Virtually Overlooked poll: Five games enter, one game leaves

You've seen everyone's picks, sure, but of all the games listed, which one do you most want on the Virtual Console? Each member of the Wii Fanboy staff has selected one of their top five VC picks -- now you get to decide which game is the most desired of all those featured during Virtually Overlooked week (it's totally StarTropics).
But what if the game you most wanted isn't listed here? Then let us know about your real pick in the comments, but go ahead and vote (for StarTropics), because, hey -- we need to be ranked by you. It fulfills us (especially if you vote for StarTropics).
No subliminal messages were harmed in the writing of this poll.

anyone that didn't choose saturn bomberman doesn't know what they're missing
ITS 12 PLAYERS SIMULTANEOUS PLAY. Wii could handle 8 player deathmatch!!

Even though I've played Earthworm Jim way too much I chose it because it's such a WAY COOL game. And the TV show was great too. And Doug TenNapel rocks (play The Neverhood!). And it's by Shiny. And...I could go on and on. Ooh. The Neverhood. That would be another good game for VC. If PC games ever get on there, that would be my first pick.

Nothing was better than making the goons barf in River City.

River City Ransom.
BARF... 'nuff said.

I wanted to vote for Earthbound, but my hand unconsciously voted for Star Tropics even though I've never played it, how conveniently odd.

I voted for Star Tropics, a game I've never heard of, but my real vote goes to Sega Shadowrun. I loved that game, though maybe I'm the only one. (I'd also buy the Nintendo Shadowrun game, which, for anyone who doesn't remember, was completely different than the Sega game.)

I've never played any of those games...

I want to make a special plug for overlooked sports games....games that could make it to the VC with out any roster change issues....how about Super Dodge Ball....that games friggin ruled. One player or two player, it was equally as fun. You can beat it fairly quickly, but it has tremendous replay value since you can switch your players around into different combinations. Though, I did vote for Star Tropics since I played the crap out of that game back in the day. I hadn't thought about it until I saw the piece on it the other day. Awesome game, just no Super Dodge Ball.

Seriously, its all about Herzog Zwei.
Awesome game. Simply awesome.

Youre also the "high commander", which is a nice homage to 3rd Rock From The Sun. (Well. Now it is.)

You guys are presented with the chance to ask for an official translation of Seiken Densetsu 3 and you want Earthworm Jim? I know EWJ is good and all, but there had never been an official SD3 before, and SoM was *so good*! Won't you please tell Nintendo we want more of Square's SNES masterpieces?

oh ****. I wanted to vote star tropics, but I had to vote river city ransom because it was just such an original combination of an RPG and a fighting game. and DAMN those graphics were dope.
Fred @ Jun 16th 2007 3:40PM
Now that i think of it, a really good N64 fighting/RPG game was Hybrid Heaven:

My real vote goes to earthbound, but I voted for Star Tropics because it's like earthbound without the humor, and it's probably my favorite game out of all of the above listed.
And how is it like earthbound you might ask? More action than rpg... But the hero you might notice uses a baseball bat and yo-yo as his primary weapon! As well, isntead of Ness saving the universe, it's Mike, both 4 letter one-syllable names. And both games are pretty great! :D

Awww, and I tried so hard to plug my StarTropics!

I voted for EWJ, but that's just because that's the only one I've played :). I think they should get Super Mario RPG on the VC, though. That would be freakin awesome.
