VC Monday Madness: Yoshi's Story, Super Thunder Blade and World Class Baseball

by David Hinkle { Sep 17th 2007 at 9:45AM }

We're always glad to see a N64 title release on the Virtual Console, as there are plenty of titles from that system that we feel deserve another play. Sadly, though, this week's releases don't include any of those N64 games. Instead, we're presented with a bunch of games that aren't all that notable.

This week's Virtual Console releases are:

Yoshi's Story (N64, 1 player, 1000 Wii Points)
Super Thunder Blade (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
World Class Baseball (Turbografx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points)

Gotta play Yoshi's Story again, it's one of the games I've been waiting for!

Yoshi story was a great game. I wish that they (nintendo) had some sales on wiipoint cards though.

Yeah, sorry Nintendo Wiifanboy but Yoshi's Story is a game I've been waiting for because its one of the only one's that my Girlfriend wants to play.

I helped my sister beat that back in the day. She might want me to buy it for her.

Will nintendo be releasing a nintendo branded hardrive, because the flash memory,save function and vc games will clash eventually if not already.

Sounds like someone needs to give Yoshi another chance. It's actually a great game.

Been looking forward to World Class Baseball for a long time. Easily the best baseball on the VC (and honestly the Wii though Powerful Pros could take that title)

Next to Baseball Stars, WCB is the best baseball I could think of in the potential VC catalogue. It's like RBI baseball, but the scores are more realistic. The scores and HRs are very much in-line with baseball scores and HRs (before the steroid era...so they are actually LOW compared to today).

If you are interested in a game where the end result is closer to a real baseball score, this is your game. (if you are looking for arcade-y, try something else ;)

Only in World Class Baseball can you play with players with original names like the mighty Fuka! And that ought to count for something.

It might be a slow week for some, but for me, it's time to add some points to the account. World Class Baseball is a very enjoyable game.

SWEET!I love Yoshi Story!

Took a pass on this week's VC update. Yoshi's Story was tempting, but not tempting enough.

Decided to finally buy Donkey Kong Country 2. One of my most memorable games, I remember dying to find it in stores just a few years ago and couldn't.

Cheers to Nintendo!
