Hey, Generic Dudes, guess what? Aksys Games has announced that they are, in fact, bringing the two Technos games found in the ESRB database to the Virtual Console -- along with another one that just happens to be the best game on the Nintendo Entertainment System! River City Ransom. Next week. Five dollars.
The week after that, Double Dragon will become available (which would be awesome news if not for OMG RIVER CITY RANSOM SERIOUSLY), and the week after that, Renegade. If you don't have a Wii, you should probably go ahead and buy one now, because it just got its killer app.

Woohoo!
It's been far too long since I've made some Generic Dudes BARF, and I get to introduce my wife to a game my brother and I played the living crap out of years ago.

Never played RCR but I played DD on an emulator before and its fun.
Ill wait for you're RCR review on Monday before getting RCR. Then DD here I come! :P
Then all I need is SMRPG and Earthbound and I can die happy!(How can I balance Internet, RCR, DD, Brawl, and MKWii!?)

I am really wondering about the TurboGraphix version. Well, PC engine version anyhow, that system's lineup got hosed in the US amirite?
Much as I love the game, and as much of a classic as it is, if the semi 16-bit version is better in some way, i think I'd rather have it.

If I couldn't just plop my cart into my NES and play it, I'd be excited...but there's no point in re-buying a game I have & can play any time.
How about Rock N' Roll Racing, Blizzard??

Now, I just need to figure out some way to step outside the space-time continuum until I catch up on the ~20 or so back titles I keep meaning to play/finish.
Seriously, I'm effing drowning in awesome over here.
