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!
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!
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.
