The VC was one of the most exciting thing ever for me personally before it came out. Sadly it also turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments ever. I only bought one game on it because nintendo seemed really keen to give European gamers the middle finger that generation by offering the games only at the abysmal 50HZ mode.

I'm really curious as to how long this e-shop is going to stay up.
-What were your favorite VC games that you'd never played before?
Super Mario's Picross.
-What were your favorite VC games to revisit?
Not sure. Probably Super Mario 64, wasn't that bad with a Gamecube controller.
A Link to the Past never age for me, but I've other alternative than Virtual Console (GBA primarily).
-What are your overall recommended VC games that aren't available via 3DS's excellent NES emulation and Wii U's excellent SNES emulation?
No idea on that one, sorry :/ Would need giant lists to figure out what are the best SNES games out of it!

Same here. I imagine it will last a couple more years since we haven't heard anything yet.

EU (19 games)

US (9 games)

I'd guess that they were removed due to expiry of a licence agreement.

Oh man, Impossible Mission!
Yeah, for me it was all about the TG-16 CD games and import rarities like Sin & Punishment. Sega arcade ports were also a nice thing, and even though it was twitchy, the Wiimote control implementation for Space Harrier was a cool idea. I really loved VC on the Wii, so this thread serves as a nice reminder of that.

Your possible options:
1. Homebrew C64 emulator
2. VC injection with your own ROM
3. Illegal WAD shenanigans
It's been a year and a half, Max. Still waiting!
