Looks like we're getting another import title this week, as the previously Japan-exclusive
Ninja JaJaMaru-kun arrives on the U.S. Virtual Console. It's joined by a billiards game on the NES and the third title in the
Golden Axe series for the Virtual Console. We're looking forward to 12pm EST, when we can get our hands on these game.
- Lunar Pool (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Ninja JaJaMaru-kun (NES, 1 - 2 players, 600 Wii Points)
- Golden Axe III (Sega Genesis, 1 - 2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Be sure to stop back later today for our video wrap-up of the day's releases.

Golden Axe 3 is a must buy for me. I loved that series back in the day.

I'm going to preface this by letting you all know I'm a Wii owner and not a troll, but honestly:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
This is the third week straight of VC releases that have been pretty snooze inducing. No good games at retail + crappy VC games DON'T make me happy to own nintendo's little white box.
When are they going to start releasing more AAA SNES and N64 titles?

May I just ask what the heck is Ninja JaJaMaru-kun is, and should I care? Been saving my remaining 1100 Wii Points for something good, anything good...
And is Golden Axe 3 at all better than the first one? And by at all, I mean extremely better, because I downloaded the first one and it was short and bland.

Japan got Magician Lord(NEOGEO), Samurai Shodown(NEOGEO), and Cybernator(SNES), etc.
When it comes to the Wii, Japan will always be Virtually better.
The only way we can get back at them is by getting Bubsy(SNES) and Superman64(N64) before they do.

@4: Superman64?!!!! Are you crazy, I mean that game was B-A-L-L-S!!!! It sucked, it was boring, frustrating, and had like one beat that looped over and over again, we can't best ANYONE with that crappy, crappy game!
Shadow31 @ Oct 22nd 2007 1:59PM
Charles, I am fairly certain Almadi was joking, because I literally don't know a person alive who enjoyed Superman 64.

I haven't purchased a VC title since Streets of Rage...wake me when the SNES drought is over.
AJ @ Oct 22nd 2007 3:16PM
Honestly if Superman for the N64 (it wasn't called Superman 64 remember) came out on the VC I would download it without thinking twice. I mean how could you not, it is one of the most infamous games in the history of gaming. Same goes for ET.

But I really enjoyed Bubsy. Even thought the game was hard as hell. I think I demolished 2 controllers trying to beat the effer.

@Andrew: Those were last Mondays titles. I am pretty sure you will get an email with this weeks games next Monday.
And for the rest of our merry Wii loving group, Yes, I was being sarcastic. I only have but the soothing path of humor to ease away the cruel joke Nintendo of America is playing on me, chanting the mantra "I should have bought a Japanese Wii"
