We've already heard about the GBA games you want on 3DS Virtual Console, but that's only half the equation: Nintendo will also be giving away 10 free NES games to 3DS users too.
The NES games announced so far are:
Super Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong Jr.
Balloon Fight
Ice Climber
The Legend of Zelda
Obviously the NES has a much larger catalogue than just these five, so we want to know which games you want to see come to the 3DS download service.
Remember that Nintendo has confirmed that NES games for 3DS will include multiplayer functions, so be sure to factor that into your decisions too.

Can't we already get pretty much any Nes game we ever wanted on Wii VC by now? What's left that hasn't already been released?
I can't really think of any that I wanted that hasn't already been made available.
@Link79 Well not all of us own a Wii, plus, we want this stuff on our 3DS VC!!!
Well I guess it would be neat having portable Nes games.
i just can't imagine there'd be that many people with a 3DS but no Wii.
People are overlooking that Mario Golf game NES open.
Metroid

...you know what, I'd love to see more obscure NES titles available to download unlike the ones that ALWAYS become either downloadable or ported like the Megamans, the Marios and the Zeldas
Kid Icarus
Dragon Warrior
Adventure Island
DuckTales (lol)
Faxanadu
Castlevania 1 or 3
Punch-Out!!
Mega Man (any)
Out of those, I think there's a great chance of getting Kid Icarus and Puch-Out. I don't really care, though; I can get NES games on the Wii. I'm way more excited about the GBA games.
You know this is all well and good but how come nobody is addressing the obvious question here. Why the heck aren't the NES (SNES too for that matter) games we've already downloaded and paid for on Wii able to be brought over for FREE anyways? Seriously, what's going to happen with Wii U? Are we going to have to pay for VC games again on there too? Are we going to yet again be at the mercy of when Nintendo decides to release the games we want and have already gotten on Wii? I think this is an important issue and I will be seriously miffed if all the money and toil waiting for the games in the first place is for not once this new console comes around.
So to answer the question, I want all the games I've already paid for on there and not spread along a 5 year period. I want to be able to play them ALL, NOW, and for it to cost me NOTHING! If Sony can do it with PS1 games between the PSP and PS3 then Nintendo can do it with these games too.
What I want are far better games that what they're giving us so far. Donkey Kong jr., really?
Final Fantasy
Super Mario Bros. 2
Mother 1
Faxanadu
StarTropics
Final Fantasy
SMB 3
Castlevania
Phantasy Star
TMNT
I don't really care, since I already have all the ones I want on the Wii. But since they'll be free for me, I'll take whatever they want to give me. Some portable Mario 2 and 3 action would be nice.
Kid Icarus
Stuff
Kid Icarus
Mother 1
The Guardian Legend
Don't care; won't be redeeming them anyway. These are great games, but I want new experiences.
I think if a game has both a NES version and a GBA version, then they'll put the GBA version of it on since the NES version is already on the Wii's VC.
None. I have all the ones I want on the Wii already, no need to buy them again.
Kirby's Adventure and Earthbound Zero. Please Nintendo. You had that game ready. Bring it out finally! D:
Also: I own Super Mario Bros. only in that All Stars game, not the original. I have Ice Climber and Donkey Kong Jr. as eReader cards (which are missing, so I guess I don't have that)... And I don't have the rest. So, bascially, I'm getting new 'old' games :3
Lucky me.
Zelda II : The Adventure of Link
Castlevania
Dragon Warrior I, II and III (If this is possible)
Kirby's Adventure
Mega Man 1-5
SMB 3
Castlevania
Punch-Out!
Well, going on the assumption that Nintendo will only give us games made by Nintendo:
StarTropics I and II
Doki Doki Panic (Japanese SMB 2)
Kirby' Adventure (or whatever the NES game was called)
Zelda II
Tetris I and II
R.C. ProAm
Metroid
Wario Woods/Yoshi/Kirby puzzle games
final fantasy
kirby
metroid
megaman
smb3
smb the lost levels
punch out
kid icarus
zelda II
@Borgomon Wario Woods is the last NES game, isn't it?
Zelda 2 (one of my faves)
Donkey Kong Classics (DK I, DK Jr and DK 3)
Kid Icarus
Metroid
SMB 2 & 3
Pinball
@15:-
I'm one of those who doesn't own a Wii!
All my gaming is handheld and began with a DSLite - so anything they offer will be new for me, but Kid Icarus, Zelda II, Duck Tales and A Boy and His Blob sound like a good start.
What I want are far better games that what they're giving us so far. Donkey Kong jr., really?
Infamous
Wipeout HD
Dead Nation
Little Big Planet
and Super Stardust HD were the choices from Sony for the PSN outage. Five crappy games worth up to nothing but for what? Missing out on a month and a half of "fun" gaming because they can't keep their network safe from pirates? Oh and a free month of PSN+. Can't forget that! Nintendo's giving us anywhere up to $80 worth of free NES and GBA games for a price drop? That's what I'm talking about. I'm not only getting my money back but I'm getting 20 games of my choice to occupy me for months to come.
None. I have all the ones I want on the Wii already, no need to buy them again.
Try new ones out. They're free did you know that? Plus your getting 10 additional GBA for free.
Why do people have to complain even when they get 20 games for free? Ridiculous.
Kid Icarus
Zelda 2
Castlevania
Megaman (any)
Mario Bros 3 (the Lost Levels and Mario 2 wouln't be bad either )
Duck Hunt?
Super Mario Bros. 3 (Must tbh)
Super Mario Bros. 2
Kirby's Adventure
Kid Icarus (Just throwing it here, never played)
Metroid (Also throwing it out there as it's yet another title I haven't played)
Where is the love for Wrecking Crew?
Vice: Project Doom
Kid Icarus
Cobra Triangle
Ninja Gaiden I, II and III
StarTropics
Strider
Batman
Contra
Life Force
The Legend of Kage
Blaster Master
Battletoads
.... that would be a good start.
Why are so many of you listing 3rd party games? There's absolutely no reason to expect those, and every announced game (GBA or NES) has been 1st party. Why even bother mentioning Castlevania, etc?
Anyhow, I want Wario's Woods, which would be well suited to the portable format.
3D Classics
3D Classics Mario Bros (any or all)
3D Classics Duck Hunt
3D Classics Metroid
Other than the 3D Classics, I can't see myself getting any old games. :3
A shame "Contra" and "Ninja Gaiden" are not from Nintendo, would love to get those. Also any Kunio games would be most welcome, "River City Ransom" and "Kunio Soccer League 2" are awesome. "Gradius" would also be very cool to have. Ill just keep my fingers crossed.
I suppose everything available on virtual console would be a good start.
@Kid_Crono: Give everyone a break! People don't have to be excited about free games they already own. I may not have loved Infamous or Little Big Planet, but I would always choose them over DK Jr. Personally, I'm looking forward to my 20 free games. Still, others have every right to see this as inadequate compensation. I'm not "getting my money back" as you put it.
Again taking into account that it may just be Nintendo first-party games...
EarthBound (a.k.a. Mother, once again, I'm correcting the numbers. And hey, the game is actually completed and in a Nintendo vault somewhere.)
Metroid
Punch-Out!! (hopefully with Mike Tyson, but I'm not getting my hopes up for that)
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Dream Land
I tried to keep the franchises new and different, but I certainly woudln't complain if Super Mario Bros. 3 or Zelda II were there.
I've got a long list that would go on and on of NES games not yet released on Wii VC that I'm STILL waiting for and I generally prefer to play my NES games the way they were originally intended, on the TV.
But, in a perfect world, which I know is anything but, Squeenix would, at long last, unleash NES Final Fantasy II & III on the rest of the world! I'll take 'em translated, untranslated, Wii VC or 3DS VC. Doesn't matter to me! And gimme original, untouched SNES Final Fantasy V you also left us out of while you're at it! (although I know that's for a different thread).
Since it's more likely that I'll win Mega Millions tonight and get to retire 30 years early, I'll take the Dragon Warrior/Quest NES games! And lots of Capcom and Konami stuff (I'm talking about games not involved in the Ambassador program).
@Wariowoods
I was thinking the same thing, but I guess people are just too excited to talk sensibly.
@Kid_Crono
Well sorry for wanting games I'll actually play instead of crap that'll just sit rotting. I guess I better keep my mouth shut so I don't upset the people who'll play any crappy game Nintendo gives them.
And did you seriously call those 5 PSN games crap? That's the last straw man. I just can't take you seriously anymore. Anybody who calls Wipeout crap is dead to me.
EDIT: Those twenty games won't be your choice either, btw.
Just give us those that already are on the Wii VC. Shouldn't be that hard to write a decent Emulator for 3DS that makes it possible to port the Wii NES VC to 3DS.
Star Tropics
Adventures of Lolo
Zelda II
Punch-Out!!
Metroid
Infamous and Wipeout HD sit there and rot. Not everybody owns these games and its a nice treat from the company especially for people like me, who unfortunately missed out on the GBA. Plus they're free. Why would anyone complain about this?
Yes I did because I wanted variety from that long wait. But Sony failed to please me.
I don't know that many NES games. But I guess any Zelda, Mario and Metroid title would be good. I'd like to have Kid Icarus too since Uprising is coming out. Would be nice to play it's prequel even though they're nothing alike.
Punch-Out!!
Wrecking Crew
That's all I'd really care to see.
Well Nintendo failed to please me, so why can't I complain, huh?!
Seriously, what warioswoods said. Nintendo can release games they own for nothing, but they'd have to pay for giving us free third party games. No way they'd do that.
Anyway,
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Zelda II
Metroid
Punch-Out!!
Oops I posted everything over at the GBA post...I guess I can post it again:
Kid Icarus
Final Fantasy
Dragon Warrior
StarTropics
Devil World
Never said you couldn't I'm just saying all those games are free. Why complain when they're free? So what you already have them? I don't. And neither do a lot of people.
Donkey Kong Jr. Math 3D
That is all I want
Personally I hope they limit it to a 'one game per franchise' thing. I love both zelda 1 and 2, but I don't want both of them, especially if it takes up a slot.
Castlevania
Dragon Warrior
Tetris
Contra (Co-op on that game would be godly)
Lastly, either a 3D capable Rad racer, or Ninja Gaiden.
@Kid_Crono: Except that you were outraged when you saw that people were complaining who had legitimate reasons.

Mario Bros
SMB: The Lost Levels
Donkey Kong
Duck Hunt
Pinball
@uel
They are free. You dont have to download them. If you already own the games or "dislike" them and have a 3DS at this very moment, then its quite obvious your not losing anything. But like me I missed out on a few of these games, plus the GBA games, so this is great news which your not getting.
Other than that they only announced 5 games of the 10 so you might have something to look forward to. Plus the additional GBA games.
^I'm complaining because I don't like putting crap in my Backloggery that I'll never play. I can't delete them because that would be untruthful. I own them, therefore I must play them. It's a matter of principles man.
The user comments section has become such a bizarre place as of late. Well, more so than usual. I love it, so entertaining.
lol. Don't download them then. And if there is a game that you so happen to not own or have an interest in playing, play it. No one has to download anything. That's what I've been trying to say from the beginning.
I have to download them if I intend to get my money's worth. Not like I'll have a physical games to play.
1) Kirby's Adventure
2) Startropics
3) Punch Out
4) SMB 3
5) Any nintendo lightgun game (but, it would have touch screen controls)
That is very true. And whats wrong with that, eh? xD
Super Mario Bros. 3
Kid Icarus
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Contra
DuckTales
Donkey Kong Jr is actually fun, but some people are too young to be into it because it's so primitive. If you don't want it, don't get it, simple as that. They're giving (GIVING) you portable Zelda and Mario so be thankful. We could have gotten nothing at all, like the PSPGo owners got when their system price-dropped.
@Kid_Chrono Don't assume that I have a 3DS. Because I DON'T. I would have to buy them all again, which I won't. Also you're being awfully fanboyish/trollish.
A lot of people on forums/websites act fanboyish/trollish. I never assumed you did but IF you did then you shouldn't be complaining.
@CoolKing64
I have love for Wrecking Crew! It's been one of my NES favs for over 23 years! Have wanted Wrecking Crew '98 for years and hope it still comes as a Wii VC import one day. I could live with WC for an Ambassador game!

@Kid_Crono: You mention that these games are free but when you think about it they really aren't. The early adopters already paid for them. Nintendo lowering the price of the 3DS is an admission by them that they made a mistake by overpricing the console to begin with. This gesture of "free" games is their way of apologizing to their fans by compensating them for dropping the price significantly only a few months after the system launched. This is a gesture of goodwill to avoid a backlash of angry complaints and trying to keep their customers happy. I personally think that this is a good deal but I can understand why some people are still not completely satisfied with it. People have the right to voice their opinions, it is their money after all.
mario bros 3
Icarus (also put icarus 2 on GB virtual console!)
and BUBBLE BATH BABES!!!! XD just kidding....
...but seriously
@Kid_Crono
Just cause other people do it don't make it right, man. C'mon, I thought you had more sense than that.
Punch-Out!!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turltes II: The Arcade Game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Duck-Hunt (could work on 3DS using the touchscreen)
Batman (the Sunsoft game based off the movie)
"A lot of people on forums/websites act fanboyish/trollish." Oh, the irony!
Wow, you people need to stop whining. @mickeymac: That is some backwards logic. Not every person in the world is gonna be satisfied with this solution but I say it's fair. No one said you had to go out and buy a 3DS day 1 for $250. If people thought that was too much to pay for the system they shouldn't have bought one period. I know there are always those rabbid Nintendo fanboys who are gonna be there day one and feel slighted by the sudden price drop. I think the 20 games is a great compensation. I wish I had a 3DS because I would love to have those GBA games all on one system, without the need to carry the carts around.
@TheDarkness
Backwards? What? If you're not satisfied, you have every right to complain. This is a UK site, not Soviet Russia. I'm tired of people trying to silence me and others just because they don't agree with our opinions.
SMB3, SMB2 (japanese version), and anything else thats NOT Zelda 2
@TheDarkness: You're satisfied. Mickeymac is not. He (and everyone else) is just as entitled to voice his negative opinion of events as you (and everyone else) are to voice your positive one. Don't to read what you perceive as whining? Ignore it, please, and move on.
@TheDarkness
I agree with Mickeymac, you have to complain because how else would anything ever get done in this world?
Zelda II
Contra
Castlevania III
Super Mario Brothers 3
Bionic Commando / Mega Man II/III/IV / Ninja Gaiden
Totally dreaming - 3D Classics - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (I know it's SNES, but I would love the 3DS to be the ultimate Zelda handheld/console)
Nintendo took my 80 dollars, and then they gave me games that I already have in return.
I, for one, am satisfied with the ambassador program, but I can totally understand people who are not. I mean, some people don't even like retro games. I don't understand these people, but they exist.
It is a bit lame that there's no system in place to migrate games purchased from the Wii Shop to the 3DS. This was a non-issue because the eShop seemed like it was only going to offer classic handheld titles, but now that NES games have come into the picture, I feel a bit taken advantage of. I personally can't complain because I'll be getting the games for free, but I've already paid for The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. What gives?
Dragon Warrior
Dragon Warrior II
Dragon Warrior III
Dragon Warrior IV
Sweet Home
Unfortunately, none of these have even the faintest of chances.
I hadn't made the connection that it will only be first party titles. My apologies. But then again, it instantly filters down what's most likely to be on the list. I'd be perfectly happy with
(I think these are first party ones, they're all first in the series)
Dragon Warrior
Final Fantasy
Mach Rider (I have a sneaking suspiscion this will make the list as it was an original launch title)
Metroid
Lastly, I still want rad racer. Funny thing is, I've heard if you press select while playing on an NES, it goes 3D. Red and blue lines appear, so this also wouldn't surprise me if we got this. If we did, my money's on it being in the THIRD DIMENTION!
IT'S LIKE i CAN TOUCH YOU!
Punch Out!
Rambo
Super Mario Bros. 3
Final Fantasy
Guardian Legend
Lastly, Donkey Kong rather than Donkey Kong Jr.
Well, if I had to choose the other 5 they would be:
Mega Man 2
Super Mario Bros 2 (The proper one, not the Doki Doki Panic clone)
Super Mario Bros 3
Kirby's Adventure
Tetris.
The NES had a lot to offer.
Now to hope and pray Nintendo publish SNES games XD
Also, I hope that these games use the whole of the upper screen. I mean, if Nintendo can port them to the Wii to display in 16:9 then surely they can make the NES and GBA Ambassador games use the full screen.
Much like the GBA games I think they'll keep these to Nintendo games only, so:
Kid Icarus
1943
Double Dragon
DD2
Metroid
Castlevania
Scrooge McDuck
I'm tired of people trying to silence me and others just because they don't agree with our opinions.
If that applies to you then it does to everyone else.
"A lot of people on forums/websites act fanboyish/trollish." Oh, the irony!
Thanks for proving my point. xD But if there's something everyone's missing its the fact that Nintendo could've dropped the price tag and not given us anything what-so-ever.
^I never said it doesn't.
^Nope. It's a Rare game anyways.
Isn't Donkey Kong also a Rare game. If so how come only Nintendo publishes those games
^Because Nintendo still owns the rights to Donkey Kong for whatever reason.

Any first party game is cool with me
im hoping nintendo will let ambassadors pick 5 games from a selection of many for free plus the stated 5.
Oh god, they have multiplayer, too?!
;3; Nintendo, I love you so much!
@dawnpatch: Dear god I loved River City Ransom for GBA. Imma whip dem fools wit my chain! >8U
They should Bring out "crystalis" the original for the nes
Such a great game that not many people know about....how sad
Earthbound! that would be fun. And also Kid Icarus!
All 3 Castlevanias
Both Contras
All 4 Dragon Quests
Life Force/Salamander
that's be ideal. Hundreds of hours of gameplay, amazing run and guns, friggin' castlevania, and my favorite NES shoot em up.
@rapadash6 is right. If Apple and Sony give you universal access to all their library why can't Nintendo provide that? Nintendo should provide their entire back catalogue online (new titles too). I want Dragon Quest and Kid Icarus
@Dimi I'd be willing to wager a sizeable portion of cake that Nintendo's entire back catalogue is rather larger and more riddled with licensing difficulties than either Sony's or Apple's
Surely we should get the option to buy all NES games currently available on the Wii Virtual console.
As for the ambassador program, in addition to the 5 already confirmed, I'd like any of the following:
SMB2
SMB3
NES Open Tournament Golf
StarTropics I & II
I assume they have to be Nintendo developed games in order to be given out for free. Otherwise, I'd really like whoever's in charge to get round to releasing Nintendo World Cup on the Western download services.
I predict (wosrt case scenario) we'll probably get Soccer, Baseball, Tennis, Hockey and Pinball.
Those confirmed games look dull (I've played the original Zelda to death - I don't need to play it again...) - The GBA games more than make up for that.
Yeah, I am a little annoyed that I have already bought some of these games twice (once on the NES, once on Wii VC), now Nintendo has the hide to give me some of these for free in return for ripping me off on my 3DS. Can't say I really care that much, but it is totally understandable that there are those that are upset by this.
Also, they should surprise us and make the next 5 SNES games!!
Megaman 5 and 6
Kid Icarus
Zelda II (only because I don´t have it, terrible game)
Startropics 2 (a sequel for another terrible game)
I already have the rest of the playable NES games, except the good Capcom Disney games which won´t be released.
Mega Man 2
Contra
Mario 3 or 2, i dont care there both awesome
Bomberman (Since it was the first game I ever played)
and Mike Tysons Punch Out (But I know they will make it Mr Dreams Punch Out)
duck hunt should be included with super mario bros, as it would be nice with the 3ds zapper. it woud not make a good full game, it would leave us with 19 games and 1... half-game
startropics 1 and 2 ples.
I don't care for NES games. Most of them look and play horroble aged. Additionally, what about the people already owning a bunch of NES games via Wii's Virtual Console? I already own all the NES games I consider worth owning and playing from the Wii NES VC library.
They should have made 10 free downloads for all the 3DS Virtual Console content + 10 free GBA games.
I want Metroid, Final Fantasy, EarthBound (Mother) and Kid Icarus.
AD&D Pool of Radiance.
River City Frickin' Ransom.
Five epic video games from the Nintendo Entertainment System.
'Nuff said.
Give us Bible Adventures and we won't need anything else :3
@zezzy: #144 Bible Adventures is already available free to play online, & considering what it's status was on the NES(unlicensed), I doubt Nintendo would do that. But I assume you're joking.
Anyway, the games I'd want are:
Super Mario Bros. 2 Japan, 2(western), & most importantly 3
Metroid
Kirby's Adventure
Zelda II
Tetris 2
Mega Man 3
Pipe Dream
@zezzy: Even better, give us that Noah's Ark game by Konami.
Gauntlet
Castlevania
Kirby's Adventure
Metroid
Final Fantasy
SMB 2
SMB lost Levels.
SMB 3
Kirby's adventure
Final fantasy.
Those plus the five were allready getting, and I will play for days and days.
Kid Icarus
Metroid
Wario's Woods
Zelda 2
Castlevania
Mother
super mario kart
Earthbound
Duck Hunt
Metroid
Dragon Quest
My favorite NES game of all time, the infamous unlicensed Tengen Tetris, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that will never happen - it's for games like that, I still boot my old NES toaster system from time to time!
I always thought that Zapper games such as Duck Hunt or Hogan's Alley, would work great on the DS platform. Their absence on the Wii Virtual Console would make them very lucrative buys for owners of both systems.
I'd like Punch-out!! and Duck Hunt (if possible), otherwise I've pretty much already got all the 1st party NES games I want from Wii's Virtual Console.
1.Life Force Salamander

These are the games i'd like to see get released on the 3DS's VC for the NES. I know most are highly unlikely due to licensing issues and etc but it would be nice if Nintendo made a effort to release other games like these on the 3DS VC, i'm sure they can. I already own most of Nintendo's 1st party games due to still owning my NES, plus downloadiong the ones I hadn't off of the Wii's VC. I just hope Nintendo doesn't just release all the games that are on the Wii's VC for NES straight over the the 3DS VC.
And Kung-fu )
Only a handful as I have just about all I want on the WiiVC. HOWEVER, I may be drawn to the option of playing them on a handheld, - which I would prefer.
1. Metroid
2. Kirby's Adventure
3. StarTropics
4. Super Mario Bros. 3
5. Kid Icarus
The title asks for NES games - implying they want to know about NES games in general - hence:
Super Mario Bros. 1 & 3
Metroid
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Also maybe: Ninja Gaiden, Paperboy and Duck Tales
Punch Out!
Kid Icarus
StarTropics
River City Ransom
If possible, I'd love Contra on there too. I would ask for Metroid and Kirby's Adventrue, but both of those are also on the GBA with updated graphics. Zero Mission even had the original Metroid on it with old-school graphics and everything else.
Nice Talking Point.
My picks only include five Ambassador games i haven't got yet and which are already on the VC. Since imo the 3DS' VC shouldn't get exclusive NES titles.
And since they are already on the Wii's VC i think they could even include third party titles.
But Mega Man 5 or Castlevania IIi would be welcome additions too.
EXCITEBIKE! :B
Super Mario Bros. 3
Kirby's Adventure
Kid Icarus
Super Mario Bros. 2
I can't pick another one for sure, but maybe Zelda II or Mega Man. I don't know if Capcom would agree with them, though.
California Raisins: The Grape Escape and Drac's Night Out.

I'd love to see Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, but I doubt they could re-elease that. If anything expect Punch-Out (with Mr. Dream).
I'm happy with Nintendo choosing my ten NES games, as I know they'll be quality titles regardless. I'm also sure of the NES games they WON'T include:
-They won't include the arcade Mario Bros., due to Super Mario Advance 3 being confirmed. Each Super Mario Advance title (and Mario & Luigi) has Mario Bros. built-in, so no surprises there.
-As much as I adore Kirby's Adventure (and I do...very much), if Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is included then there's no point in including Adventure since Nightmare is an enhanced remake.
-Pokemon Maroon and Teal Versions won't be included since those two NES games don't exist in this reality (could you imagine the import charges our Nintendos would have to pay? Goom-buh KE-BOO!! You owe us $1 Octillion!!)
Mega Man 2, Kid Icarius, and Kirby's Adventure.
Would also like to see Battletoads, but I highly doubt that will ever happen.
Batman: The Video Game
Super Mario Bros. 3*
Super Mario Bros. 2*
Arkista's Ring
And for the love of God, add a button-mapping menu, or at least the button options provided in Super Game Boy!
*Original versions without voices or script changes.
Replacing "Oh thank heavens" with "Oh splendid" in the Advanced versions?! Really, Nintendo? Really?!

(if only we also got SNES classics, too)
NES Classics (not just the Ambassador games):
Adventures in the Magic Kingdom
Balloon Fight (and Balloon Kid on the GB Virtual Console too please)
Any Batman title (VERY unlikely)
Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge
Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (and the Castlevania games on the GB Virtual Console as well please)
Contra (and its sequels)
Day Dreamin' Davey (hey, it's from HAL Labs, so it's a subsidiary of Nintendo)

the Double Dragon games
Dr. Mario
Dragon Power (based on the Dragon Ball anime)
DUCK HUNT (holy crap, what is the licensing trouble with this game? Just get it out there already!!)
DuckTales (GB version too please)
Earthbound Zero (like a number of other folks said)

Gold Metal Challenge '92 (perfect multiplayer game)
The Goonies II

Magic Johnson's Fast Break (which had the capability for four players to play simultaneously)
M.C. Kids
Metroid (preferrably with the original password system intact)
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (unlikely)
NES Open Tournament Golf
NES Play Action Football (a weird choice, but someone might remember that one)
Nintendo World Cup
Popeye
River City Ransom
Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular! (the least likely on this list, if they put Snoopy's Magic Show on the GB Virtual Console I'd be deliriously happy)
Super C
Super Dodge Ball
Super Mario Bros. 2 (why not?)
Tecmo Bowl
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (the ONLY licensed game on Virtual Console on Wii to my knowledge)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
The Three Stooges
Tiny Toon Adventures
Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Trouble in Wackyland
Wacky Races
Where's Waldo?
Wrecking Crew
Mario & Yoshi (known as just Yoshi here in the States)
Yoshi's Cookie (GB version of this game and Yoshi as well please)
Yes, a goodly number of these games are stuck in licensing hell, but if there could be one super major LEGAL way to buy many of these games (not just NES, but SNES, N64, Genesis/MegaDrive, Sega CD/Mega CD, etc.) and still give money where it should and needs to go, then I'm all for it, even if it's a collection that I have to play on a game system or PC or whatever.

^I applaud you on your list making capabilities, good sir.
I'd like to see the following:
1.)Kirby's Adventure
2.)Super Mario Bros 1-3
3.)Dragon Warrior 1-3
4.)Zelda of course
5.)Castlevania 1-3
That's all I can think of that would be worth it.
Super Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong Jr.
Balloon Fight
Ice Climber
The Legend of Zelda
Are they serious? these are the worst between the worst, these that they will never be able to sell not even by 50 cents. And they are trying to compensate 100€ with all that garbage?
Well come on these games are what defined gaming anyway
and they're gonna be free aren't they? So why not take em'?
Tall order coming up, so Nintendo it'd be wise to grab your notebook:
Nintendo Entertainment System:
All zapper games (maybe into a compilation?)
Freedom Force
Duck Hunt
Double Dragon 1 through 3
Arkanoid (original had a controller for this, maybe implement screen rather than default cross pad?)
Super Nintendo:
Uniracers
Super Double Dragon
Star Fox 1 AND 2
Tetris and Dr. Mario
Super High Impact
Virtual Boy:
Galactic Pinball
Red Alarm
Teleroboxer
3d Tetris
Nintendo 64:
Killer Instinct Gold
Tetrisphere
New Tetris
Goldeneye
Extreme G 2
Freak Boy (game that was never finished, but would love to see it.)
CONTRA ! CONTRA !! CONTRA !!!
Did your head xplode yet? I only list the heavy hitters, so get ready:
Super C
Castlevania
Mega Man 2
Ninja Gaiden
Punch-Out
BTW, the very only NES games of any interest for me are:
Maze Of Galious (probably never translated from Japanese) <- MSX version of this one is what La Mulana is based on
Castlevania 1 and 2
Gradius 1 and 2
Metal Gear 1
Ups, not a single Nintendo game in the list
all i can say is im not buying my nes games on virtual console again there is no reason nintendo couldnt allow those who purchased them on wii virtual console already to play them on 3ds other than greed. Playstation does this why cant nintendo. If nintendo keeps this up they will suffer.
@Mandoble: Isn't your avatar Link from NES' The Legend of Zelda ?
No, it is from Konami's Maze Of Galious for MSX
Good to know. Thanks a lot.

Some people will hate me for saying this, but I could have done without the NES games! NES games are already on Wii vc, and every NES game on 3DS vc means a GB or GBC game less!
Metroid
Kid Icarus
Dragon Warrior
Final Fantasy
Kirby's Adventure
Pro Wrestling
Star Tropics
Mega Man 6
I'm hoping some of these games are part of the 10 provided by Nintendo for us 3DS owners. I think Metroid and Kid Icarus have the best chances as they are published directly by Nintendo. Also if we could get at least one of the RPGs that would be really awesome and a Mega Man game too.
I'm way late to this party, but in case Ninty is tallying things up, here are my votes:
Super Mario Bros. 3 (unless we're getting the Advance version)
Dr. Mario
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Punch Out!!
...and as alternates:
StarTropics 2
NES Open Tournament Golf
Wrecking Crew
Super Mario Bros. 2
Kid Icarus
Metroid
Kirby's Adventure
Dragon Warrior
Super Mario Bros. 3
Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! (not Mr. Dream)
Mother (easier to bring over than Earthbound, would work better in a retail compilation)
Contra
Super C
Bionic Commando
Gargoyle's Quest II
I want:
Punch-Out
SMB 1,3
Mega Man 2
Kirby's Adventure
and most of all
Dragon Warrior IV! Pleasepleaseplease at least bring it to Wii VC.
