It's good to be back in the saddle. I've finished the video and placed it above for your viewing pleasure, checking out the duo of this week's Virtual Console releases. Hopefully, in failing to provide you guys with a video last week, I haven't lost my touch. And, by "my touch," I mean the ability to produce a video that only makes you want to vomit mildly.
Head past the break for the usual follow-up coverage.
Psychosis (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: do not download
Wii Fanboy says: do not download
First of all, it is incredibly difficult to track down an image of Psychosis. Perhaps that is a testament to how unforgettable it is? It isn't a horrible game, but technical flaws keep it from being something that I can, in good judgment, recommend. Pass on this one.
Kirby64: The Crystal Shards (Nintendo 64, 1 - 4 players, 1,000 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!
It's Kirby. It's a first-party game. It's a N64 title. There's plenty of reasons why you should download it and close to none as for why you shouldn't. So download it already!
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.

I think I might just use DailyMotion all of the time now. YouTube has been a pain with the uploading lately.

Kirby 64 does seem a little slow-paced, but I haven't played it before. Personally I'm a fan of the 2D Kirby games, but I'll give this one a shot. It's just so hard because I know I have 900 Wii Points and as you know the lowest amount you can buy is 1000 Wii Points. *sigh*

Just saw that on gizmodo. Very sad.

Kirby looks cool, price is a little steap though.

Holy cow! Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards... uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado :D. One of the best games i've ever played :D
Lo estaba esperando...

Kirby is my favorite N64 game. If you're put off by the 3D, rest assured that the gameplay is strictly side-scrolling.

I loved Kirby 64 back in the day. It was my first Kirby game, so the whole power-merging thing was awesome to me.
I think something like that would be awesome in the next Smash Bros, personally. =P

I had 1000 points set aside for when something popped up that I really wanted. I'm glad I had them today.

Drats, I have no more Wii Points, and I've been looking forward to playing Kirby 64 again for years. I remember beating it the night I rented it way back in the day. Despite the easiness I still adored it. Someone should gift it to me *wink wink*

I didn't vomit... but I did get that burning puke feeling in my throat.
David Hinkle @ Feb 25th 2008 11:50PM
So that's an improvement, then? Maybe I'm getting better at this!
:D

Kirby 64 isn't a first party game. It was developed by HAL Labs, making it a second party game.

I'm *itching* to buy Kirby, but I have so many other games on my plate. I'm *actively* playing:
3 of the 4 games on the Zelda Collector's disc (GC)
Transcendence (PC Nethack-in-space game)
Odin Sphere
RE4 Wii
BioShock (playing back through since the new content dropped)
Orange Box (beat Portal + bonus content, now I'm working on Eps 1 and 2)
Patapon (PON PON PATAPON PON PON PON!)
I don't need to toss another one onto that pile just yet.
