I must be the only one here who remembers this game. I checked back the year later only to see that the game hadn't come back. But now it is back, I will play it again! The addition of Indie Games DLC is great.
I was hoping that they would put some of the VB games on WiiWare, but it would also be cool if they put them on 3DSWare (or whatever they will call it.)
I just bought it. I also tried the demo app on my friend's iPhone. The game is great on the DSi, but the iPhone versions visuals are much better. This seems the case with all of Gameloft's releases. 8/10 is just the right score.
Coincidentally, I bought an XBox 360 yesterday, and today it stopped reading discs. I will have to replace it, according to MS Support, and never once have I had to replace a console before.. My Wii still works as well as it did on the day I bought it.
EDIT: I put a game into it today and it said, to play this game please insert it into an Xbox 360 console!
1) Nearly everything [that is possible] already mentioned above, especially DK64.
2) Mario & Wario (SNES) - since it was completely in English and looks like the Mario VS Donkey Kong DS games - would be interesting to play and it could use a Wii Remote or USB Mouse as a pointer to replace the SNES mouse.
3) How about some of the Satellaview games - Mario Excitebike anyone? These games were never available in the west, so they could be in Hanabi Festivals.
Chicken Brutus - No the game will probably not be taken off the site, just it won't be available for others to download. (In Europe we had a Metroid Preview channel which was removed from the shop a long time ago but can still be redownloaded from the 'Titles You Have Downloaded' screen.)
Also, Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels was also taken off the EU shop (and put back on again later) but I know it was still downloadable for those who bought it before.
I might now get this game when it arrives in Europe. (the only other racing game here is SPOGS.) Good review though. Shame on no classic controller support.
This one was obviously going to turn up. In the week that the Master System came to Virtual Console the shop channel said "The Master system was home to Alex Kidd, A special version of Sonic............" - So they must intend to put it on.

Re: Christmas-themed Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing Trailer
Sorry, Rare have already said that Banjo is an Xbox 360 exclusive. That now leads the question to me: Which platform should I get this game for?
Re: Review: Oscar in Toyland (DSiWare)
I'd like to see a gameplay video, but the only one on Youtube is the trailer.

Re: Cyber-Squatter Uses PSPgo's Web Domain to Pimp DSi
This is simply a link to NoA's official DSi Site. Right click and select page source and see for yourself. Nintendo won't have any reason to complain.

Re: Retro Gamer Looks Back at the Virtual Boy
I'd like to try some of the Virtual Boy games - particularly VB Wario Land and Mario Crash. It would be good if they could be put on VC.
Anyway, great article! I have read some issues of Retro Gamer before.
Re: Miyamoto: Have Confidence in Us
I wonder what they will use it for..
Re: Donkey Kong Land III
Another great game. This was one of the best Rare titles on the Gameboy.
Re: Super Mario Land
This game was excellent.. and still is! The levels are amazing and I still play it often.

Re: UK Games Rating System To Get Simpler
Will other European regional game ratings services like USK be the next to face the axe?
Re: Pop Island Coming to DSiWare
This should be great, I hope it comes out in Europe soon.
Re: Nintendo Rejects Intellivision Lives for DSiWare
An 'other' category in VC with collections of games would allow this to be put on the Virtual Console.
Re: The Three Musketeers: One For All!
The graphics look like those of Super Paper Mario.
Re: The Giana Sisters are back on DS after a long sabbatical
Now, also release the original C64 version onto Virtual Console!
Re: Play Eternity’s Child Prequel – For Free!
If you have expensive internet data costs, then the game becomes anything but free.
