Hmm... some people already got my big nominations, namely the Lufia series, Maniac Mansion (I'll add Day of the Tentacle to the list) and the Soul Blazer series. (And I'd really love to see the UK version of Terranigma come to the US, even if it gets the import markup.) I've also heard about Earthbound nightmares, but I really don't think they're founded. I do think that it will come out when the time is right for Nintendo. As for other things, the rest of the Fire Emblem series needs to come out. It shouldn't be too hard to bring out some of the older ones, I would think. As for Ogre Battle 64, I'd like to see it, but truthfully, I don't see that happening given Atlus' stance on VC releases. I think that if Nintendo really wanted to, Goldeneye or Perfect Dark would have a better chance. (Although wrestling the license away from MS may be tough...)

Atlus' stance?

...Square owns the Ogre Battle games nowadays, don't it?

Negative. Checking GameFAQs and verifying through Amazon JP and US, Square itself never had a hand in it. Closest thing to Square was Enix USA handling the SNES game in the Americas. In Japan, it was Quest, then Artdink, however, Nintendo themselves did have a hand with some of the later ones, such as the 64 and GBA versions. (Then there was River Hill doing a Saturn version, and SNK handling a NGPC version.) In the Americas, though, after the SNES, all of them (N64, GBA, PSX, and Tactics Ogre) were localized by Atlus USA.

I guess I can't rule out the chance of Japan seeing a VC release. However, outside of Japan, unless Atlus is willing to sell the rights to the Ogre series. It... may be possible? But given how the series has been essentially dead now for a while, I'm not seeing anyone being willing to step up to the plate.
