Chris Buffa (Modojo): Pop quiz: When did Wave Race make its debut?
If you guessed the Nintendo 64 in 1996, you just lost the dream vacation to Hawaii, and it's perfectly all right, because we'd bet most video games fans think the franchise got its start with Wave Race 64.
Breath of the Wild may be an overwhelming favourite for game of the year awards the world over, but the real kicker for Switch lies in its future potential. Mario Odyssey, Metroid Prime 4 and the next core Pokémon have all been announced for the console to universal fan appreciation and, being the greedy Nintendo fans we are, we’re looking beyond those games towards five more franchises we really want to see return on Nintendo’s new phenomenon.
Advance wars = YES YES YES YES YES
A port of Kid Icarus with PROPER controls
A port of Starfox from WiiU with PROPER controls
Animal Crossing
Oh and a port of Hyrule Warriors - Fantastic title
Oh and also port of all Zelda releases - maybe a nice box set with all of them

Wave Race 64 (which originally came out on the Nintendo 64) is one of the games hitting the Wii U Virtual Console this week, in Europe. It’s the US version (runs at 60Hz).
same here... broke my leg when i was 12 racing motocross. I was down for a while, and my dad bought me the N64 and wave race... I played the shit out of it for quite a while.. good times.
This is a classic game not played for a while may have to grab it but seriously Nintendo start putting some VC games on the 3DS it's a long time until the End of Feb when Pokemon comes out and there's been nothing in the form of classics for weeks.
