Mario Mondays: The Ultimate Wii U Virtual Console Wishlist Post for 2014

Welcome to Mario Mondays, where I discuss all things Nintendo!

A disclaimer before I start: Yes I am a Nintendo fanatic. Have been since the early 90s. That doesn’t preclude me from calling them on the carpet if things start to hit the fan, however.

Last week I discussed the Virtual Console and said I’d post a wishlist post for the Virtual Console later.  This is that post.

So, without any further ado or delay, here is my personal Wii U Virtual Console Wishlist for all announced and/or upcoming systems.  Note that this will also include the Wii Virtual Console platforms that haven’t made the jump to the Wii U yet, which I am putting underneath the Announced Systems list.  BTW, I know zip about the more obscure platforms like the Master System so I am not qualified to speak on them.

Announced Systems (including Wii VC platforms yet to make the leap to Wii U with the Wii VC releases generally being first):

NES / Famicom
The best of the best in terms of support on the Wii VC and the Wii U eShop, even from Nintendo themselves, but there are areas that could reasonably be improved, and that is where I come in.

Wii VC releases:

• Adventures of Lolo / Adventures of Lolo 2 / Adventures of Lolo 3: One of the most unsung video game franchises in Nintendo's NES library by far. Both Lolo and Lolo 2 saw Wii Virtual Console release, so if nothing has gone screwy with the way Nintendo gets titles on the Virtual Console, both of the first two games are essentially a lock for the Wii U VC, but Lolo 3 was not, so that would be a genuine surprise to see Lolo 3 on the Wii U eShop.
• Bases Loaded: This was a third party Wii VC game, but I have no idea how this particular one was licensed for the Wii VC and/or whether or not Bases Loaded will be coming onto the Wii U VC, and whether its sequels will follow, but this would be a wonderful series to have on the Wii U.
• Blades of Steel: Another third-party Wii VC title, but since it’s Konami, and Konami tends to have a pretty good relationship with the Virtual Console, I think this one’s essentially a lock for the Wii U.
• Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse: The first two NES Castlevania games are already on the Wii U eShop (and even Super Castlevania IV has made the leap to the Wii U eShop), so Castlevania 3 is pretty much going to come onto the Wii U eShop.  It’s a matter of when in this case, and not if.
• Final Fantasy: I’m practically out on a limb here on this one, but the original Final Fantasy was actually on the Wii U VC, and it was a late addition if I recall right.  Also, no joke, it was supposed to be Square’s last game until the game came out and it sold like hotcakes.
• Mega Man 5: (insert obligatory Sequelitis “MEGA MAN! MEGA MAN!” joke here) This is the last NES Mega Man game to not see release on the Wii U eShop from the Wii VC.  Mega Man 1 - 4 are already on the Wii U eShop, so it’s up to Capcom to save the day here.
• Metroid: BOTH sequels to this game that can be put onto the Virtual Console at the moment (Metroid II: Return of Samus on Game Boy and Super Metroid on SNES) are both on the Wii U eShop, so this one is practically a lock.
• NES Open Tournament Golf: By far and away the superior NES golf experience from Nintendo themselves, I’d be really surprised if this one didn’t hit the Wii U eShop at some point.
• The Ninja Gaiden trilogy: These games are among the hardest games on the NES, and I’d be real interested in playing them, because I never got the chance.
• River City Ransom: Because it’s River City Ransom. Nuff said.
• Super C: Because it’s in the Contra series.  Again, nuff said.
• Super Dodge Ball: Again, this needs no explanation.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: This is one of the few “long shots” of games that were already on the Wii VC.  I hope Nintendo does figure out the licensing mess here, but I have exactly zero faith they’ll do it if Turtles in Time on the SNES isn’t included in the deal.

New To Wii U Releases:

• Kai No Bouken (or Quest of Ki). Anyone who has delved into the rabbit hole that is Game Center CX for any length of time knows Quest of Ki.  It is one of the most famous games that Arino has challenged on the show that never made it to the West.  It’s a followup to the infamous Namco game Tower of Druaga, except it’s a prequel to Tower of Druaga.  It’s also one of the most develish NES games and if NES Remix were to offer DLC of games that were made by third parties, I’d be real impressed to see this one crop up in the bonuses.  Plus it’d be a wonderful “Import Release” title, and there were criminally too few of those on the Wii VC.
• Contra.  Yes, Contra.  For some weird reason, we never got the original NES Contra on the Wii VC and I want to be able to play a good solid game of Contra.  Maybe once NES Wii U VC options from the Wii VC dry up we’ll get this one, but it is downright criminal that we haven’t gotten this one yet.

SNES / Super Famicom:
The SNES had some real gaming gems, and it’d be a shame to not get more great new SNES games like EarthBound, right Nintendo?

Wii VC releases:

• Final Fantasy II / IV: We Westerners knew this as Final Fantasy II, but it’s actually most well-known to the Japanese as Final Fantasy IV because they got two Final Fantasy games on the Famicom that we Westerners never got on the NES.
• Final Fantasy III / VI: Yet again we Westerners got a game that was a different name in Japan, but this time we also got #6 instead of #5.  Thankfully with the release of Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation a few years after the release of this game we got to jump on the same numbering scheme as the Japanese.  Which invited confusion galore, but that is a topic for another day.
• Harvest Moon: The original SNES classic farming sim that started it all and touched off a worldwide phenomenon, even tho the original SNES version was released way late in the SNES’s lifespan.
• Kirby’s Avalanche: Yet another branded Puyo Puyo game that came out well before Puyo Puyo was a well-known gaming brand in the West like Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, which I’ll discuss below.  Puzzle games are always in style so this one is one I’d like to see.
• SimCity: Now before you say “Oh, but that was EA, that’s never going to see release on the Wii U eShop”, let me stop you a sec here. This SimCity, specifically the SNES version, while it was created by Maxis (now a division of EA), Nintendo themselves published it.  So this is another “I’d love to see this one on the eShop” game.
• Super Mario Kart: Sooner rather than later, please. I much, much, much prefer the original SMK to just about any Mario Kart game that has come out since.
• Super Star Wars / Super Empire Strikes Back / Super Return of the Jedi: Surprisingly enough, these Super Star Wars games DID see release on the Wii VC!  This is back when LucasArts actually cared about rereleasing its back catalog before they went belly up, so this is a real long shot, but I would like to see it.

New to Wii U releases:

• Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, & 3. Even though this one was already on the Wii VC, these games are actually no longer on the Wii VC and I’d love to see these games triumphantly return to the Wii U, especially in lieu of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze coming out next month.

N64 (Wii VC platform, however it is also in the queue to be on the Wii U’s Virtual Console as of January 2013)
The N64 saw the least amount of Virtual Console titles on the Wii VC of any of Nintendo’s console platforms (only a scant 21 titles from Nintendo’s vast N64 library), so there’ll be a longer list on the New to Wii U releases list rather than on the Wii U VC releases list.

Wii VC releases (all fairly self-explanatory):

• 1080 Snowboarding
• Cruisin’ USA
• Mario Kart 64
• Mario Party 2
• Mario Tennis
• Super Smash Bros.
• Yoshi’s Story (So happy!)
• Zelda: Majora’s Mask
• Zelda: Ocarina of Time

New to Wii U releases:

• Mario Party 1 / Mario Party 3.  Mario Party 1 is the least likely of this bunch to be rereleased, however the hard plastic of the control stick on the N64 was horribly rough on people’s hands, whereas the current crop of Nintendo control sticks, even on the Wii U GamePad, are not nearly as rough on the thumbs and/or hands.  Also, it was a crying shame that the Wii VC totally petered out before Mario Party 3 got a chance to shine.
• Goldeneye 007.  Yeah yeah I know I *could* try the Wii version that Activision put out, but they didn’t put in the effort to allow the original (and far superior) N64 version to be unlockable.
• Banjo Kazooie / Banjo Tooie.  Yeah, yeah, I know I could go out, buy a 360, and then download & play these games that way, but I’d rather play these games on a Nintendo platform.
• Jet Force Gemini. One of the forgotten Rareware N64 titles, but it really looked cool for its time and I would love it if Nintendo and Rare / Microsoft Game Studios would settle their differences and get these games out for people to play again.
• Donkey Kong 64.  Another great Rareware N64 title, this one is the most obvious omission from the Wii VC (other than Mario Party 1 and Goldeneye that is) and if Nintendo were to sort out the licensing and hardware emulation issues, I would buy and play this day one.

Genesis / Mega Drive (Wii VC platform, it’s not in the queue for Wii U eShop yet but it should be):
Sega’s answer to the Super Nintendo was wildly successful.  So much so, in fact, that Sega tried to milk it for all it was worth, and… eventually gave up the hardware ghost as a result in 2001 and became a third party publisher and a shell of its former self.  But hey, Sega fans and Wii U owners ought to be able to relive the glory days, eh?

Wii VC releases (all self explanatory):

• Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
• Ecco the Dolphin
• Ecco The Tides of Time
• Golden Axe / Golden Axe II / Golden Axe III
• Gunstar Heroes
• Kid Chameleon (this one’s fairly difficult)
• Sonic & Knuckles
• Sonic 3D Blast
• Sonic Spinball
• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Sonic the Hedgehog 2
• Sonic the Hedgehog 3
• Streets of Rage / Streets of Rage 2 / Streets of Rage 3
• The Revenge of Shinobi (hopefully with the licensed characters intact this time)
• Toejam and Earl
• Toejam and Earl in Panic on Funkotron

New to Wii U releases:

• Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker. This one’s been seen on ratings board listings for quite some time and is grossly overdue for a rerelease to get the price down on the original Genesis cartridge.
• Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse. This one was remade, but I am not a fan of the way they remade this in 3D, and would have far rather seen a wider release of the Genesis / Mega Drive version on places like the Virtual Console versus the PSN store as an exclusive preorder bonus, which was pretty bad given the remake's multiplatform release.
• World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.  Please can someone give us this game too along with the original Castle of Illusion?
• Quackshot Starring Donald Duck. Yet another “Disney Game” on Genesis, but I’d dearly love to see more people playing this game.  It’s obscenely hard but that’s par for the course for older games such as these.
• Mega Man: The Wily Wars. This one is one that most people probably glossed over because not every Genesis owner in the US had the Sega Channel (which this was exclusive to).  It’s an enhanced Genesis remake of Mega Man 1-3 from the NES, with an exclusive “Wily Tower” section where you fought pieces of the Genesis Machine (get it?  Because it was on the Sega Genesis?).  Capcom has been really good about rereleasing many of the other Mega Man games, but this one has so far gotten extremely short shrift, only seeing release on a portable Sega Genesis clone that many are saying isn’t that good.

Game Boy Advance (in the queue for the Wii U VC as of January 2013):
The GBA is a tough nut to crack.  I’d love to see a lot of games personally, but Nintendo has been eerily quiet on the topic of GBA Virtual Console rereleases since this time last year pretty much.  Maybe we’ll see the fruits of their labor soon, who knows.

• Droopy’s Tennis Open.  This one may be a huge surprise to most of you, but I was (and still am) a HUGE fan of Tex Avery (the animation director) and his most famous MGM creation, Droopy Dog. This game, sadly, never saw release here.  But it did in Europe, and I think it even hit Japan, but like a few of the games on this list, it skipped over North America for whatever reason.
• Kuru Kuru Kururin. Again, this one hit Japan AND Europe but we North America gamers got screwed and didn’t get this fabulous game.  Thank heavens the GBA was region free, otherwise this game (and its sequel Kururin Paradise) would never have made it here.
• The Mega Man Battle Network games.  These games I glossed over big time, and I actually sort of regret that.  Maybe now we’ll get them to be rereleased in some fashion?
• The Mega Man Zero games.  These games are almost HARDER than the original NES games from what I hear.  I believe these games were collected in a DS or 3DS game but I still think it’d be interesting to see these games on the eShop regardless.
• The Castlevania games.  Yes, this series has seen some dumb rebooting of recent, but I think Metroidvania isn’t that bad.  And I especially would want to see Castlevania games from a time before Lords of Shadow totally threw all the series continuity out with the bathwater, so these games would be essential.
• Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.  These games are ones that I glossed over, and much to my consternation I want to go back and finally play them after I got hopelessly addicted to Fire Emblem Awakening.  Here’s hoping Nintendo won’t run scared from Fire Emblem releases Stateside again.

Nintendo DS (in the queue for the Wii U Virtual Console as of January 2014):
Ahh, the DS.  The newest Nintendo handheld console on this list, and one that is sure to be controversial.  Not one to shy away from the controversial opinions, here is my DS Virtual Console wishlist (that doesn’t include Brain Age):

• Chrono Trigger DS. Yes, this could technically come onto the Wii U eShop as the SNES verson, I think this one would work better with the DS version but maybe that’s just me.
• Retro Game Challenge (also known as Game Center CX: Arino no Chosenjou). This one sort of flew under the radar for many DS gamers like myself.  I regret this oversight majorly because of the fact that there have been two more Game Center CX games in Japan and we haven’t gotten them here, and probably won’t unless a miracle happens. Also XSeed should not be in charge of handling any future releases IMO (just you wait, they’ll probably give exclusive distribution rights to GameStop again), so let’s just let Namco Bandai distribute them here in the US and maybe we’ll get a better marketing plan and maybe, just maybe, we’ll get translations of the second DS game and the new-in-Japan 3DS game.
• Tetris DS. Okay, this one might be a licensing nightmare given the name but I would personally love to see this one come to the Wii U eShop.  Especially if they can figure out how to emulate DS games on 3DS as well, as this one would be PERFECT for on-the-go play with StreetPass and the like.
• Yoshi’s Island DS. This one is almost a lock for the eShop if the hype for Yoshi’s New Island is any indication.  I’d be interested in seeing how this release got handled, though.
• Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon. This one I skipped over, quite regrettably, and I’d love for this game and its Mystery of the Emblem sequel that STILL hasn’t seen release Stateside to be available.  I’d even prefer seeing it in a special collection of Fire Emblem 8- & 16-bit games that are officially localized for 3DS and Wii U, but I would dearly love to play the Fire Emblem series from the very first game in English finally.
• Clubhouse Games. Nintendo kinda broke this game apart for DSiWare rerelease but I’d rather see the full-blown original.
• Electroplankton. Another Nintendo break-apart effort that I’d rather see the full-blown original of.  It’d certainly make the DS game card way less of a rarity.
• Glory of Heracles. This one almost EVERYBODY glossed over, and it is extremely regrettable that Nintendo didn’t market this one better because it was actually a full-blown SERIES in Japan that we’ll never get to see in full now.

TurboGraphx-16 (Wii VC platform; some games have already released in Japan as PC Engine games so it is a matter of time before they come Stateside):
NEC and Hudson Soft’s answer to the SNES and Genesis was… actually an 8-bit console that was touted as a 16-bit console.  But it did bridge the gap slightly to the 16-bit era, and it did way better in Japan than it did in the West, so there’s that.

Wii VC releases:

• Akamajou Dracula X: Chi No Rondo. This one was technically considered an import game on the Wii VC but this game is so great that it will probably come to the Wii U eShop eventually.
• The Bonk games. Obviously.
• The shmup games that were released on Wii VC. Again, it’s kinda obvious.
• Galaga 90. Again, pretty obvious.

New to Wii U releases:

• Cyber Core.  This one was strangely never released on the Wii VC but it really should see a further release as it’s really a neat concept for a shmup.

Commodore 64 (Wii VC platform, not in the queue yet but it really should be):
The Commodore 64.  At times a computer with unfathomable power, and at others a powerful-for-its-time gaming machine.  Its specs were unmatched for many IBM-PCs at that time, and it displayed in color when a very select few did at that time.  Also it was quite poorly supported on the Wii VC, so if they were to do it again on the Wii U eShop, they would have to ramp up their support considerably.  DISCLAIMER: I don’t know very many good C64 games, very sorry.  If I’ve missed a good one, please feel free to post it in the comments.

Wii VC releases:

• California Games. Great googly moogly, I would love to see this one continue to see release.
• Summer Games II. Why not Summer Games I?  Oh well, I’ll ask for its predecessor and a few more Epyx games below.
• The Last Ninja / The Last Ninja II. This one is almost a lock for the Wii U eShop if the C64 comes into play.

New to Wii U releases:

• Summer Games I.  Again, why this one hasn’t gotten rereleased (but the sequel did) boggles my mind.
• Winter Games.  This one is one of my all-time favorites, and I’d dearly love to see this game, and The Games: Winter Edition (its followup) on the Wii U eShop.
• Impossible Mission 1 & 2. “ANOTHER VISITOR, STAY AWHILE. STAAAAAAAY FOREVER!” That opening monologue from the first game has implanted itself in my mind, and I want to see more people play the original (and NOT the DS remake).

Neo Geo (Wii VC platform, not in the queue yet but it’s a real shame it is not):
Ah, the Neo-Geo. SNK’s powerhouse “arcade-in-your-home” gaming console that cost a FORTUNE when it first came out, and it still costs quite a lot of money for an actual console.  For that reason, this one is essential if you’re going to bring VC platforms over to the Wii U for accessibility to the masses.

Wii VC releases (self explanatory):

• The Fatal Fury series.
• The Metal Slug series.
• The King of Fighters series.
• The Samurai Shodown series.
• Baseball Stars 2.
• King of the Monsters.
• Magician Lord.

New to Wii U releases:

• Garou: Mark of the Wolves.  Shameful that this one didn’t make it onto the Wii VC, especially when Neo Geo releases practically propped up the Wii VC all by themselves in the latter years of the Wii’s lifecycle, even into the early days of the Wii U's lifecycle.
• Strikers 1945 Plus.  Another shameful omission, as the Strikers 1945 games are some of my all time favourite vertical shoot-em-up games.
• SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom. Even though it took SNK Playmore several years to live up to its commitment for the Capcom vs. SNK games, this game NEEDS a wider release than it has frankly gotten.

Virtual Console Arcade (Wii VC platform):
One of the most shamefully under-supported console platforms of the entire Virtual Console (with even less support than even the N64 got), the VC Arcade, if done totally right, is a GOLDMINE of retro gaming.  Yeah we have MAME, but frankly, not giving the option to support what are essentially arcade game ROMS is inexcusable.

Wii VC releases:

• the SEGA arcade releases.  There really, really, really wasn’t that much here, sadly.

New to Wii U releases (only scratching the surface here):

• Donkey Kong.  The fact that the arcade version of Donkey Kong (with the pie factory level intact) has not really seen ANY sort of rerelease given its immense popularity, even today (especially with the King of Kong documentary), is absolutely, unequivocally criminal and Nintendo should very rightly be ashamed of themselves for not giving this game (or any of its OWN arcade releases for that matter) any sort of Virtual Console Arcade love.
• Zoo Keeper (Taito).  And by Zoo Keeper I do not mean the Bejeweled clone.  Oh no, this was a Taito arcade machine that sometimes rewarded players who would recklessly go for points instead of completing game objectives.
• Area 51 (Midway).  One of the premiere lightgun games (and my personal favorite), it’s downright criminal we haven’t seen a rerelease of any kind of this great lightgun game (and yet we got Target: Terror which is a similar relic of its time).

Ideal Systems for the Wii U Virtual Console (i.e. unannounced VC platforms and my wildest speculation):

 

GameCube:

The GameCube is one of those systems that didn’t do terribly well sales-wise, but it had a wealth of fabulous Nintendo games that to a large degree still influences Nintendo’s direction, even now.

• Mario Superstar Baseball.  FAR superior to the Mario Super Sluggers game that hit Wii, I think this one is criminally underrated and something we should have more people playing.
• Super Smash Bros. Melee.  Nuff said.
• Skies of Arcadia Legends.  This one might be a surprise to a lot of you that I am including it on this list, but I think this game is criminally underrated and it’s equally criminal that it hasn’t seen another release, even a rerelease, since this game dropped on GameCube.
• Mario Party 4 - 7. Almost a lock if GameCube were to come to the Wii U eShop, as Mario Party is obscenely popular in North America.  Only question I have is how the GameCube microphone (which was a control method of sorts for the latter MP Cube games) would factor into the Wii U VC versions.
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.  It’s Fire Emblem.  Why not?

Wii:

This one is no surprise to anyone.  The Wii U is indeed backwards compatible with the Wii, but I think this could be a wonderful step to get some of those uber-expensive Wii games to come down in price a tad.

• Donkey Kong Country Returns.  Even though there’s a 3DS remake (that apparently did almost everything right), I think this would be a real interesting anachronism for seasoned DKC players, especially after Tropical Freeze drops in a few weeks.
• Excite Truck.  Here’s hoping it’ll restore the custom-soundtracks-on-the-SD-card feature.  This IS Nintendo we’re talking about however, so probably not.
• Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.  Maybe this will see release too, who knows.
• Fortune Street.  This one has sadly not seen much excitement around it, so maybe we’ll see it eventually on the Wii U eShop.
• Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special Edition.  This one was criminally overlooked because of how poorly the Super Mario All-Stars rerelease on Wii was received, so maybe we’ll see this one yet.
• Kirby’s Epic Yarn.  One of the most-maligned Kirby games ever, this game looks really fun, and the Good Feel guys are coming up with a Yarn Yoshi game that we haven’t seen or heard much about since its initial reveal last year.
• Kirby’s Return to Dream Land. Obviously.
• Mario Kart Wii. Not that it’ll ever happen, given Mario Kart 8 is coming real soon, but hey, why not.
• Mario Party 8 & 9. Again Mario Party is as popular as ever, and these games (at least MP8 as I haven’t played 9 yet) were quite fun.
• Metroid Prime Trilogy.  One of the games that has become quite a collector’s item, I would dearly love to see Metroid Prime Trilogy be playable by a fair few more gamers.
• Sin and Punishment: Star Successor.  A fine followup to the original N64 import classic that actually saw worldwide release for once, this one is going to be on everyone’s “I want to see this on Wii U eShop list eventually.
• Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2.  This one is probably going to get an HD remake / rerelease a la Wind Waker HD, but I think these two games have lots of innovation and enough gameplay to last a long, long time for people who like taking their time with games.
• Xenoblade Chronicles.  The only “Operation Rainfall” game that Nintendo published themselves overseas, this is the one that Nintendo pretty much shot themselves in the foot with, and thankfully Monolith Soft is coming up with a follow up, called just “X” for the time being, but making this a GameStop exclusive pretty much doomed its chances of having any kind of American success, as any retailer exclusive does.

Dreamcast:

Sega’s last gasp in the hardware business, and boy did they ever go out with a bang.  Some of the greatest games came out for this platform, and Sega is still getting requests for much of its output from this particular console to port to HD systems and PC.  So for me, it’s a no-brainer to try and get Sega’s Dreamcast on board to buy Dreamcast games from Sega officially.

• Chu Chu Rocket. This game is a GBA launch-window title, and I distinctly remember buying the GBA version from Circuit City (may it RIP) and this game has been a favorite of mine ever since.  But strangely, the Dreamcast version (that is far superior IMO) hasn’t seen any sort of rerelease since Sega stuffed it onto GBA’s only-two-face-buttons platform.
• Shenmue and Shenmue II.  Even if Nintendo were to trot out its vast warchest to get Shenmue to be exclusive to Nintendo, I would be totally remiss to not at least request these games’s original Dreamcast versions (the sequel of which never saw official release over here on the Dreamcast. Thanks Peter Moore! Not.).
• Skies of Arcadia.  I requested Legends (the GameCube rerelease) above, but hey, never too many options to request Skies of Arcadia, am I right?
• Street Fighter III: Third Strike.  One of the Dreamcast’s signature fighting games, and the poster child for 3rd Strike for years to come, I would love to see the DC version (which was really close to the arcade original IIRC) come out on the Wii U.
• Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2.  Unfortunately the original MVC and MVC2 aren’t available for many modern consoles, so I’d dearly love to see those games in more places.
• JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.  The Dreamcast-exclusive (til recently with the HD version) fighting game is absurdly tough, but I think it’d be wonderful to see this game get more release love.

Amiga:

Commodore’s followup to the wildly successful C64 did… mildly well but it actually pretty much bankrupted Commodore because they really didn’t know how to market the darn thing, and it showed.  But it had some fabulous gaming software, and it might behoove Nintendo to be talking with Cloanto, makers of Amiga Forever, if they are to work on getting Amiga games to work on Wii U.  Also if I missed any good ones please feel free to enlighten me.

• Worms & Worms 2. This needs no further explanation.
• The Cinemaware titles.  Again, no further explanation necessary.
• Superfrog.  While the HD version apparently did a lot right, it also got a fair few things wrong, so having an official rerelease of the original Amiga version of Superfrog would be really cool for Team17 fans to play with.
