Not only nerds want that game
Wouldn't it be great if you could play your favorite NES, Commodore 64, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, TurboGrafx 16 and other classic console and arcade games for a few dollars—on a single system? Savvy gamers already are with Wii's Virtual Console, the online store for retro gaming downloads.
With upward of 300 old-school hits, there's a lot to choose from. But if you total all games for the nine included platforms, you'll quickly realize there's also a lot unaccounted for. So we’ve rounded up the missing favorites we’d like to see on the service: the top 5 most wanted Virtual Console games.
#3 (of 5) 'Mother'
Before this little cult favorite, most role-playing games took place during the Middle Ages. You know, focusing on swords and magic and stuff. In "Mother," players assumed the role of Ninten, who journeys to uncover a mysterious phenomenon using a baseball bat and psychic powers, among other things. Despite being rated as one of the best games ever, it was never released outside of Japan. Why not now?
