Virtual Console Update 72

Double Dragon

Woah what the? I missed a VC update? I guess my mind was on other things like what color my walls are and thinking about how many molecules of oxygen I might be spending with each breath. It’s a shame to because this VC update has something you want to play.

This week, there’s only one addition to the VC and it’s Double Dragon on the NES.

Double Dragon is awesome!

Mario Kart Wii - US Launch

Mario Kart Wii

Well Mario Kart Wii launches today in the US. I love the Mario Kart games a ton with the exception of Double Dash on Cube. I haven’t played Mario Kart Wii yet myself, but my brother has had a pre-order on it which I will probably scrounge off of so I can see what I think before thinking about getting my own copy. I’ve seen a lot of reviews for Mario Kart Wii, and they seem to list some pretty believable complaints, mainly about stuff for catering to the “Casual Gamer” crowd.  I can’t confidently say if the game I love has remained in tact.

Hopefully it’s unchanged, and maybe those complaints are minor, but it’s so hard to tell. Sometime in the not so distant future I’ll probably come back and post on what I found while playing my bro’s copy. Not so much a review, more like a scouting party for those who are unsure like me.

The whole issue with Super Smash Bros. Brawl being basically unplayable online (most the time) for me still has also got me a little cautious, although I haven’t seen or heard anything bad about the online portion that relates to lag like Brawl does.

In the mean time! Those of you who have the game already I’d like to hear what you have to say!

Virtual Console Update 71

Oh BARF! Another nice VC update? That’s something incredible anymore isn’t it?
This weeks VC update includes River City Ransom for NES, and Phantasy Star III Generations of Doom for the Sega Genesis.

Not one, but TWO note worthy titles. For me though, River City Ransom is the highlight. Such a nice, smooth controlling beat em’ up for the NES, a classic. Suggestive themes galore as well!

Virtual Console Update 70

Hmm. Actually the VC isn’t too shabby this week. By no means MIND BLOWING, but not too shabby. It’s also apparently Sega system week!

This week’s additions to the VC library are Fantasy Zone for the Sega Master System, and Mega Turrican for Sega Genesis.

Both are probably worth looking into. General information inside!

Virtual Console Update 69

Gee! The VC update sure is boring this week!
Mah boi! These games are what all true gamers strive for!
I just wonder where Earthbound is!

… So yeah. Not much this week and sorry about the whole Earthbound thing last week. This week’s VC update includes Bases Loaded for NES, and Yoshi’s Cookie for NES. The last one being an alright game. Nothing really wrong with it, but I just don’t know if it worth $5.
