Ya, I thought Harvest Moon was #200, I remember someone talking about it on the Harvest Moon thread. #300 could be one of the other milestones that Nintendo won't care about and release something surprising.

I actually thought Secret of Mana was the 200th VC game but I could be wrong. I do remember though saying when the 200th game was released.

Ok actually I just found out that here in North America we have had more than 300 cause the 300th game released on the VC here in NA was Majora's Mask.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora%27s_...
Further information: The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition

In 2003, Nintendo rereleased Majora's Mask on the Nintendo GameCube as part of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition, a special promotional disc which also contained Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and a 20-minute demo version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.[53] This disc could be purchased with a GameCube console as part of a subscription offer to Nintendo Power magazine, or through Nintendo's official website by purchasing and registering a certain number of Nintendo-published games.[54] The offer expired in early 2004.

Similar to several other GameCube rereleases, the game is not a port in the traditional sense, but rather the ROM image of the original game running on a software emulator.[53] The only differences are the colors of the action buttons due to the GameCube's green A button and red B button and the pause screen's use and depiction of the L button as the left page scroller, as opposed to Z. Also, the manual states that due to the emulation some of the sounds have been altered from the originals. Aside from these, because it is only emulated (rather than altered for the new console), there are some timing discrepancies between the two consoles; some of the music sounds inaccurate on the GameCube and the frame rate is lower.[55] Despite these problems, the GameCube version has a cleaner look because it runs at a higher resolution than its Nintendo 64 counterpart.[53] In addition, the GameCube version supports component video connections and progressive scan (480p), and in PAL territories, 60 Hz.[53]

Majora's Mask was released on the Wii's Virtual Console service in Europe and Australia on April 3, 2009,[56] and Japan on April 7, 2009.[57] It was later released in North America on May 18, 2009 to commemorate the 300th Virtual Console game in that region.[7]

I guess it doesn't matter much what release #400 is. At this rate, we won't find out until December 2013.

Aero the Acrobat 2 is Europe's VC game # 349.

It looks like this Friday Natsume's Wild Guns (SNES) will be Europe's milestone VC game # 350.

I posted that last year. Since then a video with the official order of the first 300 came out. Harvest Moon is #200.
