    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 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.

                  Re: Wii Online and Virtual Console Discussion

                  Virtual Console Releases for 11/26:

                  * Double Dribble (NES, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Is a police officer banging on your door like he's trying to serve a warrant? No! That's just the sound of the ball bouncing in Double Dribble, silly. For 500 points you can play a game that manages to be both a basketball simulation and a mental endurance test. Yippee!

                  * Vegas Stakes (Super NES, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points): Dear videogame industry: The next time you're going to work on a game that would would require people pay $8 to play SNES blackjack, don't. Why not go volunteer your time at a homeless shelter? Side note: If your grandma is one of the Wii's legion of old fans, you may want to let her know about this casino sim. Maybe it'll keep her out of the bingo halls.

                  * Ecco Jr. (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): If your kid has never been able to master simultaneously pushing a button to make a dolphin swim and being totally bored, you can probably go ahead and blow those college savings on a Lamborghini. But at least now there's a game on Virtual Console made especially for them.
                  Sweet!! Double Dribble is out! That must mean Blades of Steel isn't that far behind.

                    Wow, Double Dribble! I loved that as a kid...all the slam dunks were like cutscenes. Don't think it's necessarily 5 bucks worth for half an hour of nostalgia though. What was fun when I was 10 isn't necessarily quality now.

                        Yeah, I thought it was awesome in 1988, but nowadays running the court with 5 identical players with no discernable skill differences just doesn't do it for me.

                        Tecmo Bowl really changed the sports game industry in that regard.

                          I'm a relatively new Wii owner, and was thinking Double Dribble could be my first VC purchase.

                          What other VC games could you guys recommend? I don't think I want to tackle any of the old Marios, Metroids or Zeldas quite yet, as I have all three of the current versions to play (should keep me busy for a while).

                          Are there any sports games like Tecmo, etc..that you guys have liked? Other quirky platformers like Kirby also interest me.

                          Thanks!

                            I still enjoy Punch-out. It was one of my first VC purchases.

                                I still enjoy Punch Out too...

                                I also have Toejam and Earl, but i was talking to my parents and we all were like "Wow, I can't believe this is all there is"...I'd play that with my dad a lot as a kid...

                                I respect and have fond memories of the past, but TJ and E made me realize that they're not always as fun to play now. Some still hold up, to some extent, but not all.
