As you all know, the Wii U eShop presently has a section of the Virtual Console for DS games. If any of you could put any game up there, what would it be?
For me, as much as there are plenty that I'd put up, priority #1 would have to be Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier (primarily because it's where Haken and Kaguya from Project X Zone made their debut).
I'd like to see the Pokemon Gameboy/DS games playable on the WiiU gamepad. Or why not on TV screen with the minimap and all sorts of micro(?)management stuff on the Gamepad, like "quick"inventory, pokemonorder and similar stuff. But mainly the Pokemon games playable on the WiiU would be a nice one.
For DS specifically, I really want the sequel of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon to be localized. I've heard it's pretty great, and Shadow Dragon felt incomplete.
In general, more Fire Emblem games that haven't been localized need to be put on the Eshop. With Fire Emblem's drastic increase in popularity, it only makes too much sense. With Roy's return to Smash, I could see his game being localized.
That's already available on the Wii virtual console. Has been for ages. Don't know if they ported it across to the Wii U e-shop yet, but thanks to backwards compatibility, the virtual console version still works in Wii mode...

Fair enough. That can happen. To be honest I recall that a re-release done for playstation at some point had animated sequences where the original has stills.
Chrono Trigger's character designs are done by the same artist that created dragon ball. That always amused me somehow. And you can kind of see it too. If you look at the character portraits at least.
In a related note, how do you think games that switch from portrait to landscape would be handled? (y'know, ones like Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story). Would the transition be done automatically?, or is there already an inbuilt setting for games that require you to hold the system like a book?

I played both the SNES and PS1 version. There were no stills, the PS and SNES are pretty much the same, but with the anime sequences inserted in some key events, without replacing anything (except the intro).
I think that the comparison between both intros shows a great metaphor about nostalgia:

The original had some stills for the endings as I recall.
That animation is pretty much what I expected.
Yeah, nostalgia can do weird things to you. I've never played anything other than direct, unaltered ports of the SNES chrono trigger though.
Personally, I replay old games on a regular basis, and find that the stylised nature of late-generation 2d graphics (eg. Snes and Mega drive stuff), holds up considerably better than the early 3d stuff that came after it. Or even some of the later 3d stuff.
The shine wore off those primitive 3d graphics pretty quickly for me...
Still, chrono trigger is awesome.
I do also have some fondness for the sheer visual polish that is Seiken Densetsu 3 (no western release, but it's a secret of mana game).
Tales of phantasia also did some impressive things graphically for an SNES game. (which a GBA release kind of ruined, but still)
And an often overlooked snes action-rpg (as in combat is more towards zelda than turn-based battles), called Terranigma.
Arguably Terranigma could in fact be better than Chrono Trigger. It just tends to get ignored somehow. (Secret of mana 3 and tales of phantasia on the other hand aren't that great. They just look impressive. The gameplay isn't that good)
