@MickeyMouseMac - it's not awkward, it's funny. And I really like pushing enemies to defeat them. But, everyone has their own viewpoint; and I respect peoples' opinions. The first half of Ys Book I & II can be beaten without the aid of a guide.
@NotEnoughGolds - I can imagine that it's the case (I admit I used the guide sometimes when I first played through Ys Book I & II whenever I got stuck). Ys is pretty short and straightforward (once you know what to do), and Ys II: Anicent Ys Vanished implemented a little more challenge and longevity. What gets to me about the latter half of the VC game is that one area where you're in the sewers; it's such a huge maze. I started Ys Book I & II the second time long ago, and I thought of going through it all with no guides (so far so good, but then a brown-out occured one time while I was playing, and I'm afraid of whether or not the file has been saved).
Alternatively, you could play Ys Book I & II, and it probably will become your next favorite RPG.
Or your least favorite game, depending on whether or not you can get into the awkward combat system.
What's so awkward about plowing over enemies?
In case you haven't read the comments on Ys' page, a lot of people found it difficult to adjust to. Even I took over an hour before I finally got it down, and I usually don't have much trouble with controls.
I have bought wii points today (currently have 2100 points) and I am asking for recommendations. I like strategy games and rpg's. I however have already downloaded Secret Of Mana and I have Final Fantasy 4 on DS.
I also have a question about Super Mario RPG: is it like in Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time that you have to press a button to do more damage? Because I found that a bit irritating.

You don't have to, but you can do a timed button press to deal more damage. It's not as necessary as the button presses in the Mario & Luigi games, though. Either way, download Super Mario RPG!

Thank you for the advice. Anything else you think I should download?

You're welcome! You seem like the kind of person that like RPGs, so I recommend Paper Mario (even though it has timed button presses; that comes later, though, and has a tutorial on it) and Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Calibur. Also, any of the Zelda games are great purchases, particularly Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past. You also seem to like Mario, so you can't go wrong with Super Mario Bros. 3. If you already downloaded any of these, then you have good taste!

Aside from Ogre battle (Which I just read the review of; it looks really awesome) I already have all those games. Thanks again, I have one more question though: is downloading the first final fantasy worth it?

To tell you the truth, I have not downloaded the first Final Fantasy game. However, from what I've read, it looks like one of the finer titles in the NES library. Final Fantasy IV is superior, but Final Fantasy I is not a bad game. It could be worse. It could be Donkey Kong Jr. Math (the horror)!
Final Fantasy 1 and Phantasy Star 1 are both good RPGs.

I'd say Phantasy Star is less dated then Final Fantasy if you had to compare them...but the first person styled battling is not something I'd like to play sadly....I think that is why I don't really like the series (Although 4 improves greatly over all of them).

Its even more irritating in SMRPG since you never actually make contact with your enemy, making timing more of a guessing game than anything else.
As for Strategy Games, I'd recommend Shining Force, Ogre Battle, and Uncharted Waters myself. They're all pretty awesome games. Shining Force is more RPG than strategy, though, and Ogre Battle is more of an RTS in a way. There's also Military Madness if you want a more traditional type of strategy game, and if you're looking for a sort-of-tower-defense-game-that-came-out-before-tower-defense-was-even-invented, there's Metal Marines.
As for RPG, the best traditional story-based game that you haven't got is Breath of Fire 2. If you're looking for something a little more old-school, with the emphasis being more on adventure and challenge, look no further than FF1 and Phantasy Star 1. Out of any other game in their class, they do the best job of having an interesting adventure with a balanced challenge that's rarely frustrating so long as you know what you're doing (i.e. don't venture into areas the villagers tell you to avoid, don't run from fights, make sure you got the best armor you can buy, etc.). There's also Fatal Labyrinth if you're looking for a good Rogue-like (actually, its the only rogue-like, and its a bit unfair at times), and Shining in the Darkness if you're looking for a FPRPG that never loses perspective. As for action RPGs, there's Ys Book 1 & 2, which is very good if you don't get turned off by the unorthadox combat system.
That's about all I can recommend. Hope I could be of help.

I already have shining force and I also downloaded Ogre battle 64, which is awesome so far. I also have military madness and I can't download metal marines because I don't live in the US. I'm going to download Final Fantasy 1 with my remaining points.
Out of all of my VC games (20+), I'd say these are my top 10: Paper Mario, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 Stars, Super Mario World, DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure, Super Metroid, Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star 2, Super Castlevania 4, Secret of Mana, and Final Fantasy 2/4. I also enjoyed Metroid and River City Ransom, but couldn't play them for large quantities of time...

After playing it for just a short while, I can safely say that Ufouria: The Saga (NES) is great. It's like a cross between Metroid and Super Mario Bros. 2. Great graphics, cute characters, solid gameplay and some of the best 8-bit music I've ever heard. It seems to be rather easy, but at least it has everything that you miss so badly in the original Metroid such as a map and a compass.
How's Super Mario RPG? Is it similar to Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi? I love the Mario RPGs, I just want to know how good this one is.
I'm pretty okay.

It's fantastic! I think it is more Final Fantasy than Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi, but the other Mario RPGs were inspired by Super Mario RPG. So what are you waiting for? Download this game now! You won't regret it!

It's got the humor and charm of the other Mario RPGs, but it doesn't play anything like them. It feels too much like Final Fantasy, IMO, and the timed attacks aren't as useful and they're difficult to pull off because no one actually makes contact with eachother, and the perspective doesn't help either. In fact, the isometric perspective makes platforming more difficult than it should be, too. It's still a good game, but just try to keep in mind that it is the original and as such is far less refined.
