Got SMB3 today along with ExciteBike. My first VC purchases (I've had the Wii since June)

There's something up with SMB3's graphics. It kinda tears on the right when your moving towards the end of the level. It's kind of annoying.

Agreed. Other than that, I forgot how awesome this game was. Cannot wait for Mario next week!

Oh yeah, even with that, the game is simply amazing. Bad thing was, my wife played SMB3 for an hour tonight. She loved that game.

Ugh

Volleyball (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): What if we lived in a world where volleyball was played, instead of by humans, by a race of androids, each of which looked exactly the same? Also, what if it was played with a ball that sometimes sounds like cheese when it is struck and sometimes sounds like metal? Volleyball is a game that dares to ask the tough questions.

Axelay (Super NES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): This Konami vertically scrolling shooter is the best game this week, but that's a little bit like being the world's tallest midget. If you're absolutely not going to play Super Mario Galaxy, this is the one for you to get.

Blue's Journey (NeoGeo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points): Here's the game, it never fails, It makes me wanna wag my tail, when it comes I wanna wail ... FAIL! ... OK, so this game isn't actually based on the hit children's series Blue's Clues. But when we tell you that the main character's main weapon is magical leaf, you may just wish it was.

I want some NBA Jam damnit.

I have to wonder what their sales numbers are for some of these games....5 bucks for NES Volleyball? That's brutal.

Blech

• Wrecking Crew (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): When you have contests with your friends to see who can name the most games with Mario in them, they'll always forget Wrecking Crew. It's a scientific fact. Is having a constant reminder of that trump card at your fingertips worth $5.00 to you? That's a question only you can answer.

• Sonic 3D Blast (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): It's like Sonic, but in 3D! ... Hmm. ... There's still a lot of space to fill up here. Well, we could also say that it's like Sonic, but in an isometric view. It's also a great reminder of why more 3D games aren't played with a d-pad.

• Super Air Zonk (TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): In the 90s, if you wanted to denote that your game was the "next" in a series, you couldn't just put a "2" at the end. You had to put one of the following words in the title: "Super," "Air," "Turbo," "3D," "Nitro" or "In Space." Super Air Zonk has two of those words, so you know it's edgy. And according to Wikipedia, the full title is actually "Super Air Zonk: Rockabilly-Paradise," so it's also a must-buy.
