VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 5/5/08
This week, we've got two titles on the Virtual Console tap. How are they? Well, we can't waste precious space here telling you about them. That's what the video above is for! And, if you can't check out our videos for some reason, head past the break for some screens and text.
VC Monday Madness: Renegade and Pokemon Puzzle League

Pachter: Wii to sell 700,000 in March
With the official NPD numbers due any day now, Michael Pachter has tossed out his prediction for the winner of March in the U.S.: Nintendo. He is claiming that the Wii will have moved 700,000 units in the month, with Smash Bros. Brawl being the big reason. Even though he says that Nintendo is still sending more units to Europe than the U.S., he says that March will be different because of, obviously, Smash Bros. Brawl.And, even better is Pachter's prediction that April will see Nintendo doing even better, with both Mario Kart Wii and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon sequels being huge draws. Let's hope he's right!
Wii and friends: A Great Match
Both online and local multiplayer is covered, as well as games that have released and those that are still in production. We hope you find this useful in your own life, in some small way, or at least a good place to link a friend who has no idea what they're getting into with the Wii. So read on and see what we have in store, then come back here and tell us what multiplayer experiences you enjoy most on the Wii!
Pokemon Ranch is the cheeriest damn game ever
Feeling blue for some reason? Then if we were you, we'd plan to make Pokemon Ranch your first WiiWare purchase when the service launches in the states in May.
We're not even exaggerating in that title, either -- this game hits new, extreme heights of chirpiness, not to mention cuteness. In fact, for our money, it's more adorable than this. And yes, even this. People, this game practically vomits rainbows. It caused stone-hearted cynics like ourselves to drop our usual sneering and actually smile. You can try to resist, but it will be futile. Squeal and "awwww" your way past the break for another three videos.

Wii Warm Up: Wii Ware Warm Up
What's your most anticipated purchase? Besides Major League Eating, of course. Perhaps one of the multiplayer puzzle games, like Tetris, Dr. Mario and Bacillus Extermination (likely to be called Virus Buster as it is in Brain Age 2)? A vaguely strategic game like Defend Your Castle or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King? The bubble wrap game? Whatever the Pokemans thing is?
Wii Ware priced and dated for Japan
When it comes to Wii Ware in Japan, Nintendo is cutting it fine. Just this morning, the company announced that the service would launch in the region on March 25th, a mere fortnight from now. The U.S. launch of Wii Ware, you may recall, is down for May 12th.
As well as a date, Nintendo revealed a launch line-up of nine titles with prices that ranged from 500 (Okiraku Ping-Pong Wii and Angel's Solitaire) to 1500 (My Life As A King: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles) Wii points:
- Okiraku Ping-Pong Wii (Arc System Works, 500 points)
- Word Puzzle Mojipittan Wii (Bandai Namco, 1000 points)
- Sakusaku Animal Panic (Konami, 1000 points)

- My Life As A King: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (Square Enix, 1500 points)
- Angel's Solitaire (G-Mode, 500 points)
- Dr. Mario & Bacillus Extermination (Nintendo, 1000 points)

Round up your Pokemon for a photo
You can also pose (your Mii) for pictures with those Pokemans, which can be saved on an SD card and transferred to a computer. A real computer, not one of those in-game Pokémon computers used to transfer captured Pokémon.

Best of 2007: First-party games [update]
VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 12/10/07
Well, our video is later than usual, but with the big Shop Channel update hitting tonight, we kind of had our hands full. It's not often where we have to shoot and edit two videos in one evening. Still, we hate to disappoint, so check out our video wrap-up above and be sure to head past the break for our other coverage of this week's Virtual Console games.
Dojo update: Bonsly assists
Oh no, another Pokemon in Smash Bros. Brawl. No biggy, right? Wrong. We're happy to say that this particular Pokemon has a special ability: it messes Fox up nice and good, as his Reflect does nothing against its power.Why the hate for Fox, you ask? Hey, we've said it time and time again: the guy is cheap. Like, ridiculous cheap. Cheap to the point where we toss controllers out of windows and possibly cause car accidents, as our controller shatters the windshield of a passing driver. So, in a way, this Pokemon saves lives.
