In an effort to keep the fanboys crying, Nintento has come out with another mediocre (at best) list of releases for the Virtual Console. The list for this week:

Mighty Bomb Jack (NES)
Final Fight (SNES)
Ordyne (TG16)

I wont be purchasing any this week but I suppose its a worthy time to go back through and find a classic I may have missed in the past. Check out Bulerias's reviews for this week and past weeks HERE.

And for the full press release from Nintendo, read on.

That's right, the classic game that started the series, Castlevania has found its way onto the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console!

Along with The Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Shockman, this is another decent week for the VC.

Read on for the full announcement which is also found at press.nintendo.com.

As a Wii owner and RPG fan, I have been a little disappointed with the lack of RPGs on both the console and the Virtual Console. But things may start to change as on May 1st, Nintendo will own 80% of game developer Monolith Soft. Monolith is responsible for Xenosaga which has mainly been for Playstation.

Check out the Full Article from IGN.

This weeks Virtual Console titles are:

Punch-Out (NES) - This is one that I have been waiting for! glad to see it finally released so I can relive my childhood and beat Mike Tys^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Mr. Dream

Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Genesis)

Bonk's Revenge (TurboGraphx16)

Read on for the full announcement from Nintendo.com:

At long last, there is a new system update for the Wii (which I am downloading as I write this).

It updates at least the Wii Shop, and allows download of the full version of the Internet Channel!

Will post more as I learn more, or find more links.

According to an article at Bloomberg.com:

"...Electronic Arts Inc., like some of its competitors, underestimated demand for the Wii..."

The article also goes on to say, "Now, publishers are scrambling to get titles to the 3.56 million U.S. and Japanese Wii owners who have made the machine the top-selling game console this year."
