The Top 10 Virtual Console Games

The plan was to make a video detailing what people generally believe to be the best games available on the Virtual Console. I polled the users on vc-forums.com and they nominated and voted for each game seen in this top 10 list. They could nominate any games they wanted, as long as it was available on the North American Virtual Console before June 8th, 2009 (when the polling started). For further details on the rules of the voting and who voted for what, see these links:

For practical purposes, here are the games in the vid, with their price points from the Wii Shop Channel:
Super Mario Bros. 3 - 500 Wii Points
Shining Force - 800 Wii Points
Super Mario 64 - 1000 Wii Points
Paper Mario - 1000 Wii Points
ActRaiser - 800 Wii Points
Mega Man 2 - 500 Wii Points
Super Mario World - 800 Wii Points
The Legend of Zelda: ALTTP - 800 Wii Points
Secret of Mana - 800 Wii Points
The Legend of Zelda: OOT - 1000 Wii Points

wait, wheres majora's mask

[MattNOYB]

@JVGM98 It wasn't on the Virtual Console at the time voting for this video was happening.

Enjoyed the efficient way you went through the list. Informative too. One critique, don't pronounce acronyms as words. "S.N.E.S.," not "s-ness."

[MattNOYB]

@bfsnorlax Thank you. And yes, it's an old habit. I still remember an old speech I gave where I called the World Health Organization "WHO" instead of "W. H. O." A little too much efficiency in that respect, I suppose. >_<

Is It Good Idea To Buy Castlevania IV, Final Fantasy III and Secret of Mana, Because l dont like Chrono Trigger

[MattNOYB]

@MrGameguy001 It's hard to say if those are good choices based solely on the knowledge that you don't like Chrono Trigger. You may not like Final Fantasy III if you don't like Chrono Trigger since they are somewhat similar in gameplay. But yeah, all three games are all considered quite good so chances are higher that you will like them than not.

It seems silly to me to have a top 10 best virtual console list when half of it is obviously going to be the Mario and Zelda games that everyone already knows about. There are plenty of other really good games available in the virtual console that never get the attention they deserve. I'd love to see a top 10 forgotten or unknown gems list for the virtual console.

@RustyKoi Chrono Trigger wasn't out of the time of this list and I'm not sure about the other ones.

[WeirdAlYankoviced]

I'd put for my top three:

3. Ocarina of Time

2. Chrono Trigger

1. Final Fantasy VI (III)

WHY IS donkey kong country not on here, Pathetic!

[ChugokuAru]

Thanks! I might get those games now. Another game I liked was Capcom's Super Street Fighter II. I can't stop playing!

Smb 3 is better than all of the ones ahead of it besides zelda ocorina of time and super mario world
