So, it's the final week of 2007 and what do we have to show for it? Frickin' Bubble Bobble is what we have got! It's enough for us, hopefully it'll be enough for you. But, on the other hand, the two titles available that don't have a bubble or a bobble in their name aren't that bad, either.

Top Hunter (NeoGeo, 1 - 2 players, 900 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!

Top Hunter has been one fun game to play in the short amount of time we've had to play it. An arcade, side-scrolling, beat-em-up, Top Hunter allows the player to travel in the foreground and background, much like in Fatal Fury. The game also includes several different power-ups and implements vehicles much like in Metal Slug. Overall, it's a really fun game.

Light Crusader (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!

From what we've seen, Light Crusader is a deep RPG that has an interesting magic system. We wish we could've spent more time with the title, but what little we've seen has been fun and shows promise. It appears to have everything that RPG fans crave, so we're pretty sure you'll like what you're getting into.

Bubble Bobble (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!

This is the must-have game this week. Bubble Bobble is a fun and fast game, offering gameplay that is easily accessible to anyone. It's an incredibly basic game, with loads and loads of fun. It's one of the best games available on the NES and we're glad it has finally made its way onto the Virtual Console.

That concludes our look at this week's Virtual Console games. As always, if you have any tips or rumors regarding Nintendo's Virtual Console service, be sure to let us know and come back next week when we take a look at the latest titles available on the Nintendo Wii.
