This week's VC releases: Best week ever? photo

Despite the fact that Nintendo has not yet sent out a press release regarding this week's Virtual Console releases, I'm about to blow your mind with what might be the best week of releases ever. Ready?

How about Breath of Fire II (SNES, 1 player,  800 Wii Points), Ghouls N' Ghosts (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points) and Super C (NES, 2 players, 500 Wii Points)? Soiled yourselves yet? Well, get to it, we won't judge you -- that's what we did at PAX all weekend!

I have to hand it to Nintendo -- this is the week where they could have released Deadly Towers, and no one would have noticed. We're all going to be too busy playing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption to care, right?

WTF? Super C but not Contra? Does Konami just hate us or something?

And when do we get MegaMan? EU's had it for over a month now...
I guess I finally get to try out BoF.

Time for cliche statement #8000
Drumroll please:

"It's a trifecta!"

This is going to be an excellent week. Breath of Fire II, Ghosts & Ghouls, and Super C. Awesome.

BoF 2 is pretty hard, actually. I guess you better level up a lot. (Yay for roms)

Dude, just buy "Mega Man Anniversary Collection" and "Mega Man X Collection". Buy them used for like $12. Its out for GC. Unless you want to pay a shit load for each one just so you can play with the totally awesome Classic Controller.

This is a pretty good week, especially considering Corruption mania is in full effect. I may have to pick up BoF 2 and Ghouls and Ghosts.

I would like to play the Mega Man X Collection but I can't find a copy. I'll keep looking. I wonder what they going to release next week.

I reserve my right to declare best week ever until Chad Concelmo gives his stamp of apporval.

Astoundingly, I've never played Earthbound. And I'm more than willing to give Nintendo cold, hard cash for it, should they present me the chance.

I'm still waiting for Metal Warriors for SNES... That will be the best week ever, imo.

Nice. This works out well, because I was actually going to hook up my Wii again today, on account of Metroid Prime 3.

Wow. This is a pretty great week! Go Nintendo! I really was expecting a Clu Clu Land or something after the Super Metroid head-exploding awesomeness that was last week. But is this the best week ever? Hmmm ... tune into RetroforceGO! to see (hint: YES!)... :)

Holy shit Super C! Now they only need to release two more VC games to satisfy me, the original Contra, and SMB3

That's better. Thank you for the link, deanhatescoffee. Great week.

@Blaaguuu:

I have an insane fever dream that they will someday implement a networked multiplayer feature for all VC games, and they will inaugurate this technology with the release of Metal Warriors. There would be much soiling of trousers.

Also, the part at the beginning of BoF II where the ghostly hand punches the main character in the head is awesome. I've had that game on GBA for years now...
