I highly support Terranigma for VC release.
That was a joke.

That's kind of a weird list for the NP staff.

Although Rocket Knight Adventures is a great game.
Ditto used Machop!

I agree that Wily Wars is a pretty weird choice. The Genesis versions of MM1-3 might have had somewhat of a graphical edge (not much), but the control and physics were all messed up.
That was a joke.

Reader results are amazing, though I find the lack of Star Fox 2 disturbing, but you can't win them all I guess. EarthBound in 1st, that's awesome.

But yeah, the NP staff's choices are strange. Although Terranigma might be good (third in the Soul Blazer trilogy. Illusion of Gaia was the second), and at least they included Super Mario RPG on that list.
You didn't say wot wot.

Terranigma is supposed to be excellent, and I would like to be able to play it in English without emulating it on a computer.
Star Fox 2 needs to come out too, although that might require better emulation than they have right now. But it might not.
That was a joke.

I'm still waiting for the first Star Fox.

Wait...did they completely finish Star Fox 2 before canning it?

From what I hear, Star Fox is still pretty tough for us to emulate accurately, so there's a good chance Nintendo is running into problems with it, too. If they're actually trying, that is.

Star Fox emulation was reasonably perfected a long time ago. Granted, Star Fox 2 uses the Super FX 2 rather than just Super FX, but still.
And yeah, Star Fox 2 was finished. I would argue that it's more fun and has better music than the original. Too bad they decided to shelf it in favor of Star Fox 64.
That was a joke.

Random observation. All of the games on that list except for Majora's Mask are RPGs. ...Oh well! *has recently started playing Chrono Trigger and runs off to play more*

Edit: Well, I feel silly. NP basically said the same thing. Guess I should've waited until I had the issue before posting.
