digg_url =“http://digg.com/nintendo/Wii_Virtual_Console_update_for_the_week_of_January_28_Feb” Nintendo’s been winding down with the VC releases lately - in the last few weeks, we’ve seen the usual update number hover at two, and this week, only a single title graces the update. Fortunately, its a good one: Nintendo 64 classic 1080 Snowboarding. Hailing from an era… Continue Reading »

It looks like two is the new three, as Nintendo is once again putting out two titles this week instead of the once-customary three. This week, we have legendary brawler Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers and NES puzzler Adventures of Lolo 2. Chances are, everyone and their mother… Continue Reading »

This week on the Virtual Console, Nintendo is continuing last week’s trend of releasing two (as opposed to the “usual” three) titles: Pac-Attack and Riot Zone. Pac-Attack is a SNES puzzler starring Pac-Man and Riot Zone serves up early 90’s era brawler action. All titles are available on the Wii… Continue Reading »

This week on the Virtual Console, Nintendo is breaking tradition and offering up two games instead of three. Thankfully, they’re both well worth your time and Wii shop points: NES RPG Star Tropics and Neo-Geo brawler King of Fighters ‘94. Star Tropics in particular is a bargain - it’s a… Continue Reading »

Nintendo left a fresh batch of Virtual Console goodies for Wii gamers on New Year’s eve, with the highlight being NES classic Bubble Bobble. Also on the list is the hilariously named Neo Geo action title Top Hunter and Genesis Action RPG Light Crusader. Of course, if this week’s selections… Continue Reading »

It’s a bit of a revolutionary week on the Virtual Console, as we have our first ever release that’s been enhanced with Wii functionality. No, this doesn’t mean you can now control retro games by wiimote (though that could be awesome!), it means that the VC version of Underrated N64… Continue Reading »

This week on the Virtual console, the games are so incredibly random that Nintendo actually acknowledges it. The press release starts with a statement that sometimes the VC lineup has a unifying theme, sometimes it doesn’t, and this week is the latter. With an NES shooter (Zanac), a genesis brawler… Continue Reading »

This week on the virtual console, Nintendo makes yet another case for every Wii owner to go out and buy Super Mario Galaxy, since the rather lackluster VC selections have been less than stellar (pardon the pun). We have NES basketball title Double Dribble, SNES gambling simulator Vegas Stakes, and… Continue Reading »

This week on the Virtual Console, Nintendo is celebrating the service’s one-year anniversary (happy birthday, Wii!) with a rather… lackluster lineup of retro games. First off, we have Wrecking Crew on the NES, followed by Sonic 3D Blast on the Genesis and TGFX-16 CD action-platformer Super Air Zonk. Honestly Nintendo,… Continue Reading »

This week on the Virtual console, we’re back to the extreme randomness that we’ve all come to expect from the big N. In fact, it fits the VC paradigm so well (sports game, side scroller, shooter) that it’s almost transcended into a sort of meta-pattern – or not. In any… Continue Reading »
