Hudson Wants To Know Which Virtual Console Games You Want

By Spencer . February 13, 2009 . 4:45pm

Hudson Wants To Know Which Virtual Console Games You Want A few e-mails got sent over to us (thanks everyone!!) about Hudson dropping Virtual Console support in North America to focus on WiiWare. Don’t worry they aren’t giving up on releasing classics! We asked Mike Pepe, Director of Marketing, about the rumor. Here’s what he had to say:

 

“Although WiiWare has been very successful for Hudson we have every intention to continue supporting Virtual Console.  We are very pleased with the service and are happy to make available products that have been fan favorites in the past.  Creating new games on WiiWare and releasing past ones on VC are two separate initiatives that we intend to support.”

 

Pepe also asked which Hudson games we would like to see on the Virtual Console and offered to pass over the favorites to the development teams in Japan. Post suggestions in the comments! We’re going to compile a list and send it to Hudson next week.

 

I guess I’ll start with Faxanadu, but that’s probably a licensing pipe dream so I’ll go with the unreleased Adventure Island 4.

    Hey Hudson. I want Rondo of Blood from you guys, and Herzog Zwei from whoever is currently responsible for it not currently being on the Virtual Console. That's pretty much it, and I'll be very happy with the Virtual Console. :)

    Since you happen to be responsible for one of those two games, why not give us what we've been kicking and screaming about since it was released in Japan nearly an entire year ago, huh? -_^

  • Fan

    Dungeon Explorer II for the TG-16CD

  • Nick

    Mario Party 1,2,&3 especially 3…but all of them are great. Of Hudson will do the world a favor by releasing them, I'd be unbelevable happy and actually if they do get released, every n64 game I owned would be on the virtual console except pokemon stadium 1&2, super smash bros, and DK64 but those aren't up to Hudson so please Hudson release these games.

  • Clint

    I would like to see: Castlevania Dracula X rondo of Blood, Bomberman 64, Bomberman Hero, and the other Adventure Island games on NES.

    Castlevania; Rondo of Blood wil make you a lot of money. You should release it in the US.

    |sf>I appreciate the large number of games that Hudson has given us, especially the five-player games. As far as a list of interests, here are my suggestions in order of preference. Some of them have already been mentioned by others, but I'll repeat them for good measure.

    Magical Chase (TGX)
    Dungeon Explorer II (TGX-CD)
    Parasol Stars (TGX)
    Klax (TGX)
    Truxton II (TGX Import)
    Legendary Axe II (TGX)
    Super Bomberman (SNES)
    Raiden Trad (TGX)

    I don't know if Hudson has any influence at all with these last titles, but I thought I'd mention them just in case they have a voice in the matter.

    Dragon's Fury (Genesis) (It's the remake of Devil's Crush with different bonus tables.)
    Dragon's Revenge (Genesis) (It's the sequel to Devil's Crush.)

  • Art_de_Cat

    I would love to see the following:

    Bomberman 64- great game even if the gold cards were frustrating on some levels.
    Faxanadu- Always wanted to play this from the NES era.

  • masterLEON

    I hope it's not too late to vote. I just want to say that I'll name my first born son 'Hudson' if Hudson releases (and translated, if possible, like Chronicles) Akumajo Dracula X Chi No Rondo on VC!

    Also, if they release the following games, Hudson's middle name will be 'Bomberman':
    Cotton
    Parasol Stars
    Bomberman 64
    Popful Mail
    Ys III and IV (translated, of course)
    Spriggan Mk II
    Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire
    Legendary Axe I & II
    Parodius
    Super Darius I and II
    and
    Veigues Tactical Gladiator (no, seriously!)

  • Tye The Czar

    Nintendo just needs to get out the Saturn VC so we can get Bomberman Saturn!

  • Diel

    Swat Kats!!!

    and bomberman 64 of course

  • BJ Wanlund

    Wow, awesome! Headed over there to register!

  • BJ Wanlund

    Hudson –

    I appreciate your efforts to handle the VC properly, but really, there’s only 2 games I want: Mario Party 2 & Mario Party 3!! I know, but I played those games FANATICALLY, and then I saw what you had done to Mario Party 4 and I knew these two fantastic games were it for me in that series. The isometric perspective was PERFECT for the game, which was basically a video game masquerading as a board game.

    Here’s hoping it comes to VC sooner rather than later. Oh, and would you mind please supporting the Cube controller with these releases? Thanks!

    Sincerely,

    BJ Wanlund

  • Doug

    Please, guys, I am anxious for more games Turbografx games. I never had the system when I was a kid, but I'm hooked on the VC titles now! Legendary Axe I and II, Ghost Manor, Night Creatures… bring them on!

  • Ryan

    Just Dungeon Explorer II.

  • Mega Volt

    For TG-16

    Parasol Stars
    Keith Courage
    Cotton
    Legendary Axe
    Side Arms

  • Giorgio

    Not for a minute did I think of offending anyone, but, to me, Hudson should be a bit ashamed of not releasing a mega hit like Final Match Tennis (probably the best tennis ever) on Virtual Console. Please, remedy this incomprehensible lacking!
