Ok, so I'm not being completely upfront here: this Nintendo Download has nothing to do with Disney's Jafar (one "f!"), the evil vizier from what may be the best animated film of all time. This week actually features Jaffar, the original evil video game vizier from Prince of Persia, which is hitting the Wii Virtual Console (on the SNES no less; my favorite version!)

The full line-up features Balloon Pop Remix (eShop, $7.99), Heyawake (eShop, $7.99), Crazy Hunter (DSiWare, 500 Points), and Prince of Persia (Wii VC, 800 Points).

Out of all these, I highly recommend Prince of Persia, but Balloon Pop Remix doesn't look too shabby either. If you're curious as to how fun popping balloons can be, try and check out Balloon Pop Festival, which is already on WiiWare.

And here I thought the Virtual Console was going to start getting the 16bit Era Disney games. Aladdin was a joy in licensed game merchandise.

You know they'd just give us the SNES Aladdin game instead of the version everyone actually likes.

I thought we might be seeing the Genesis version of Aladdin for a moment there on VC. Now I am sad

You know what you've done here today, Chris. FORSHAME!

All I hear is: "Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that!"

Next time I'll be sure and use a Ducktales header to give further false hope for amazing 8 and 16-bit era Disney games.

SNES Aladdin is much better than Genesis Aladdin. There, I said it.

You're such a soundrel.

+1 to SNES Aladdin.

I was momentarily excited that maybe Aladdin SNES was coming.

That Prince Ali song was so amazing.

You're speechless, I see. A fine quality in a wife!

Sweet. SNES Prince of Persia was the best. Had 20 levels instead of 10 and boss characters up the wazoo.

Gamescook

I still want Terranigma and Power Blade, Nintendo.

Dammit Nintendo! Where are my goddamn Virtual Boy games!
THEY COULD WORK PERFECTLY WITH THE 3DS

The best animated film of all time? have you watched it recently? The humor is so dated it makes one wonder why we laughed at them in the first place. Beauty and the Beast is better... like aeons of light years better.
