I think games like the original Smash Bros and the original Mario Kart would be good to release NOW, AFTER people have fallen in love with (and bought) the Wii successors. But that's just me.
I'm not looking to buy many VC titles that I didn't own when they were originally released, but 'Lost Vikings' is one that sounds pretty cool. I'd actually give it a shot.
Bomberman Generation for the GameCube has a great single player mode while still including a really fun and addictive multiplayer mode with great powerups. I'm hoping for a WiiWare version that continues the fine Bomberman tradition!
Based on the screenshots, this WiiWare version looks to be really really fun! Mii support? Eight players? I'm excited... 8D

Fun, fun, fun! You can find "tips" for food and items online fairly easily. (I would put a link here, but there's no need to advertise another website.)
With 'guess who' you could have 'advanced modes' (i.e. Give the players MII faces instead of colors and whoever lines up four of the same face would win. That way one player could 'steal' the win from the other player.) Four player? Online play? I dunno. Just thoughts.
@ thewiirocks: Actually, gameplay footage of the PS2 game doesn't look horrible. I'll wait for the review here, but the odd/stylized graphics look much better in motion that they do in screenshots.

You may be on to something Tony.
Re: Nintendo Responds To US Release Date Queries
"Nintendo has no respect for third party publishers/developers and no respect at all for their customers"
@Jon: Saddening, but accurate.
(I should clarify that my comments are strictly concerning Nintendo of America.)
Re: Mega Man Finally Out On Monday In USA
Oh well, back to Soldier Blade
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic (Master System) and Splatterhouse 2
"I just wonder how you manage to deal with life."
It's stressful.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Wild West Guns
Where my game is at?
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic (Master System) and Splatterhouse 2
NoA needs to make a public apology.

Re: Wild West Guns
This looks like 'Lethal Enforcers' or maybe 'Link's Crossbow Training' gameplay with a 'wild west' setting. Not bad. Not bad.

Re: Official Potpourrii Trailer
This looks like multiplayer would be the way to play. I'm not sure why anyone would play single player unless they didn't have anyone around.
Re: OFLC Update: Wonder Boy in Monster Land
@Adamant: Or maybe Consonly?
Re: Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures - WiiWare Bound?

@BassXO:
Exactly.
Re: Reggie Says Storage Issue Isn't Only For Geeks And Otaku!
@ Raptor78
I use one of mine for a USB keyboard as well. (A keyboard is immensely useful!)
@ hansolo350
I really, really hope we see something soon... I'd be happy with a simple SD-card-play update.
@ Raptor78
My personal hope is an update that allows us to use USB HDDs. USB 'splitters' are easy to find if anyone needs additional ports...
Re: Top 10 Racing Games We Want To Come To The Virtual Console
Personally, I want to see SUPER MARIO KART (SNES) and SAN FRANCISCO RUSH 2049 (Dreamcast).

Re: Datel Release Retro Controllers for Virtual Console
It's most likely ME, but I can't get S&P to play smoothly at all...
Re: Alien Crush Returns - More Details
Without a storage solution I'm only downloading SBCG4AP, but this looks very promising!
Re: Bomberman Looks Like A Blast
Online? Eight player? Mii support? Sounds like a winner...
Re: Ninja Commando
We need Ikari Warriors!
Re: Bomberman Looks Like A Blast
Looking good....

We need some secrets...
Re: Plättchen Twist 'n' Paint
Bplus: Trailer please? 1500 points is a HUGE gamble considering there is NO information. (What is Bplus thinking?)
Re: Plättchen Will Be Twisting And Turning In July
Bring it on! (Plättchen and SBCG4AP look really promising.)
@KnucklesSonic8 - What? The bongo-control has been removed?
Re: Miyamoto Gives His Thoughts On WiiWare
I've been waiting for Burger Time for months! I'd definitely buy it.
Burger Time! Burger Time!

Re: Donkey Kong 3
This is very different, but not horrible.
Re: Mega Man 9 Is Coming To WiiWare In Retro Style
I'm excited to see what they do with all of the 'new' series stuff in the 'old' format. Good news. Good news.
Re: Telltale Games Interview - Strong Bad's Cool Game
I can't wait for a storage solution and Strong Bad's game. Bring 'em both on!
Re: World Of Goo Will Not Be Released On WiiWare In Europe!
Wow, World of Goo looks to be in serious trouble now. I'm not sure who thought this would be a good idea...
Sounds like NoE is actively trying to kill "Wii Software" ("WiiWare").
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Gyrostarr
I hope Nintendo solves the storage situation. This actually looks really interesting.

Re: Only Geeks And Otaku Want Extra Storage On The Wii
Only geeks and otaku have easy solutions...
Re: LostWinds Is Best-Selling Euro WiiWare Title
Seriously, if it weren't for VC:R and WW:W, Nintendo would sell a lot less!
Re: Nintendo Channel Gets An Update
@BDPatVCR
The message Nintendo sent out specifically says so.

Re: US VC Release - 16th June - Samurai Shodown
We DO need a storage solution if Nintendo expects people to download anything further...
Re: Otakugate – The Saga Continues
@Bensei - Maybe George Clooney had a child with David Hasselhoff and named it Laurent.
Re: Cocoto Fishing Master
So I guess they were play-testing on a PS2? That doesn't give me much hope for the controls being decent...at all.
Re: Otakugate – The Saga Continues
HE DID NOT APOLOGIZE. He simply "regrets the misunderstanding within the community". He said WE made the mistake, not him!

He said nothing.
Re: Hands-On With Eternity's Child
Someone listened to A LOT of Elfman's work before they wrote that soundtrack!
Re: Only Geeks And Otaku Want Extra Storage On The Wii
@Jon "Laurent Fischer needs to quit his job, now!"
I would like a formal apology from Laurent Fischer and a reduction in his salary...but that's just me.
Re: WiiWare Publishers Lament Release Date Shambles
I forgot to mention the money train to money town comment. Very humorous.
Re: WiiWare Publishers Lament Release Date Shambles
NoA needs to be more forthcoming with developers/publishers! Not knowing when your own game is to be released?
Re: Nintendo Channel Finally Comes to Europe
The Nintendo Channel isn't bad; it's just not the 'next big thing' some people were hoping for.
