Japan Gets A Meager October Virtual Console Schedule

Since Nintendo launched WiiWare the Virtual Console has taken a back seat with fewer releases each month. October is going to be no exception in Japan where only nine new games are going to be added online. Fortunately, some of them are quality games like Donkey Kong Country 3, Kunio-Kun Soccer, and a surprising addition of a Supergrafx game. An enhanced version of Dai Makaimura better known as Ghouls ‘n Ghosts can be yours for $8.

Here’s what Japan gets in October 2008:

Nintendo (500 Wii Points)
Kanshakudama Nage Kantarou no Toukaidou Gojuusan Tsugi
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
