I'd love EA to release games on the VC. They have strong support for the Wii but, so far, have neglected the Virtual Console. I know a lot of people don't like EA so much these days, but they used to have some awesome titles.

I'd love to be able to play the likes of Road Rash, Desert Strike, the original FIFA International Soccer, Populous - even Robocod would be worth a look lol. Where are they? The VC Megadrive will never be complete without them!

Yeah I too have noticed that EA so far has zero games for the VC. I wish they would release Beetle Adventure Racing.

I rule when it comes to games. So deal with it.

Yeah it is strange, especially considering that Nintendo even asked permission to release Sim City from EA.

I had communication from a producer who works at EA and saw a review of a game he worked on at my blog. I asked him about this issue and he said there are people working on VC stuff, but the rights issues are the big hold-up as they need to determine what they actually control publishing rights to from back in the 8-bit days.

Someday I reckon we'll see stuff like Archon on the VC, but not today!

@gameking23: You're not the only one. And remember it DID get an ESRB Rating in the past so it has been considered at some point.

@Sean Aaron: Thanks for that tidbit of info. Seems like EA is yet another company faced with these licensing issues.

Huh. I'd have though EA would have sorted out their problems by now and have released something on the Virtual Console.

Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

Desert Strike is awesome, too bad EA can't release their games on the VC...the games that pretty much made them.

Main Final Fantasy & Quest/Shinobi Team fan...but I do like many SEGA games and a few Nintendo games.

I can be cute if I want to be, but I choose not to...as it's not my style.

EA hates Nintendo.

Probably not a big concern for them.

Man, it'll piss me off if we don't get Road Rash on VC. Or if we don't get a new Road Rash ever.
Also, whoever got the rights to 3DO's games needs to put them out (I know it's not hard info to find out, but I'm using the "quick reply" button because I don't feel like looking at the moment). I'd love some Battletanx: World Tour or something

And on a somewhat related note, what hell happened to Konami? They seriously need to come back as they still have some great games to release for VC.

@ Deesotilio, don't get your hopes up for 3D0 coming considering we haven't even seen support added for the Sega CD, 32X or Saturn despite the fact that Sega have always been strong VC supporters. I'm seriously doubting we'll ever see another CD based console on the VC beyond the TurboGrafx CD, especially since we're this late in the Wii's life cycle now.

Old thread is old.

They probably gave up and moved onto other things which make them way more money anyways,
