The latest ESRB update confirms two wonderful things that we knew were happening at some point: first, that Mega Man and the sublime Mega Man 2 would be on the way to our Virtual Console soon; second, that Earthworm Jim would make an appearance.
Even more interesting -- Earthworm Jim has been rated for a while, but the latest update includes a rating for Earthworm Jim 2 on the Wii! Strangely, the new rating is for the Wii and Genesis versions, while another rating is already on the site for the Genesis game. Now it's got two E ratings! It's extra appropriate for families.
Other interesting new games found in ratings: Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity, an Incredible Machine/Crayon Physics hybrid; Potpourii, a matching puzzle game; and Midnight Pool and Midnight Bowling from Gameloft.

Airman is by far the easiest boss and stage on Megaman 2. If not the whole series.

In the wise words of Earthworm Jim: Groovy!

Doesn't mean anything, they rated earthbound forever ago and it's still not there, Nintendo doesn't care anymore. :[

Make that two skeptics. Sure, they rated those the ESRB ratings, but what does it do? There's dozens of ESRB-rated games but will they ever come out? Unless someone has solid proof, I say no.
