One of my favorite genres has got to be the 3D platformer, but outside of a few gems like Galaxy and Ratchet and Clank, they are few and far between these days. The N64 had tons of these games, but so far the only one available on the Virtual Console is Mario 64. I'd love to see Rayman 2 on the VC along with any of Rare's that licensing would allow (the VC already has all three of their Donkey Kong Country games, so why not Donkey Kong 64?)

Anyone else wishing there was more three-dimensional hop-and-bopping on the VC?

Many people want more N64 games in the VC. There are many games that should be there, but aren't. It seems that it takes more time to adapt a N64 game to the VC, than a SNES, NES, or SEGA game.

Hopefully Nintendo will start releasing VC N64 titles every 2 weeks instead of every month.

The problem isn't as much the lack of platformers, but the lack of games in general. I'm sure if they released as many 64 games as they did NES or SNES games, we'd be inundated in platformers.
