Why is there no contra? I just went on the shop and tried to download it, but it was nowhere to be found! Yet they have Contras 2 and 3 on there?......Why?

I've Never played contra or contra 2, but i have contra 3 the alien wars and i use to have super c. i also have operation c, but that is not the topic. I think that they should put those games on there. those are the originals, and they are not putting thaem on there? interesting.

Also, is contra 3 the same as contra 3 the alien wars? IDK.

Super Mario Kart and Starfox are taking way too long to get on the VC.

too true. I have always wanted to play starfox. Ive played every one except the snes version

I've played SMK and SF on ZSNES. But playing the ROM doesn't feel satisfying.

Super Mario Kart is one of the best games I've ever played. Star Fox is good. But it's one of the few Nintendo series where I don't think an NES / SNES title is the best in the series. There are some things I like better about it than the 64 version, but ultimately the insane difficulty of it makes it a little less satisfying -- though I seem to remember being a lot better at it when I was a kid... perhaps I just lied about beating it so often that I now believed I did.

Although I will download all three when they arrive, I do hope the original NES Contra (not arcade Contra); ...Probotector to us, comes first. It is after all my very first NES game.

SMK is supposed to come out soon. I believe it is already out in japan.

I have great memories of Star Fox (well Starwing to me) and Mario Kart. They're probably my two most anticipated VC games since before I even bought a Wii (and I was gutted when I looked on the VC shop for the first time and didn't see them there). The wait is long but I'm still looking forwards to being able to play them one day...

Super Mario Kart didn't have an FX chip, but it had something called Mode 7 graphics. But Japan got it June 9. Bound to be soon over here.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island used an FX chip too. I love that game.

Contra- don`t care.
SMK- Got on Super Nintendo so I don`t really mind if we get it anytime soon
Star Fox- Love to see on VC sometime soon but who knows when that`ll be?

Contra - I wish.
Super Mario KArt - I wish. Badly. One of my favorite games ever.
Yoshi's Island - I own it in several formats, so I'll pass.
Star Fox - Meh, I've played it and I'm not too keen on it.

Most SNES games have Mode 7 graphics. It's just the SNES' sprite rotation and scaling mode (seen in F-Zero, Super Mario World, Link to the Past, Super Metroid) to name just a few.

For the record, the FX chip will definately not cause any emulation problems. This is Nintendo we're talking about. If some kid coding in his bedroom can get an FX chip game running on my mobile phone, I'm pretty sure Nintendo can get it running on the Wii!
