mixed up Donkey Kong 3 (NES) with Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES). The first one is an arcade port while the second is a Rare platformer.

If I can get Mario RPG, Samurai Showdown II, Super Fantasy Zone, and maybe Star Parodier, I'll be all set... for the moment.

Ooh, Samurai Shodown II! Hope we get it too. I´ve been waiting a long time for Shining Force II as well, so it´s about time. Kiki Kai Kai would be very cool, I love the sequel Pocky & Rocky :)

Shining Force 1 was great: But, why wasn't Jack Nicholson an unlock-able character? ;-) But really, all you have to do is replay the first fight 100 times and you're ready to beat the game with the levels you've built up! :)

Maybe they don't put more N64 games up because they know people can get most of them for under 10 bucks.

I agree Slangman, anthologys always give better value.

Would love to try Splatterhouse 2 and i might get Samurai Shodown II sometime when it arrives but i might give it a miss if an antology version is coming.

Glad the Darius games are finally coming, though i haven't heard much about them apart from them been shoot em ups.

@Junichi: I know the games made by rare might never see realease, one can dream though. But the others: Mario Party, Goemon (99 % certain release in my opinion), Ogre Battle 64, Star Wars games and Turok 1-2 I see no problems with.

@Pj: You haven't played Golden Eye, that's like never living. You owe it to yourself to buy an N64 and play it (preferably with 3 friends). Damn you Microsoft for buying rare!
