I really wish the virtual console icons on the WiiU home screen would depict the box art.  I know it would be complicated based on different regions, but it would really hit those nostalgic notes and make it feel more like you are collecting the games.

If you want the retro cart, you'll probably want to pick up the sega CD additional disc they offer as it will greatly enhance the music.

@ Kodais:  I wish, but the Japan VC has been getting quantity and quality compared to the NA and EU shops. I wish we got even half the RPGs that they have as well as the additional platforms that are missing from our stores. I wouldn't be surprised if they get N64 support a year before anyone else.

Love the Reggie Story.  He seems like he'd be a great guy to grab a beer with.  It just makes me wish that he was given a bigger leash to direct Western game releases and third party agreements.

I Know it was a blurry image, but I have to say Star Fox.  I have been waiting for a release like this forever considering we won't ever get the original on virtual console do to licensing agreements and the 64 virtual console version is at least a few years away do to the 3DS remake.  I have faith that this will be a very inventive use of the game pad and it will fill a whole across multiple platforms as 3D console space themed shooters are rare these days (I realize there are a ton of 2D indies).

I'm also interested to see how Project guard is incorporated into the plot.   I could envision many different scenarios in which fox and his team are captured and maybe Slippy hacks into the cameras to remotely guide them out of the prison without detection (stealth inc?).

Overall, great E3 as every game really had some of that special Nintendo magic that the industry desperately needs.
