i hope capcom jumps the train soon and presents the classic brawling games (alien vs. predators, cadillacs and dinosaurs ...)

first one? not really? i'm looking forward to ogre battle. sure download!

first, really?

well, unfortunately they decided against the slightly superior snes-version of clay fighter. mediocre week at best i would say.

edit: oh, boy - i'm way to slow for this "first"-business ))

both interviews are available in Austria as well.

really nice list and the most games I see missing were already mentioned by other users here, think of super punch out, illusion of time or soul blazer.

what i am seriously missing nevertheless is for instance parodius. i loved that game back in snes-times. tiger heli would be another game i'd love to play again.

okay, one reason less why there should be an obstacle in putting titles online. so the question remains why profit-oriented companies don't put their whole back catalogue online if there's nothing to lose.

i don't know what's involved. the emulators are a one-time effort, retrieving the code can't be much work and putting it online should at maximum require to pay a fee to nintendo.

BUT: in the end all these companies are revenue-oriented and there has to be some reason why virtual console doesn't pay off for hudson. else they would just blow their whole arsenal online in one instant.

@ Ness (#91): "Maybe because they earn money?"

Obviously not enough for the efforts involved, if for instance Hudson decides to switch to WiiWare where its titles fair very well.

@bass x0: good question, but the point seems to be as well that it doesn't make that big a difference. if you look at the download charts, even top non-nintendo-titles don't fair too well in terms of sales.
