Pokémon Snap
As one of the most unique games in a renowned series, Pokémon Snap was the first truly 3-D Pokémon game and introduced the phenomenon to the Nintendo 64. Travel to Pokémon Island and meet Professor Oak to begin a safari, taking the best possible photographs of 63 different Pokémon as they exist in the wild, undisturbed by humans. This is not as easy as it sounds—the island has many types of climates and environments to explore, along with secret activities and hidden passages to discover. Plus, some of the Pokémon can be a little shy and won’t pose for the camera unless you tease them with special items. After you’re done, submit one picture of each Pokémon to Professor Oak, and he’ll judge it based on size, pose, technique and number of Pokémon captured.

Players: 1

Cost: 1,000
Controllers: Classic & GameCube

Ghosts’n Goblins
Ghosts’n Goblins was a popular arcade game before it made the leap to the NES in 1986. Like later games in the series, Ghosts’n Goblins presents quite a challenge to players brave enough to take on the role of Arthur and delve into the realm of demons and monsters to rescue the kidnapped princess. Choose your weapons wisely and take advantage of their strengths to deal with the situation at hand. Pass through the six gates that stand between you and Astaroth, and teach him a lesson in chivalry he’ll never forget. Demonstrating a high level of technical prowess for a game of its era, Ghosts’n Goblins presents a unique and unforgettable universe. The stage for adventure is set. Are you up to the test?

Players:2

Cost: 500
Controllers: Wii Remote, Classic, & GameCube

BASEBALL STARS 2
Lace up your cleats and step onto the diamond with the pros of BASEBALL STARS 2. You’ll find everything you’d expect in a classic game of baseball, but with an arcade feel and intense action that distinguish it from the pack. Pick one of six unique teams from cities around the world, then get ready for nine innings of excitement, whether you’re taking on the computer in a 15-game tournament or squaring off against a friend. There are two modes of game play, so even the most inexperienced player can compete at the major-league level (with a little computer-aided fielding). Watch as the game develops through split-screen views and close-up shots worthy of any highlight film, and see if you can catch the numerous over-the-top animations of the large and detailed player models. Think you have what it takes to win the pennant?

Players: 2

Cost: 900
Controllers: Wii Remote, Classic, & GameCube

I hated that damn system. I didn't like the majority of the games, the controller sucked. Mostly it was the controller that I hated. I may be basing my hatred for 64 almost entirely on the controller in fact

I loved those wcw games on there. I'd play with my friend sfor hours.

Duke

yes, WWF NO MERCY was/is/prolly always will be the best wrestling game ever

Spinoff360

My hatred goes beyond the controller though. It was good for wrestling games and Goldeneye was good by console FPS standards but outside of that I couldn't get into anything. Sin & Punishment is also great but that was never released here and part of the VC imports so maybe if they released more Japanese exclusives here I would have liked it a little more. But the PS1 (For a large part of the PS1 lifespan I wasn't really into RPG's yet and that is all both the PS1 and PS2 are great for IMO. The PS1 did get a little better for me once I started to get into RPG's but by then it was a little late in the life of the console.) and Saturn didn't amaze me either so that gen almost killed my interest in gaming until the greatness that was the Dreamcast came along.

Baseball Stars looks decent but doubt I will get that and won't get the other two for sure. Don't understand why Nintendo are feeling the need to have such pathetic ripoffs for thier pricing. It was bad enough before the NeoGeo games but that took it to a new low. You can get Fatal Fury with online play added for $5 for the XBLA but Nintendo expect people to pay $9 for Fatal Fury and other NeoGeo games for the VC without anything added.....
