Great article Corbie. I'm looking forward to getting into the RPG genre more, and what better way than with the games that started it?

I'm most interested in Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG and any of the Final Fantasys, even though they're unlikely with Square Enix' relative lack of VC support. An RPG that's not on your list, Earthbound, is one that I've heard much praise for too.

nice article.
i want most of these.
especially Super Mario RPG, Majora's Mask, and Chrono Trigger.

Lack of Earthbound disappoints.

I'm surprised to see Majora's Mask on the list (because good as it is, it's not an rpg), and just as surprised to see Earthbound neglected.

With the C64's appearance on Virtual Console, we've now got the possibility of some classic CRPGs appearing. I'd happily drop Ys for Wasteland, for example. And it'd be nice to play a proper Ultima rather than the compromised NES and (slightly less so) Master System ports of IV.

Good article!

The day Soul Blazer gets OFLC/ESRB rated for an upcoming release is the day I start a crusade to get every single person to buy all three games in the trilogy. They're that good.

Personally I find Earthbound to be terribly overrated...

(runs for cover)

@Drake - Soul Blazer/Blader is a masterpiece. I soldiered through the Japanese version waaaaay back in the day. Wonderful game.

I didn't really like Gaia/Time that much but Terranigma is great also.

Bad Damo, bad! Apologize to Earthbound and worship it blindly like everybody else.

Note to VC:R review team: Don't let Damo do a review of Earthbound should it ever appear on the VC!

I would love to see Legacy of the Wizard on the VC. If I'm not mistaken, that game was published by Broderbund, and Tozai released Spelunker on the VC, which was also published by Broderbund back in the day. So hopefully this means that LotW has a chance!

Dazza: No, that one is all yours!

Thanks a lot for mentioning Terranigma. Way more people need to know about this gem. It's my favorite SNES-game which is saying quite something considering the tons of great games for it.

legacy of the wizard, majoras and chrono trigger are all must haves!
i still have the original legacy of the wizard cartridge

Where's Crystalis???!!!

Agree with Drake. Soulblazer is teh awezomez.

i wasn't a big fan of Earthbound either.

Yeah...im kinda disappointed that EB isn't up there...and what about Secret of Mana? I know, im probably just as bad as every other EarthBound fanboy out there, but I really think its a great game.

Earthbound's good, but Mother 3 is the pinnacle of the series.

DRAGON WARRIOR! Ooh, I had forgotten that one! I hope that gets out there sooner than later.

More EarthBound is needed, but your top 2 are perfect.

I still have my original cartridge of Lufia II

That game ROCKS

Pretty good list - Secret of Mana and Earthbound are missing from your list though (rearranges Dragon Warrior and Legacy of the Wizard to 11 and 12).

First of all, I think you've put together a pretty good list, but if you judged Dragon Warrior by the same criteria as Earthbound, I don't think it would have made your list either.

1) The combat system in Earthbound is practically identical in Dragon Warrior, but you don't have to deal with random battles in Earthbound.

2) The graphics in Earthbound may have been considered "average," but Dragon Warrior also had average graphics for its time, and honestly, Earthbound's visuals are a real improvement over Dragon Warrior.

3) Not that this is part of the criteria you mentioned in comment 15, but Dragon Warrior's story is about as cliche' as you can get; although Earthbound followed a common, save-the-world premise, it doesn't suffer from lack of originality.

Also, I've never played Legacy of the Wizard for the NES: I'll have to check it out.

Just like to point out that the screen shot you showed of Dragon Warrior is, in fact, Dragon Quest.

Yes, I'm that picky. Oh, and I suppose I should let the fact that you called FFVI slide since we are talking about the SNES release, but it's still irritating to see that game called III, just a pet peeve you see.

And I agree with Indigo's comment on how DQ made your list, but Earthbound didn't. You do realize that EB uses the same battle system as DQ, yes?

yeah, crystalis is prob the best action rpg i've ever played but a vc release means little to me seeing as i've beaten it a few times in the past... for me, the top rpg/action adventure wish list would look as follows:

action/Adventure

#1) Gargoyle's Quest 2 (nes)
#2) Golden Axe Warrior (sms)
#3) Terranigma (Snes)
#4) Soul Blazer (Snes)
#5) Faxanadu (nes)

RPGs

#1) Super Mario RPG (snes)
#2) Lufia 2 (snes)
#3) Final Fantasy 5 (sfc)
#4) Dragon Quest 5 (sfc)
#5) Dragon Quest 6 (sfc)

and yes, Illusion of Gaia was only alright even back when it came out... i'd hate to see how the game holds up today

I don't want to start a debate whether the Zelda Series should be considered RPG or not. I would like to point out though, that Majora's Mask is the only 3D Zelda game that even from Nintendo wasn't called an "Action Adventure" like the rest but an "Action RPG". I guess due to the many characters and their stories in the game and the heavy interaction with them, on which the game was based on.
I think the list ought to be a "top 20 RPGs" so, many other great games could show up in it. Maybe even some "Japan exclusives" too? Even though the trouble translating such games makes it almost impossible, I would still like to see games like Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean, Treasure Hunters G (already on VC in Japan), Wonder Project J and so on on the Virtual Console...

Yup, no objections anywhere to your list! Also, welcome Corbie! =)

One thing though...unless we get Gameboy/Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance games on the Virtual Console, Majora's Mask will be the last Zelda. If it's going to be last, wouldn't we expect Nintendo to hold it out a while? Hmmm...

and yeah, i always found chrono trigger to be overrated... i mean, i got the thing the day it hit stores back in the day and i had already played through the 3 snes final fantasy games (2 (4), 3 (6) and mystic quest). though CT looked amazing at the time and played smoothly, i still found it kinda lacking the in depth that other rpgs had at the time (FF3/6 and Phantasy Star 4).

After reading the list, and being reminded by Damo; it is rather surprising the list does NOT have Earthbound, but I could careless about getting it anyway although I know a lot of people are drooling for it (just as much as everyone is drooling for a harddrive >.>).

Personally, only BIGGIE one I am looking forward to is #1.

PS: Repeat after me, "Legend of Zelda is NOT A RPG, it's AN ADVENTURER."

Zalda isn't an RPG, Earthbound deserved its spot anyway.

Hard drive ? why ?
I would be happy enough to run them from my memory card as the files are tied to one system meaning you would only play them on one system .
2gb is pleanty as compared to whats in the Wii .I even heard only 300mb only open rest is only for the Wii os itself .
And if Nintendo is worryed about slow memory cards it can allways be buffered into the Wiis ram meaning it be leaving the N64 titles the only one to be the ones to be left on the system memory as 128mb can't fit into 88mb of ram .
As for Final Fantasy I to VI i got the GBA/DS remakes even imported copys of V & VI .

Awww, no Pokemon?

I liked Illusion of Time. At the time it was released. I haven't played it many years so I don't know if I'd still like it now although I do have fond memories of it still.

Even just on a technical level, stuff like not forcing you into random encounters with underpowered enemies, Earthbound stands head and shoulders over a lot of its competition, but it's the personality and writing that makes earthbound so enjoyable for me. If you want to get a band of warriors and mages and save the world from the ultimate evil, there's hundreds of different games that provide that, but Earthbound manages to be unique, genuinely funny and interesting. I would watch Earthbound if it was a show or a movie, and apart from FF III/VI and VII, there's not many of these games, as much as I enjoy them, that I'd say that for. And Advent Children sucked balls.

Dammit people, stop calling it FF3. The SNES game is called FF6.

Also, the original Dragon Warrior is dull as all hell. Let's get some of it's excellent sequels instead.

" one of the original great rpgs"

Eh, it's from 1986 (and wasn't released in the US until 1989). Ultima IV and Wizardry III were out at the time (and both series had their 5th installment released before DW reached US shores), Dragon Quest was horribly archaic compared to these.

I love the DQ series, don't get me wrong, but the original game is pretty blah.

As for FF6, the game has been released 8 times (for the SNES, PSX and GBA in Japan, US and Europe, with the exception of a SNES release in Europe) so far, and 7 out of these 8 times it has been called FF6. It was called FF3 once in a single region, which has later recieved a completely different game also titled FF3.

remove number 10 add Final fantasy II... or IV however you want to call it somewhere and I would be happy...

Not much into Earthbound? I understand. If you're not into being a power trip with somewhat lesser grinding or the quirky atmosphere I see what you mean. The game is still great though- and still above Dragon Quest. Sure it came out first, but the question is NOW and NOW EB is probably the better game. Now if you were talking about DQ3...drools

Oh, and I'd support any move that cut the price of Earthbound and Chrono Trigger on Ebay. Add me to the Chrono bus!

Uh, you're missing Shining Force II.

@Corbie: How can you say you were trying to stick to games that were more likely to come to VC and not be rehashed by Square down the line when your list includes FFIII/VI? I'll tell you right now that there is a 0% chance of that game ever hitting the VC. Not when Squenix can keep making such excellent remakes and charging full price for them. The very thought that that game could ever reach VC is completely absurd!

Also, anyone who doesn't like Earthbound has no sense of humor, and would be better off just playing Ben Stein: The RPG for the rest of his life.

i always thought chrono trigger was overrated. i missed it's original release, but i played it on an SNES emulator for a solid 4-6 hours, and never went back to it. i'd probably give it a second chance if it ever hit VC, as i did kinda like chrono cross on PS1.

lufia 2 deserves top spot, imo, and is hands down the most underrated RPG of all time. nobody but the hardest of the hardcore have ever heard of it! great game.

@ stuffgamer1

i didn't find earthbound to be particularly humorous, (except for those mr. saturns, lmao!) but i loved it because it was so unique and different from the common "swords and sorcery" type thing RPGs are known for. still have the orignal SNES cart! : D

Where is EARTHBOUND...?

Seriously, Dragon Quest 1? I own it, and it is by far the dullest NES game I've played.

Majora's Mask > All other games on this list combined

for one thing, Majoras mask is not an video game RPG, if you do not earn experience and level up as part of a basic gameplay, its not an rpg, not even an action rpg, at least in the sense of being a video game rpg (not absoloutly essential for real role-playing mind you). also it really is one of the lesser Zeldas, and im not the only one who thinks that.

also i am in the US too, and its FF6 to me, not 3. i may have called it 3 once, but i have seen the error of younger ways.

@Zinjak: By your definition of an RPG, games like FFII and Chrono Cross don't even make the cut because they don't have experience levels. This is the true embodiment of the RPG/not RPG argument, although I do agree that calling Zelda an RPG is a huge stretch (though a true Zelda RPG would be so awesome!).

@Corbie: I kinda see what you mean about Earthbound can be dull, but definitely not as much as Evermore (I'm not dissing that game either, because I like it too)! Earthbound (and, indeed SNES RPG's in general) just means more to me than Dragon Warrior ever could because they're what I grew up with (I'm 19, and a life-long gamer). I have played the GBC version of Dragon Warrior, and while it was okay, it was mostly too short and boring for me. In the end, we all have different tastes in old games, and we all particularly have a few games we can't stand to hear spoken of with anything less than total reverence as gods among games. And I agree with your FFIII/VI mentality, I just type it this way to avoid arguments and/or confusion. After all, IF it somehow hit the VC, it would be labeled 3.

Any way you look at it, this kind of list exists almost solely to start arguments about what should have been added or removed. That's why such a variety of games exist in the first place. And while I'd love Lufia II on VC, I'm not sure how likely a lot of this list is to ever appear on VC (although Lufia II holds hope as Natusume has released one VC game already: Harvest Moon). Let's all just hope for what we want most and let others do the same. If we're lucky, one sixteenth of our wishes may actually come true!

I will continue to advocate for Crystalis (NES) to be released on the VC. I loved its gameplay and music. Its published by SNK so I don't understand the what's keeping it from being released.
Lunar Silver Star and Lunar 2 Eternal Blue (Sega CD) were also fantastic tradtional RPGs with a great story, character development, and soundtrack. The script was hillarious on the Sega CD, but some of the funnier lines said by the characters were unfortunately changed in the Playstation re-releases.
I'd also love to see Ultima 3: Exodus (NES) released on the VC only b/c i could never beat the game.
Finally, while I know we won't be seeing any SquareSoft/Enix releases, I still have to praise Secret of Mana (SNES) as being one of the best rpg's ever and should definately be in this list's top 3.
Here's to wishing for some Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior games!

@Damo -
I sure hope you are still ducking for cover, because I just read your comment and Earthbound was the first game that popped into my head before i even clicked on the headline.

aside from that, great list.

The Lufia games never got their due. They were well written, and the second had beautiful graphics on par with any rpg released stateside on the snes. Lufia II also had beautiful and haunting music.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to plop my butt down with my SNES and play it right now. Shame it probably won't see a VC release (for those who haven't played either, and don't have any other access to them)

@ CuzinMike - Definately pulling for Crystalis. LOVE that game! And the Lunar games of course. But I'm pulling for the underdog!

What about Secret of Mana? I have never played it but it looks really similar to Chrono Trigger (same sprites)

People, people. This is one person's personal opinion of what he thinks should go onto the Virtual Console. If you have a problem, get over it, or write your own Top 10. (Though, to be fair, there'd be less of an issue if the article was instead called "Top 10 RPGs I'd Like To See On The Virtual Console".)

Anyway, I am hopeful on a Chrono Trigger release, myself. I have the version that released on PS1 (with IMO the best version of Final Fantasy IV released to date, though we'll see what happens with the upcoming DS release), but while it has some nice, if choppy, animé cutscenes, it also has horrible load times, and I want to play the version with the original not-likely-to-make-the-ending-out-of-sync quick load times. I can just look on Youtube for the cutscenes any time.

Lufia II and Earthbound are two games I've never played though they were both highly recommended to me. I've been unable to find a cheap copy of either, so a VC release of each would be great news for me.

This is a great list
But i would replace Legacy of the Wizard with Secret of mana and Zelda:MM (Its not an RPG) for Earthbound. That would make it perfect

@ Serpent -
dude, zelda MM is an rpg...how can u argue that it isnt?
the zelda series has always been rpg = upgrading your role-played character (Link) by moving through an open world, gaining upgrades in order to advance. that basically defines rpg. sorry, bud

@ arobo21: By that logic, Blaster Master is an RPG too.

I really want Super Mario RPG to be released on the Virtual Console. I never really got to play it since it got released so late in the SNES life. I only rented it once and then sold off my SNES >=O!

Even though I got most of these games on the list, I would probably get them again.

Hell I got 3 copies of Chrono Trigger. Two with boxes, and inserts, and one just the cart.

Damo, I'll join you behind cover, as I tend to think that Super Mario RPG is hugely overrated!

arobo21, your definition of the rpg would also include Metroid and Lords of Thunder ! There are arguments for counting the Zelda series as rpgs, but the problem is that you have to loosen the definition so much that it becomes meaningless.

Glad to see that PS1 made it to the list. With PS2 on the VC already and PS3 on the way, I'm hoping for PS1 really soon. It was my first jap-RPG and the memories just wont go aways. Long live Alis!

Majora's Mask should be number 1! Hurry up and release it Nintendo...

I always think of Zelda games as RPG-lite because they are so accessible to the non-RPGer. This is the only type of RPGs I really enjoy playing stuff like LTTP over hardcore RPGs because of my woeful attention span

i want Zelda: MM on the VC, but I heard somewhere that Nintendo isn't putting expansion pack games on the VC which unfortunately includes Zelda: MM

I wouldn't call it a true RPG its more an RPGesque game

I´m rooting for Earthbound as well. I´ve only played Earthbound Zero, but I liked what I saw.

When it comes to genre definitions, it´s rather pointless. You could say "Zelda is not an adventure game, Kings Quest is an adventure game" because that´s what point and click were called way back. There is a greyzone between textbased RPG.s and actionoriented. I find little reason to exclude a good game from a personal favourites list just because of vague genre definitions.

And thanks for mentioning Legacy of the Wizard, that´s an RPG I´ve never heared of.

I just bought Illusion of Gaia, but its battery is dead Now I have to cut it out with an exacto knife and duck tape a new one in

As stated by Kevin, I would also like to see some Ultima games for the C64, possibly Ultima VI ( I know it's unlikely to happen, but can you imagine that game without the constant disk swapping on the VC and IR support? A Dream! ).
And wether it's an Rpg or not....give us Majora's Mask!!!!

Where the heck is Seiken Densetsu 3? .____.

Umm, why the h-e-double hockey sticks isn't Earthbound on this list? Not only is it a highly requested RPG but probably one of the most sought after VC titles, period. Personally I never really got into the game but I know plenty of people salavating at the thought of playing through this again. Personally I just want Super Mario RPG more than anything right now.

While I don't argue the greatness of any of these fine role playing games, your list has a lot of games that have already been re-released in one form or another within the past 5 or 6 years. I think the VC should deliver some games that we haven't gotten within that time frame. We don't need Majora's Mask or another FF. Games like Y's, Chrono Trigger and Dragon Warrior sure. Secret of Mana plus it's ever so desired and unreleased in the western world sequel, a definite. I mean, Nintendo has my money and they don't even know it.

If they ever release them, I'll definitely put money down for Chrono Trigger, FF III, and Super Mario RPG.

Luckily, I still have Majora's Mask for the N64.

I thought I read somewhere that square is never gonna release CT on the VC, EVER.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.......... Shining force2? Best megadrive RPG ever?

"Glad to see that PS1 made it to the list. With PS2 on the VC already and PS3 on the way, I'm hoping for PS1 really soon."

Cool, I for one can't wait to play Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 on the VC. This is great news!! Oh wait......Phantasy Star....................

I would take Blaster Master. And Dragon Warrior III.

Where the heck is Seiken Densetsu 3? .___.
Not translated. Not going to be translated. Impossible to play untranslated.

And what about Shadowrun (SNES)?

One of my favorite RPGs (if not one of my favorite games) on the SNES. Me and my friends played it for months.

I want Ogre Battle 64!!!

lufia II # 5. final fantasy III # 4. mario rpg # 3. earthbound # 2. and chrono trigger # 1 and the way it goes

what no love for wasteland????

Come on people this is the greatest rpg made, it ate up so man y of my days as a teen it was great. No rpg list should be created without it being near the top.

@ Adamant -
Blaster Master is a side scroller. yes u need upgrades to advance, but u need to do the same thing in metroid as well. also, BM is not an open world where u can go where u want when u want to and a lot of the time-IF you want to. the open world and choice element really makes zeldaMM and OoT alike RPG's

a shotgun to your point

@arobo21: Did you notice the Legacy of the Wizard screen shot in the article? It's a side-scroller AND an RPG (just a joke, I know what you mean, and I agree)! Also, some RPG's are very linear/don't have open worlds, such as FFX (until the very end, of course), so that's not a very reliable definition of an RPG either.

Isn't FF3 called FF5 in Japan?

Shadowrun was pretty cool - I hope it shows up on the virtual console. I wouldn't put it in my top 10 list, but I did enjoy it a lot. I only played the Genesis version....

I really want Chrono trigger, Final Fantasy III (6...) and Earthbound

Wow another CT suck-up...and I will never understand why that game gets so damn overrated for Nintendo just like FF7 does for Sony. They're not so much mediocre, well they are in parts, but they just get more love than deserved and a lot of it I think lies in unfounded nostalgia. I had both back in the day, finished one of them, got far (ff7) in the other and while they were good, neither were earth shattering.

That aside I would agree with the listing as is here and it really does raise some good points.

i will never ever believe Zelda games are rpgs, and nothing anyone will ever say will convince me otherwise, upgrading equipment and open environments are in lots of other kinds of games ( that would make shadow of the colossus and the grand theft auto games rpgs, which they clearly aren't) its an action-adventure series, nothing more.

" You could say "Zelda is not an adventure game, Kings Quest is an adventure game" because that´s what point and click were called way back."

Zelda is an action-adventure, King's Quest is a graphic adventure. See? Easy.

" You could say "Zelda is not an adventure game, Kings Quest is an adventure game" because that´s what point and click were called way back."

Zelda is an action-adventure, King's Quest is a graphic adventure. See? Easy.

"BM is not an open world where u can go where u want when u want to and a lot of the time-IF you want to."

Yes it is. Did you not play the game? As for the point of it being a sdescroller, Tales of Phantasia is just as sidescrolling as Blaster Master, and that game is definitlyan RPG.

tnk4god, I direct your attention to message #4.

Dragon Warrior III definetly deserves to be on the list, since it's one of the best 8-but RPGs ever.

I know that Lufia 2 is the better game in almost every way, but every week I die a little inside when I see that Lufia and the Fortress of Doom has not been released. It was so awesome starting off with Maxim and his party all at their high level 70's just to kick the Sinistrals asses. Really made the game feel more interesting then just starting off with a level 1 nobody.

Anyways, MORE LOVE FOR LUFIA 1!!!!!!

No EarthBound, yet Majora's Mask on a list of the ten most wanted RPGs?

C'mon, man.

Little Ninja Brothers FTW!!!!
#100 FTW!!!!

^that makes battles more interesting, as you need to actully use your head a bit and pay attention, instead of taping down the A button and going for a sandwich.

I guess it's just because I don't like when Zelda games are regarded as RPGs, but I think EarthBound is a very important RPG in Nintendo's library and it would be a shame not to have it on the VC, which is supposed to showcase Nintendo's classic library.

Majora's Mask and Super Mario RPG are the only games I've played on that list, but then I never really got that into RPGs... I might have to check some of those out if they get released... I'm pretty sure Phantasy Star will come out... what was the point of releasing the Master System if they're not gonna put Phantasy Star up... Didn't we already get Phantasy Star III on the Genesis?

hmmm, from what little of it that i played, i remember enjoying the emulator translated FF3 (in japan) game for famicom a lot... Is it better than Dragon Warrior 3? Hard to say... I'm about half way through Dragon Warrior 3 at the moment but I'm starting to lose interest (but in it's defense, i am playing the gameboy color version of the game though it's the best version i've seen so far...)

Majoras Mask is at the top of my list of most wanted of all games on the vc. Its the only Zelda game i havent played and one of the only two i dont own. (I dont have Oracle of Ages either) Of course this dosent include those terrible Cd-i games.

It's a shame that we have to talk about games we would LIKE to see coming to the VC as opposed to one's that have been confirmed. The releases have seriously dried up, otherwise we would not have the need for this list. I hope the release schedule improves for all our sake.

i would DL all 10 of those titles in a heartbeat.

ah i kno, Charco --it really sucks!!! i hope they gain some competence n this area very soon, --instead of trying to find new ways to Charge ppl for their content. its completely backwards. +, at least, 3-4 games a week dammit!!!! what if iTunes were like this?!?! would there still b 1?! lol

+very good idea!!!to ad a bit:
i'd like (don't shoot me) Earthbound/mother1,2,+3 --though a DS release may work!
also, the "japan-only" rpgs would b optimial. imports r extremely desireble. a good game is worth more than whatever one plays it on, "new" +/or "old"

What about Secret of Mana??? Arguably better than A Link To Past and an absolute must for any adventure/rpg fan...

Strong reasons behind your choices but I stratch my head on Zelda...
Dragon Warrior was my first RPG and got me into it. I wouldve ranked it #1 because I felt this started it all.

I am glad that Super Mario RPG is on there. That is probably my favorite RPG game. But, I wonder where Secret Of Mana is. That game is so much fun.

I realy want majoras mask

maybe SMRPG will come out when FF:CC get available...
Just like super mario bros 3 came out the lauch of Mario Galaxy...
And that I am pretty pure that Mario Kart Snes will come out the same day of Mario Kart Wii...

What do you think....

Where is Phantasy Star IV? Phantasy Star III is avarage but Phantasy Star IV is real classic. VC needs Final Fantasy III, Chrono Trigger, Majora's Mask, Phantasy Star, Super Mario RPG and Phantasy Star IV.

I'd like to add Soleil (Had a different name in the US I think), Action-RPG (Zelda Clone) on the Mega Drive/Genesis, and Shining Force II, Strategy-RPG also on the Mega Drive tot he list..

Great games that should be seen by a larger audience..

how in the world could you not include earthbound on this list? not even a mention of it, yet majoras mask isnt even an rpg and its there. disgraceful.

@Damo Did you play 'Illusion of Time' all the way through? I can't believe you didn't like it that much! I had to lie down after reading that! It's my single most favourite game ever!!!!

im suprised that the mother series/earthbound is not on the list while i have not actualy played the game myself i have heard nothing but good about it

@ Damo: I am with you that Earthbound is overrated, I didn't find it to be so special.

The games I miss on the list are Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore and Illusion of Gaia/Time.
The games I am hoping for are Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III and Terranigma.

I so hope Dragon Quest VI will be translated and released for the US / European market... that game rocks! But hey, what's the chances of squenix translating over 10.000 pages text to earn only a little money...

gameaddict- more like drug addict if you believe Earthbound is overrated. and it should be #1 on the list and SMRPG should be #2.

This is infuriating. Earthbound dosen't make it? retarded.

Now that there's a ds version of chrono trigger coming out I doubt we will be seeing it on the VC. Which sucks as much as I love the DS I enjoy playing games on a TV more.

Since is a list from Corbie, i was expecting puting EarthBound out.
Opinions are opinions

But for me is the nº 1, since Mario RPG is out and Chrono is going to DS.
MOTHER FTW

OMG Legacy of the Wizard is one of my favorite games ever. I would love for it to come to the VC... I still have my NES copy tho =D

Chrono Trigger and FFIII won't make it to VC this generation because of the DS remakes.
I'm glad some wishes where already granted
