EDITOR'S PICK: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
If you're a Zelda fan then you obviously have heard of this game. However not many Zelda fans have either played it or even finished it? Why? Because it is far different from many of the other Zelda games in the series, but it is certainly one that shouldn't be ignored. With so much to see, so much to do, and yet so little time, this game takes a lot of dedication, even more than your basic RPG game if you want to soak yourself up in everything this game has to offer with it. Characters and stories are all wonderful and dark at the same time that it's no strange reason that gamers who love this game can have philosophical debates no the stories of these characters as well as what Link is doing with the manipulation of the world he is put in. If you haven't picked this game I suggest you do, I know I haven't said much here, but that's because I want you to experience it by first-hand.

Well I recommended the game Neutopia so I might as well recommend the game that quite possibly inspired it. With so many secrets to find and dungeons to crawl through this game is the epitome of the adventure game. If you have ever played "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" or "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" then I highly suggest you play the one game that started it all.

Editor's Pick: Vegas Stakes
Here is quite the interesting game. I know there are a lot of different casino and gambling video games out there, but this one is a bit different. It has the basic stuff such as Blackjack, Slot Machine, Roulette, and Craps, but the Poker part of this game is where it shines. The AI players have personalities to them, favorite hands, and can even bluff you and be bluffed out by you. It truly is a spectacle to see. Also since you are in the lovely city of Las Vegas (it's a casino game where'd you think you'd be?) you will cross different other characters who may want to help you out or want help and it is up to you on whether you can trust them or not. Some are quite friendly while others will pickpocket your cash and fast. If you got some spare change then pick up this little SNES title.

Well you could resort to other ways that are not to be discussed here (forum rule). That's the only way I can think of. There will be games like that, one being Earthbound, that we will not get on the Virtual Console.

This is one of those cases in which we have to ask why. I guess you should ask Konami when it comes to this one since that is one of their games.
