Since last week only had one game released, I decided to just merge it to this week, rather than devote an entire post to just one game, which is why there was no article on Monday that week. Fantastic! (more…)
Or, in other words, “Virtual Console Monday: Let’s Forget it’s actually Monday today” Edition. Monday or Tuesday, it doesn’t change what the console served up for us yesterday. (more…)
After a few rather underwhelming weeks, the Virtual Console dishes out both Mega Turrican and Fantasy Zone for those who felt a bit let down (like me) have a good moment. How extra nice of them!
It looks like Nintendo’s getting into the baseball mood as well as most people, since it’s giving VC users some Baseball on the Virtual Console. How nice of them!
In a change of events, Nintendo decided to unleash the Sega Master System upon the American masses for its first time today… but how does it all fare? Read on, brave Virtual Console user, to find out! (more…)
Nintendo was nice enough to serve up two classics to the US Virtual Console service today. Just the sight of Super R-Type and Spelunker make us…wait, Super R-Type and Spelunker? Really? Come on… (more…)
Although it’s difficult to compete with last week’s releases of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Condemned 2: Bloodshot, and God of War: Chains of Olympus, a few notable titles are hitting store shelves in the upcoming days. Hit the jump for a list of this week’s releases in the US: (more…)

The BBFC sent out a press release that they are left with “no alternative but to issue an ‘18′ certificate to the game.” What a shame, they were just doing UK gamers a favor by preventing additional political drama and saving them from buying a game that isn’t fun. The actual release date is unconfirmed at this time.

It took long enough, but Nintendo has finally announced the North American release date for Mario Kart Wii. You’ll be able to play the second generation of online ‘karting on April 27. It’ll cost the usual $49.99, but it comes with the new Wii Wheel shell for your Wiimote - not a bad deal at all, but we’ll probably end up playing the game without the wheel anyways. Mario Kart Wii comes out in Japan on April 11, followed by Europe on April 12 and Australia on April 24.
After a six-year haitus, Smash Bros. is back and better than ever. (more…)
