What with Ogre Battle 64 being published by Square Enix, the first N64 game on the VC not to be published by Nintendo (although there have been a few third party developed N64 games released), maybe this will finally allow other publishers getting their N64 games on the VC. Or maybe not. There's no way of knowing what happened behind the scenes. Anyway, whatever the case, lets hope this is not the last time this will happen.
What third party published N64 games would you like to see on the VC? Rare would still be off limits of course except for possibly Donkey Kong 64.
Come on in Capcom, Konami and Namco! The N64 Virtual Console water is fine!
Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.
I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!
My list? Rocket: Robot on Wheels -- A totally underappreciated 3D platformer, although maybe it wouldn't make sense to release on Virtual Console if it didn't sell initially. Star Wars Episode I: Pod Racer -- Probably the best thing to come out of the prequel trilogy. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine -- Always wanted to play this game, but never had the chance.
I've got all the other good Star Wars N64 games on PC, so just give me Shadows of the Empire.
Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?
Prof. Oak: Oh, it only hurts when I sit.
...
Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.
Turok 1-3, Extreme-G 1 & 2 and Shadow Man would be really nice. But I'm not sure if Acclaim games on Virtual Console is feasible. I believe a company called Throwback Entertainment owns the rights to most of Acclaim's games now, so perhaps Nintendo could work out a deal with them and make this a reality.
Since Lucas Arts is already supporting VC, I see no reason why they couldn't start bringing out their N64 titles in the near future. keeps fingers crossed

You can get many N64 games under 10 bucks these days so it doesn't make much sense to publish many obscure titles. The games people want are made by Rare and that probably won't happen. A good game I think would strike some interest is Body Harvest. DMA Design a.k.a. Rockstar developed the game and for anyone who hasn't played it, it's pretty good despite some flaws.
Space Station Silicon Valley is the title that intrigues me most. Visit a zoo, slaughter all the animals, then reanimate them to help you solve platforming puzzles.
