King of the Monsters smashing on to the Virtual Console?

By Spencer . May 9, 2008 . 12:35pm

The OFLC thinks so and it’s probably going to be the Neo Geo version. I can’t imagine SNK releasing the Super Nintendo / Genesis port done by Takara. On top of monster wrestling, city smashing fun Ninja Commandos may also…

Which Space Invaders are attacking the Wii?

By Spencer . May 8, 2008 . 8:51am

The ESRB has another unannounced game sitting in their database, Space Invaders as a Nintendo Wii title. As much as I want this to be confirmation of Space Invaders Get Even, I’m inclined to believe this is a Virtual Console…

By Spencer . May 2, 2008 . 1:32pm

Double Dragon, also known as this week’s lonely Virtual Console game for North America, is quite different from the arcade version. At the beginning of the NES adaptation Billy can only punch and kick. Want to do the signature spinning…

Earthbound coming to the Virtual Console… eventually

By Spencer . May 2, 2008 . 9:48am

Earthbound was axed from the masterpiece section in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but that doesn’t mean Nintendo won’t release it on the Virtual Console. Perhaps, it’s coming sooner than expected. The ESRB has a rating for Earthbound as a Wii…

VC Monday: Double your dragons, double your fun

By Levi . April 28, 2008 . 6:34am

Wow…that has to be the lamest VC Monday title I've EVER come up with. Ahem…anyway, today's Virtual Console release is a mere one game. But hey, at least it's good, right? Somebody finally snatched up the US rights to the…

Earthworm Jim coming to the Wii Virtual Console

By Dan Zuccarelli . April 22, 2008 . 10:08am

Now, this is news I can get excited about.   Interplay has announced that they're bringing four of their classic IP's to the Wii, and in my estimation not soon enough. Earthworm Jim, Earthworm Jim 2, Boogerman, and Clayfighter as…

Aksys to bring Double Dragon and other Technos games to the Virtual Console

By Spencer . April 14, 2008 . 12:16pm

I was wondering when we would see Double Dragon II: The Revenge on the Virtual Console, but there was a potential issue. Technos is bankrupt, Million has the assets. Just to complicate matters further, Acclaim  and Tradewest the US publishers…

VC Monday: Shooting and more shooting

By Levi . April 14, 2008 . 6:35am

It's an all-Sega shooter week on the Virtual Console, and the titles we get aren't half bad, either. First, Mega Turrican, the sequel to Super Turrican by Factor 5. Released for the Genesis in 1995, Mega Turrican doesn't differ entirely…

Ninja Combat and other possible Neo Geo VC games

By Spencer . April 11, 2008 . 8:51am

Where have all the Neo Geo games gone? They started showing up last year, but we haven’t seen a steady stream of Neo Geo games on the Virtual Console. Their library is waiting to be digitally distributed.   What’s next…

Time for another exciting edition of VC Monday, Siliconera readers! Well, okay, not really that exciting. In fact kind of disappointing, honestly. This week we get two NES games. First, Yoshi's Cookie, a puzzle game starring Yoshi and Mario in…

In news straight out of the "Never saw it coming" department, the OFLC has rated four new import TG-16/TG-CD titles for the Virtual Console, and the most interesting among them is Cho Aniki. I honestly never thought I'd see the…
