Not to be outshone by Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade release schedule of one arcade game every Wednesday, Nintendo has announced that it’s set to début a new Virtual Console title every Monday.
To kick off this insurgent trend Nintendo are set to unleash not one, but four Virtual Console titles onto the Wii Shopping Channel this upcomming Monday, December 4th which will include the following instantous classics:
- Donkey Kong Jr. (Nes): 500 Wii Points ($5)
- Victory Run (TurboGrafx16): 600 Wii Points ($6)
- Columns (Sega Megadrive/Genesis): 800 Wii Points ($8)
- Ristar (Sega Megadrive/Genesis): 800 Wii Points ($8)
yay first post
Sounds good to me. I have to say, I like the ‘Live Wednesdays’ and think it’s a great idea.
The Virtual Conole is off to a weak start. There are literally thousands of Nintendo/Sega games that should already be available or about to come out for the Wii Shopping Channel. Going at the rate they’re going it’ll take a couple of decades, if not centuries to release all the games that should be on the Virtual Console. “Nintendo has announced that it’s set to début a new Virtual Console title every Monday.” One title a week is weak. Unless they mean they’ll be putting out dozens of games every Monday, in which case, great! If not, Nintendo isn’t putting enough effort in and it makes the VC look tacky and like a poor add-on.
Woo Hoo! So when is donkey kong country 3 coming?
I agree with Minerva. One VC game a week is very poor.
Good to hear! Though from my understanding RARE is bought by microsoft, id love to see some KI Gold on the Wii VC. Doubt it’ll happen. When’s Zombies ate my neighbors, Turtles Arcade, Golden eye, and some batman and disney titles coming out – like THe adventures of batman and robin and Mickey Mania?
