Super Stars Wars for 800 points
The first of a series of star wars games for the SNES Super Star Wars has finally made the long trip onto the Wii virtual console. Originally released mid 1992; the game featured Luke and his journey from Mos Elis to the trench run on the death star. From what I remember when I first bought the game in 92, it was not the most forgiving game and several levels had its share of bottomless pits to stumble into. All three games shared a similar art style and pulled from the Star Wars universe pretty successfully.

Earthbound on the Wii?
The SNES game Earthbound was released in '95 and has gathered many hardcore fans over the years. Even though its a popular classic it has yet to show on Wiis Virtual Console as a download. One issue is the use of copyrighted material in the original game; something that gave it charm but has also caused alot of legal hangups for having it re-released. Earthboundcentral has a great look at some examples of the problems they had when they were getting it released to an american market the first time around.
