Today's Virtual Console offerings aren't all too good. We get yet another shooter and it comes packed with a crummy sports game to back it up. Hit up the video above for my complaints and head past the break for the rest.
VC Monday Madness: King's Knight and Powerball
Well, it's here this week. It's Square's second Virtual Console game. And it's joined by a Sega Genesis title. Not too great of a week on the Virtual Console here in North America, but hopefully our outlook will change after we've actually played these games. You can download them after 9am Pacific Time.- King's Knight (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii points)
- Powerball (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii points)

Just because the entire Nintendo-loving community is swept up in Brawl fever doesn't mean that we would neglect our duty of downloading the latest and greatest on the Virtual Console so you know what you're getting into. We try our best to make sure you aren't dropping money where it is not deserved. So, hit up our video above, then be sure to head past the break for the rest of our usual coverage.
Then you can get back to Brawl.
VC Monday Madness: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure and Puyo Puyo 2 [update]

What would Super Mario Bros. look like on the Sega Genesis?
We've been loving these fake Super Mario videos that have become all the rage with the kids on the net. It's like someone was reading our diary, reaching into our brain and sifting through the garbled mess of fanboyish dreams that we think about on a daily basis. It may be kind of violating to have someone so accurately recreate our inner-most desires, but it's a small price to pay for the minutes of joy we got out of the video above.

We apologize for how tardy this is, but something very unfortunate happened. You see, the tripod on our camera broke. This meant trying to balance a camera on a stack of about a billion DVDs. It didn't come out perfect, but at least we got you a majority of the screen.
As for next week, you can get back to expecting the usual

- Operation Wolf (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)

VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 12/31/07
So, it's the final week of 2007 and what do we have to show for it? Frickin' Bubble Bobble is what we have got! It's enough for us, hopefully it'll be enough for you. But, on the other hand, the two titles available that don't have a bubble or a bobble in their name aren't that bad, either.

VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 12/24/07
Sorry folks, but what with it being the holiday and all, I sort of had to put the rush on this. Sorry! But, you'll get the video come hell or high water, so enjoy. It's just the stuff past the break that had to be trimmed out. Hit up the video above and yell at me for cutting corners past the break.
VC Monday Madness: Blades of Steel, Donkey Kong Country 3 and Rolling Thunder 2
Today, a small piece of our childhood will be relived through the release of Blades of Steel. When compared to another popular NES hockey game from Nintendo, Blades of Steel might not be all too great, but it certainly took up more of this blogger's time than the other title back in the day. Rare platform lovers will also be happy to hear that Donkey Kong Country 3 also hits today. So, if you celebrate Christmas, then consider this a present from Nintendo. One that you have to pay for yourself.
This week's Virtual Console releases include:
- Blades of Steel (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (SNES, 1 - 2 players, 800 Wii Points)
- Rolling Thunder 2 (Genesis, 1 - 2 players, 800 Wii Points)
