Nintendo of Europe rubs it in with Hanabi Festival video
The strangest thing about this Hanabi Festival video, found on the Dutch Nintendo Channel, is seeing Nintendo promoting the Virtual Console at all. Nintendo of America grudgingly allows the bare minimum of content to be released to the (apparently) hated service, and would never dream of going so far as to have a special event like the Hanabi Festival or talk about it outside of that one press release every Monday morning.
The trailer features video footage of all of the games in the latest Hanabi Festival, from the celebrated (Super Mario RPG) to the ... celebrated for some reason (Spelunker). We may have most of these particular games, but we want our own Hanabi Festival!

Um why the whining blogpost? So far haven't we gotten all a festival games as permanent downloads (not just during festival time) in the US?
Wiifanboy has been reallly negative about wii anything lately.

Nothing? The ENTIRE Buzz! series on PS2, 3, and P, and now even the new game 2 months before? PSP GPS, GoCam, and the whole DVB thing? UMD echochrome? Maybe you're just on the wrong console. You DO have Nintendo "Star Points". All NOA gave us was a 3 month subscription to Nintendo Power, aka Watch us give our games great scores! and that ship has sailed.
