Today is a pretty sweet day for the Virtual Console, what with a high profile, fun game like
Bubble Bobble hitting the scene. We can't wait to get our download on later, as we have very fond memories of playing the NES game into the early hours of the morning during our younger years. As for the other titles available, we can't say we're familiar with them, so we're anxious to try the "new to us" games.
This week's Virtual Console games include:
- Bubble Bobble (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Light Crusader (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
- Top Hunter (NeoGeo, 1 - 2 players, 900 Wii Points)
And, of course, be sure to stop back later for our video wrap-up.

Oh my God. Bubble Bobble on Virtual Console? The only thing that can make this day better is Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger coming out. And even though they're not (at least, not today) I can certainly say I am one happy Wii owner.

I'm still waiting for more Nintendo 64 games to appear on the Virtual Console, there are a few rare games that I haven't been able to find anywhere.
Like:
Forsaken
Hybrid Heaven
Mega Man 64
Mischief Makers
Nightmare Creatures
Quest 64
for example.

Mischief Makers... oh man that game was fun. Short but fun.
Remember this is the first release of the nearly new year.

Finally! Another Quest 64 lover! No seriously, I haven't found anyone else who enjoyed that game other than me... I really hope that comes too...

I hardly know a thing about Bubble Bobble, other than hearing the name plenty of times.
But I digress... I just want Super Mario RPG, dangit! I know I have the SNES cartridge, but I never feel like taking the thing out of storage, I just want the game on my Wii!!!

What a great set of releases!
It's been a while since I DL'd all three games on a release. I'm most excited about Bubble Bobble, though. Can't wait to get my hands on some two player dinosaur bubble burping acting with my girlfriend, she's gonna love this.

I loved Bubble Bobble, when I was a kid our 7-11 had arcade games in it, and this was one of them , I got addicted to it while waiting to play Altered Beast. Ahhhh.....BigGulp,Nacho's,Friends and Video Games. Childhood was sweet!!
