While things have vastly improved since then, it still seems sometimes that the US lineup doesn't measure up to those of other territories.</p> <P>But is this actually true, nearly-a-year-now since launch? To find the answer, I'm going to list below all the games that fall into two categories:</p> <OL><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Games that have been released in the US, but not yet on Virtual Console</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Games that haven't been released in the US, but have been released in other non-Japanese territories</LI></OL>
<P>These two categories combined will show what America is missing out on. Is it a vast discrepancy, or just a minor annoyance? The results are below.</P></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/09/virtual-conso-5.html"><P><EM>Here's what I have: let me know if I'm missing anything or have mistakenly listed a game that actually was released here.</EM><STRONG><BR /><BR />1.
