Looks like Friday is update day for the European Virtual Console, though we're not sure why Nintendo wouldn't do all regions on the same day, even despite differences in content from region to region. Maybe they just want things to be confusing for those who obtained a console from a different region!We've included the full list of this month's VC updates for Europe -- and it's pretty extensive!

The 15th's update looks as though to be a fantastic one!
Although there isn't a single n64 title in sight, this is a shame...

How about some Donkey Kong Country for the US?
Super Castlevania IV... is that the first SNES Castlevania? If so, feel free to send that over to the US too.

Why not Super Contra? Know theres no difference with Probotector other than the charater sprites but gee, Contra on XBL wasn't changed? Still a fantastic game tho! And super Castlevania too!
Though really been waiting for R-Type (the TGfx version is amazing!)
Few other games that would be welcome are SNES Teenage Ninja Turtles (loved that years ago, the shame of it lol) Axeley and possibly the Goeman N64 game?
Just thought of one, if Nintendo actually change their minds on improving/adding Wii Remote controls one title that could translate the controls well.. Mario Paint? rather than using the mouse?

They are probably releasing them on different days to try to stagger the server traffic. You know... keep things running smoothly? Seems pretty smart to me.

Horray for Mega Drive! Genesis was a bit of a misleading title, especially since it was SEGA's fourth system.

Anyone have any idea when Australia will get new VC games? A lot of the Europian VC games are similar, with a few exceptions... such as Australians dont have Bomberman yet! Which is the only game I'm looking forward to at the moment!

Gunstar, Toejam and Castlevania are all getting bought on the day! As for SimCity, I want it.... But only if they did a proper one with WiiMote action!
@7: Check on Friday for 100% confirmation but this link at gonintendo is saying for "Europe"
