    Must haves? Zelda (Ocarina) and Mario 64 on the N64... Though be prepared for basic graphics and non too great frame rates (especially in Zelda). Maybe Yoshi's Sotory and Paper Mario too.

    Other recommended titles:

    If you never had a Turbografx / PC Engine then you might be suprised how good the shooter games are on there - Blazing Lasers (AKA Gunhed), Dead Moon, Gate of Thunder, Soldier Blade and Super Star Soldier. The conversions of R-Type and Ninja Spirit are very close to the arcade version but if you have them elsewhere they probably aren't worth a separate purchase.

    Yet more good shooters are the two Treasure games - Gunstar Heroes (Megadrive) and Sin and Punishment (N64) and though I've never played it I've heard Dynamite Headdy is supposed to be good too (more of a platformer that one I believe).

    Act Raiser is a good SNES game though beware - the only SNES game I've purchased (Super Mario World) will not work on my TV... The SNES emulator appears to switch the Wii into a weird video mode. I'm told it will probably work if I switch back to composite instead of component but I can't be doing with that (maybe if I had an RGB cable to try). Other good SNES games are Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2, Super Mario World, Super Probotector, Super Catlevania IV, Super Metroid, Zelda (A Link to the Past)

    I never had a NES so I'm not a big fan but having said that Super Mario Bros. 3 is meant to be very good and the old Zelda games may be worth digging up.

    Bomberman 93 (Turbografx again) is great if you play the battle mode with friends.

    Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Megadrive) isa good arcade conversion.

    Neutopia and Neutopia II (Turbografx) are pretty decent old school RPGs (quite like early Ys games)

    Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Megadrive) and Kirby's Ghost Trap (SNES) are both versions of Puyo Puyo - a respectable Tetris / Dr. Mario style game.

    On the racing game front F-Zero, F-Zero X and Mario Kart 64 are all good...

    What else... The "Shining" RPGs on the Megadrive are meant to be good (never played them first time around myself).

    Military Madness (Turbografx) is very simplistic but is basically where Advance Wars (GBA / DS) began. It's also rock hard (you have been warned)...

    I could go on... All in all Nintendo have chosen pretty good games all round (though there is still some crap on there IMO)
    wow thats quite a round up, thanks.
    only just added my points a few days ago as I moved house and the wiis been packed away.

    I have the zelda games on that gamecube disc otherwise I would have went with one of those.
    So I grabbed myself super streetfighter II turbo. It doesnt seem to be as good as I remember it to be though
    next on my list is either bomberman or galaga, hopefully they will live up to the memories.

    i'd also like to see that snes lawnmowerman game and aladdin I could never beat those two

    Re: Finally! Free Wii Points for loyal Nintendo buyers

    isn't there some kind of addon for the wii to be able to play all the old games for free? I think they are a bit overpriced and the conversion rate doesn't seem too great... Think I'll hang on to my stars and eventually have enough to get something cool.

    I had loads of Stars Points thingys from Gamecube days but I can't log in with that account, neither does it let me use the forgotten password thing, guess they cleared it or something

    Go to the Nintendo UK site and click the "join the club" button near the top right corner.

    Not exactly free... When you register Games/consoles on the Nintendo web-site (using the card packaged with the game/console) you get so many Nintendo Stars. The stars are used to trade for various items ranging from screensavers and wallpapers to T-shirts and full games (always very low stock of those). Nintendo now allows you to trade those Stars for Wii points codes.
