I ended up getting MUSHA, since the only other games that interested me were Lords/Gate of Thunder, Star Parodier, Axelay, and R-Type III. Sorry, guys. P:

At least you went with a good one, I just hope you can stick with it.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but since that doesn't appear to be a rebuttle/follow-up to a recommendation, I suggest you go see the "VC Games You Got That You Regret" Thread, a couple lines down the page (or was it on the previous page? I'll have to check again).
Why? I'm very interested in getting this game but don't want to make the wrong decision.
It is well crafted, I just didnt like the 'ships' design, settings, and the difficulty curve.. I can't get into the mood of the game.
I'll try to watch some playthroughs to decide.
There's multiple stages you can choose from, just play them in order of difficulty. What weapons you choose and how powered-up you are also plays a pretty big role in how difficult your experience will be.
I have 600 Wii Points. I was first planning on getting an NES game but I kind of want to expand my horizons so I want to try something from the Master System or the Turbografx-16.
Metroid is my favorite of the ones you listed. The only problem is that it doesn't have a map so you may want to print one out. It has great atmospere, awesome music, and a fairly good amount of unlockables, so I'd definitely recommend it. ;D

Here's What I'm Considering
Sega Master System:
Phantasy Star
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Turbografx-16:
World Class Baseball
Neutopia
Military Madness
NES:
Castlevania
Mega Man 3
Tecmo Bowl
Metroid
Phantasy Star is great if you love Console RPGs and want to see where they all started. Hell, it still has some fairly unique themes and gameplay mechanics that make it stand out to this day, but it's also fairly shallow and straight-forward compared to modern RPGs.
Neutopia is great if you like Old School Zelda and want a new experience based on it.
Castlevania is great if you want a fun and challenging but fair action-platformer with some good tunes. It's very sluggish, though, and it'll take a lot of getting used to.
Mega Man 3 is great if you want a fun and challenging action-platformer with some good tunes and fluid controls. It can be a bit cheap at times, though, mostly with enemies that act or appear unexpectedly.
Tecmo Bowl is also a lot of fun, especially if you have someone to play it with. It is very simplistic and you might get bored with it quick if you have to play it with the honestly lackluster AI, but at least it's fun while it lasts.
Metroid is a classic action-adventure-platformer that can be very entertaining if you can get into it, but that's easier said than done. It's certainly a hardcore game - no maps, no hints, samey corridors that basically require you not only draw a map but use other personal navigation/memoriation tools in order to keep from getting lost (trust me, you will get lost, even with a map), and when you die, you start out with low health. This game is definitely not for the faint of heart.
Alex Kidd I can't recommend not only because it's bloody hard, but the rock-paper-scissors game during every boss fight is downright unfair.
Military Madness I also can't recommend since it's like Advance Wars minus the flair, charm, and ingenuity.
@jethro_floyd I'm not the biggest fan of 8 bit games, but If you're a fan of Tecmo Bowl on the NES, the Arcade version of Tecmo Bowl is available for 600 Wii points.
Thanks guys, I'm still on the fence though. I might just hold the points until I get another card, but ah, I don't know. I know Metroid is great, but I'm not crazy about games that are harder than they need to be. i.e. Zelda II. Tecmo Bowl is fun, but I like longevity and I really want to give something from the TG-16 a shot. If only I had enough points for Rondo of Blood.
Hey, I was one of the winners of the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary contest (the one where the prize was a free VC NES game). The problem is, I don't know what to get? What are some of the best NES games on VC? I was thinking about getting SMB 3, but I'm thinking about getting the Super Mario All Stars Wii collection when it comes out. So the question is, what are the best NES VC games to get, and should I get SMB 3 even if I'm getting the SMAS collection? Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty okay.

Congrats on winning =D
Personally if it was me I would wait for the SMA collection but if you are one of those people that need both versions than go for it. Right now I have all three Mario games on the VC but I am going to delete them as soon as I get the SMA collection. There are several good games out there right now, but for me to make a suggestion I would need to know what type of games you like and what ones you have if any.

Thanks Sorry, I forgot to put that stuff in... I only have 2 NES games on VC: Super Mario Bros. and Kirby's Adventure. I guess that means I like platformers lol. I'm not sure about everything I like, but I'm certain I like platformers. I enjoy racing games and some RPGs too.
I'm pretty okay.

Then again, I'm not sure if I like 8-bit racing games, so probably not those.
I'm pretty okay.

Any of the 4 Megaman games they are great platformer games. Probably if I had to chose 1 it would be Megaman 3
Final Fantasy (a classic RPG)
Star Tropics
Ninja Gaiden 1 or 2 (But be warned those are some very hard game)
You also cant go wrong on either of the Zelda games.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the suggestions! I went with Mega Man 1 because you know what they say, begin at the beginning lol.
I'm pretty okay.

Ok, if Mario Party 2 comes out for Christmas, I'm getting it and the Yard Sale game. That'll leave me with 500 points to spare.
MY OPTIONS Mega Man- little interest in the series Kid Icarus- I've been told it's very hard Metroid- maybe Sonic SMS- for nostalgia Ice Climber- little interest
