Yeah, let’s go there.

I’d love to see Star Fox 1 on Virtual Boy. The low color and low polygon count would be a perfect fit on VB.

Elite.

My favourite game ever, the NES version would work great with the VB controller.

Oh yeah Starfox would be a good one.
Metroid would be high up the list for me, NES or SNES versions, with some nice deep backgrounds and a few flashing into the screen explosions etc.

There was an NES version of Elite?!? I… should really track that down!

I’d love to see a 2D Metroid. Just a few layers could make for a lot of fun exploration gameplay. I’d *really* love to see a new Metroid game for it, or something similar, like a Castlevania. It could be a lot of fun to play with mood and the redness of it all.

NES Elite was only released in PAL format, it doesn’t work properly on NTSC systems. I don’t think there’s ever been an NTSC conversion made for it.

Doom.

Star Fox sounds good. I think Space Harrier would work well too.

YES!!! Hopefully a completely redone version and not the same edited engine on the 32X/Jaguar/3D0/Playstation/GBA ports.

It exists, but surprisingly reproductions don’t seem to be out there.

I’ve never been able to get a copy of Elite to work properly on my NES everdrive. It works but always with graphical glitches.

I’d love to see a megaman game ported to the VB. One of the bosses could be “Red Man” or “Virtual Man” =P

I tested that Elite ROM in Nestopia and on the Everdrive FC. Although the header says NTSC and the opening crawl says “NTSC Emulation”, it’s still basically the PAL version, complete with partially off-screen visuals and graphical corruption. That’s probably why nobody’s made reproductions with it.

Here are some I have always wanted – games where the Red & Black charm works appropriately:

– a Makaimura game (could be Ghouls n Ghosts or gargoyle’s Quest / Demon’s Crest)

– a Megaman/Rockman game

– a Castlevania (classic 16-bit style, no RPG baggage)

– a sprite-based FPS ~ish Terminator game (from T800 perspective)

– a wireframe / polygonal F Zero (some great homebrew exists!)

– a sprite-based OutRun (some great homebrew exists!)

– a Wario Ware game (fill it with NES and GB style gameplay)

– a top-down Sweet Home style horror-themed dungeon crawler

– Street Fighter 2 3D (it happened!)

– a classic 2D Metroid a la Zero Mission

I think that’s about it for all my ideas, I wrote them down somewhere ages ago, there may have been more.

Yes, and I have a copy of the PAL cart. I haven’t played NES Elite for a few years now (my favourite is the BBC Micro disk version), but I remember it being surprisingly playable with the icon-driven interface, and the frame rate was very good IIRC.
