Virtual Console Goodness

I still stand by the Virtual Console as the best thing Nintendo could have added to the Wii. Its still pricy for some games, but I am having a ball with it. Played Galaga 90 again for the first time in years. Turbo 16 games have such a unique flavor to them. Most of them were very good or better.
http://www.vc-reviews.com/ is a pretty good place to visit if you like that antique stuff. Looks like Japan gets some good games January. Phantasy Star 2 and 1080 Snowboard to name 2 of them, but its gonna be hard to spend another $8 for an old yummy RPG unless I can get it to go and I have Phantasy Star Collection for that.
Speaking of Phantasy Star, looks like Japan gets a collection of Phantasy Star games for the PS2 next year. of course we will never ever see it. I always wondered what kind of achievements these games would have if they made it to the XBOX Live Arcade. Always fun to think about it.
SuperNova 2 upgrade comes out soon and its very very tempting.

DragonQuest 4 commercial

It was just released in Japan recently and I am much looking forward to an American release. Here is a commercial from Japan from the youtubes. http://youtube.com/watch?v=9stwoo98JS4
I played the heck out of the NES version and we got jacked on the PS1 remake in Japan. If I had a voice in the video game community, I would make every DS owner play DQ Monsters Joker. I will be playing this for another month or 2. Just about done with the main story line. I put over 100 hours into the original Dragon Warrior Monster games for the Gameboy.

Happy Holidays!

Another year has come and gone. I want to post my awards for the year shortly so stay tuned. It will be interesting..maybe.
