I downloaded Pokémon Snap and Blades of Steel last night.
We have Pokémon Snap for the N64 (but that console broke about 6 months ago), and my wife and I were so addicted to it back then, we had to get it.
I even gifted Blades of Steel to my buddy for Christmas. We used to play that game for hours back in the day!

Yep. I want to get Bubble Bobble but there is a new DS game out this month in the same mold as the original game. I don't think I need to spend money on both.

BASEBALL STARS 2 (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 900 Wii Points): Pick one of six unique teams from cities around the world, then get ready for nine innings of excitement, whether you're taking on the computer in a 15-game tournament or squaring off against a friend. There are two modes of game play, so even the most inexperienced player can compete at the major-league level (with a little computer-aided fielding). Watch as the game develops through split-screen views and close-up shots worthy of any highlight film, and see if you can catch the numerous over-the-top animations of the large and detailed player models.

Did you play the original Baseball Stars? If so, how does it compare?

...and is the all female team there to draw in the crowds... cough... money.

AFAIK, unfortunately "no" to all the above questions. I've never played #1, so I wouldn't know how it compares (this is the first time I've played this one). If there is a female team, I haven't seen them yet. And there doesn't seem to be a season mode, as it's a straight-up arcade game - but being "24-bits", it certainly looks shit-loads better than it would on the NES - I really like the art style used in the game.

I remember Star Tropics had a spot where you had to get a 4 digit code from the instruction book to input it in the game to get any further. I wonder if they will have done something about that or just require us to go to gamefaqs or something to get the code.

I have the original NES cart, but I might buy the VC version anyway since I love the game so much.

You click on the images to virtually dip the paper into the water and then it shows you the code.
