Virtual Console wishes
– Craig’s list includes Pit-Fighter
– Aladin probably won’t be released on the VC due to liscensing issues
– Ducktales might be held up because of the Disney aspect, although relicensing isn’t out of the picture entirely (see TMNT for Wii and Xbox Live)
– Earthbound another wanted VC title
– Podcast team also would like Battletoads, it was on Craig’s list
– Scott and Jack would like to see Sonic & Knuckles
– Most wanted choices for VC: Scott – Mutant League Football, Sam – Metal Warriors, Jack – Vectorman 2, Craig – Rush 2049

Nintendo Download: A New Decade Brings Seven New Downloadable Nintendo Games
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Should old acquaintance be forgot? We can’t remember. But what we can remember is that this week’s downloadable lineup from Nintendo asks a lot of questions. The Nintendo DSiWare™ service wonders if you can master missiles with Trajectile™, lead animals to their proper pens with Animal Puzzle Adventure or match wits with TV chef Gordon Ramsay in Hell’s Kitchen Vs. The WiiWare™ service puts you in charge of maximizing your rubber duckie output with Heron: Steam Machine, asks you to aim for the bull’s-eye with Pub Darts and wonders if you have an itchy trigger finger with Fast Draw Showdown. Finally, Final Fight™ 3 on the Virtual Console™ service makes you wonder if the fight is ever really final.
