Don't forget Conker's Bad Fur Day!

I'm back (for the moment)!

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

I did the top 10 per system.

Also, according to Wikipedia, Conker didn't even sell at least a million copies.

I'm surprised Golf isn't there yet, considering how generic it is.

You fail to mention that many of these would have to be imports. Are these successful worldwide?

Ghosts 'n Goblins IS on the North American VC

None of the Dragon Warriors have come out on VC
And 5 and 6 didn't even come to america until DS

EDIT: Now I read the title a little more closely. Disregard the entire first part of this comment!

Still rockin' the GameBoy brick. Yes, I do believe it's portable. It fits in my satchel.

Sonic CD is a Sega CD game, not a Genesis game, and some of those games have licensing issues that leave little to no chance of them showing up. Plus, the Pokémon Stadium games have a major issue of losing a lot of their value without a connection to the Pokémon Game Boy games. I think you should redo the list to only include games with no major issues keeping them off of VC.

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.

Like Bulbasaurus Rex said, I don't think any of the N64 Rare games are coming to VC. You should take those off. That'd be everything besides Star Wars, the Pokemon Stadiums, and Mario Party 2.

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

These aren't games I want on the VC. These are the most SUCCESSFUL (i.e. best selling) games not on the VC yet.

F-1 Race is a bit of a surprise. So generic. Then again, it was made in 1984, and maybe the first-person racing genre wasn't quite as saturated?

Yeah, but there's not much of a point to making this list unless you leave off the ones we know won't come to VC and then use the list as a reference as to what should come to VC.

for a lot of these games, their failure to appear on the VC makes sense. but for the first party classics like Dr. Mario, Super Mario World 2, and StarFox... I mean, c'mon

Dr. Mario and Tetris are already on WiiWare, making their chances of coming to the VC nigh impossible.

Looks like wrestling was all the rage on the N64. I think all they need is one game.

What the heck is Turok? I thought it was a cartoony platformer.

We need more Star Wars!

Hey You Pikachu won't come unless they remake it for the Wii Speak.

NBA Jam was on the SNES?

Sports games won't come because of licensing problems.

Turok was a FPS which involved shooting dinosaurs and an incredibly high difficulty. It was also quite fun.

Why can't you expand the Genesis list like you did the others?

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.

This gave me a good laugh. The more the merrier StarFox. Most of the wrestling games for the 64 were good. Why would you want only 1 released if they were all (mostly) good?

Eh, it wasn't THAT hard. It can be challenging, but there's much harder games out there. I've beaten the first 2 games. Seeds of Evil had insanely long levels. Truly one of the best FPS on the N64.

Abolish AI!
