What I find curious is how Sega and TG16 keep getting games, but Nintendo's own Super NES and Nintendo 64 are getting nothing!
My theory is this, Sega and Hudson Soft happen to be the developers for the respective Genesis and TG16 titles. Both Sega and Hudson don't have a lot going on in terms of developing many brand new titles, right? So, they probably have a lot more time to consult negotiations with Nintendo about liscensing downloads for the Virtual Console.
As for the other more successful third party developers, Capcom and Konami, Nintendo was probably willing to press a little harder for Street Fighter II and Castlevania IV because it only enhances the equity of the Wii's uses in the eyes of the consumer. Those were more or less staple franchises, they are still making CV and SF games. Sorry to make the responose so long.
All I want is Metroid, Super Metroid, Bubble Bobble, Super Mario World, Pilot Wings 64, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man 1-6, Super Mario 2 & 3, A Link to the Past, Wave Race, Contra...IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?!?
First of all, nice name. MST3k rules.
Rest assured Contra III is due this spring on VC. I am stoked.
No, it's clear Nintendo needs to hire more people to work on VC. One day it'll be a giant room of people checking code on computer screens. If Nintendo turns around and makes all VC +2 player games online multiplayer, the value of the current games available would go up dramatically. Remember it took 3-15 people to make most of these old VC games in the past. It'll take around the same amount to retest and code check.
We must get different games...I'm in Uk our latest releases were Super Mario Bros (NES) err can't remember the other. We have donkey Kong country but not the one's you mentioned. We seem to get them every Friday and a list is always issued at www.Nintendo.co.uk
Gradius! That game is definitely not crappy, in my early years I spent hours upon hours playing Gradius. Definitely a difficult game, but sure brings back memories.

PM Me if you wanna play, main is Marth.(Despite my sig img)
I just wanna play Taz in Escape from Mars, AfterBurner, and some others that I've posted somewhere else... I think in VC I wanna see, or sommat like that.
But, honestly... for those who are about 30 - 40 years old and had a ZX Spectrum, or who've got a Speccy Emulator... I would really donate both my hairy ones to science if I could play
But, I really don't see any really early Home Computer games coming to the Wii VC..! Shame, though!

Is Gradius 2 player simultaneous like Life Force? I never played Gradius 1 nor 2, but loved 2-player Life Force. Looks like Gradius came out before life force, so probably not quite as good, eh?

I'm not too bothered about what VC games come, because I'm not planning on buying any (at present), because they don't make any differences to the games, and the ones I do want I already own, hidden away safely in my loft somewhere, so I might as well just downloaded the Roms to play, instead of paying an extra tenner to buy the same games again. If they improved games, changed them, or even had an online feature with either multiplayer or top scores, then I'd definitly be interested. Otherwise, I'm cool with saving my money and playing the games in other ways

Dio/Iommi (half of the current Black Sabbath)on 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen' is awe inspiring.
