I have tried to search for these titles but I can't find anything. Will Contra (NES) be released on the Wii VC? Why Contra III and Super C but no original Contra?
Anyone seen and rumors about this title? This is a title that I already own but would pay for to have at my disposal without hooking up my NES.

Konami may want to wait and release it in conjunction with the DS Contra that's coming out. It's supposed to come out November 13th.
There's a lot of stuff I'd like to see on the VC that they're not offering that I'd think would be obvious. They release all of these obscure games instead of looking at the most expensive more high demand stuff on their consoles. I'd love to see Rendering Ranger put on there.

Oooh yeah, Rendering Ranger is also a good one. I own most of the VC titles on the actual console but there are a few that having them available 24/7 with no hook-ups would be nice. I've already downloaded Super Mario World as that's a title I play from time to time....
Contra would be awesome, I play that all the time.

Well they are going to wait until COntra 4 is released, and then they will go and release it on VC, It is all about marketing like Metroid.

I understand the desire to get these awesome games onto the VC, but remember Nintendo has to spread these things out over 5+ years. Think of all the awsome titles that are already available. With new systems being added to the service, the potential for awesomeness is literally boundless.
It will be awesome.

I understand the spacing tactic but what I do not understand is the skipping thing...Contra III and Super C but no Contra seems a bit strange to me....
Like others have said though, Contra 4 might have something to do with it.
