Stop the presses! Mole Mania heading to Virtual Console

Posted on June 5, 2012 by (@Patricklous) in 3DS, News

If Australia’s Office of Film and Literature Classification is anything to go by, we’ll be seeing Nintendo’s classic puzzle game hitting the eShop shortly.

Oh, what’s that? You’ve don’t remember Mole Mania? Well that’s OK, it seems like the game’s creator, Shigeru Miyamoto (you might have heard of him) doesn’t remember this Game Boy game, either. As long neglected Nintendo protagonist, Muddy Mole, you have to solve puzzles by digging tunnels, flinging things around, and throwing cabbages down holes for some reason. It’s the kind of simple (yet sometimes brutally difficult) game that’s perfect for the eShop. Heck, I was clamouring for its release long before the 3DS was even released.

When will it be released in the US? Probably whenever you guys get Wario Land, Dr. Mario and Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters. So at the rate Virtual Console games have been coming out – never.

Anyway, just thought I’d sneak this in before it gets buried under a bunch of Wii U trailers. Four and a half hours to go!
