The Virtual Console, a source of unspeakable awesomeness that allows Wii players the world over to re-experience many of the greatest games in history (or experience them for the first time if you missed out on them before). But with that said, there are still several classics that have yet to be released on the glorious little machine, here are some classics I would love to revisit that have yet to make their triumphant return on the Virtual Console.

Earthbound : Probably the most requested title for a VC re-release (well Mario RPG was about even, but that has since been released), Earthbound is quite possibly the biggest cult classic in video game history. I’m guessing that, due to how wanted this game is, that Nintendo is waiting to release this as one the the Virtual Console’s “landmark games” like how Zelda II was the 100th or how Mario RPG was 250th. The game’s deep story and brilliant sense of humor made it a very beloved game for not enough people, and a Virtual Console release may help it gain more popularity (one can only dream). Speaking of Earthbound….

Mother : Earthbound’s predecessor, Mother, has never been released outside of Japan. For nearly two decades people have wanted it, and with recent Japanese-only games being imported to the Virtual Console, this could be the perfect opportunity for Mother to see it’s way to the rest of the world.

Super Mario Kart : Seriously…..Why isn’t this on the Virtual Console yet?! Really, it’s Super Mario Kart, it should be an absolute given. It was the first game to incorporate the whole Mario gang into a new genre. It was the first go-kart party game and, to many, still the best. Really, where’s my Super Mario Kart funny car madness?

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask : There is something I feel guilty about when it comes to video games, and that’s that I kind of missed out on Majora’s Mask. I mean, I owned it and I played it a little and I really liked it, but for no particular reason I didn’t give it the attention it deserved. A re-release on the Virtual Console would be a perfect opportunity for me to re-experience it.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island : Considered by many to be the best platformer ever made, Yoshi’s Island is a truly masterful game. Yoshi’s Island is made of the kind of awesomely fun gameplay that made Mario so famous, and its cute, crayon-like atmosphere gave it an identity all its own. This HAS to come to the Virtual Console!

Sonic & Knuckles : One of Sonic the Hedgehog’s most beloved adventures also saw Knuckles join the spotlight. It’s only a matter of time before this game makes it to the Virtual Console, but the question is, will Sonic and Knuckles’ iconic “lock-on technology” come with it? And if so, how would that work? I suppose it doesn’t matter so long as I can play Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as Knuckles and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (or as I called it, Sonic & Knuckles with Sonic 3 jammed in it) again. Man the SNES/Genesis era…Pure magic.

Seriously Pom Pom, why aren’t these games on the Virtual Console yet? I can’t wait to revisited these gems again, they simply can’t come soon enough.
