VC Monday Madness: Pong Toss, Art of Fighting 2 and Chase H.Q.


There is some variety available for those of you looking to download something new to play on Wii. For the retro fans, a pair of new Virtual Console titles should tickle the fancy.

[Via press release]

VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 2/25/08


It's good to be back in the saddle. I've finished the video and placed it above for your viewing pleasure, checking out the duo of this week's Virtual Console releases. Hopefully, in failing to provide you guys with a video last week, I haven't lost my touch. And, by "my touch," I mean the ability to produce a video that only makes you want to vomit mildly.

Head past the break for the usual follow-up coverage.

VC Monday Madness: Psychosis and Kirby64


It's Monday, which means that the Virtual Console provides us with downloadable entertainment. It's been awhile since we've gotten a N64 game, so color us excited about that. As for the other title up for for grabs, well ... we don't really have any experience with that one. So, we're looking forward to trying that out.

This week's Virtual Console releases include:
  • Kirby64: The Crystal Shards (Nintendo 64, 1 - 4 players, 1,000 Wii Points)
  • Psychosis (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
And, unlike last week, you can definitely expect a VC Monday Madness video wrap-up later on today.

VC Monday Madness: Harvest Moon & Lords of Thunder


Today's Virtual Console offerins are in stark contrast of one another. On the one hand, you have a calm, some would say somber, title like Harvest Moon, where you'll settle for nothing less than having the best farm ever. On the other hand, there's Lords of Thunder, which tasks the player with shooting the crap out of everything on screen.

This week's Virtual Console releases are:
  • Harvest Moon (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
  • Lords of Thunder (TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
Be sure to stop back later for our video wrap-up of this week's Virtual Console games.

VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 1/14/08


This week's releases on the Virtual Console bring us two very distinct titles. If you like to beat your opponent silly with one hand and solve mind-teasers with the other, then the pair of offerings on tap this week are sure to satisfy your thirst. Hit up the video above and be sure to head past the break for more coverage.

VC Monday Madness: Pac-Attack and Riot Zone


Another week means another bunch of Virtual Console games. Like last week, this week only brings us two titles, but one of them excites us very much. The other title is one we're familiar with and enjoy. So, it looks like today is going to be a good day for the Virtual Console.

This week's Virtual Console releases are:
  • RiotZone (1 player, TurboGrafx16, 800 Wii Points)
  • Pac-Attack (1 - 2 players, SNES, 800 Wii Points)
Be sure to stop back later for video wrap-up.

VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 12/17/07


Sorry, it took us longer than we wanted to get this up and out onto the net. Video complications meant I had to film my escapades on the Virtual Console twice. Have no fear, though. I still managed to get the thing done today and play the releases for you. Late is better than never, right? Right?

It's Monday, which means we celebrate the release of new titles on the Wii's Virtual Console. This week has three new titles, each of which has an 800 Wii Point price tag. And, even better, we get a nice variety of titles from a variety of consoles. Variety, we love it!

  • Cybernator (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
  • Alien Storm (Sega Genesis, 1 - 2 players, 800 Wii Points)

VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 12/3/07


This week is just about a wash as far as good Virtual Console games go. But, there is hope, for there is one game we found to be well worth you hard-earned cash money. Which one is it? Well, you'll just have to check out the video above. Or, head past the break, Or, do both.

My goodness, so many choices!

VC Monday Madness: Eternal Champions, ZANAC and The Dynastic Hero


Another Monday, another slew of new games to download on the Virtual Console. For most of you, the big title this week involves combat and bloodshed, as the Mortal Kombat wannabe Eternal Champions becomes available. The other two titles up for grabs aren't ones we have any personal experience with, to tell the truth.
  • Eternal Champions (Sega Genesis, 1 - 2 players, 800 Wii Points)
  • ZANAC (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
  • The Dynastic Hero (TurboGrafx 16 CD-ROM, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
