Space Invaders: The Original Game (SNES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: do not download
So, all you're really going to get here is the classic Space Invaders game. The original game is great, don't get me wrong, but it's hardly worth $8. Do yourself a favor and use that $8 towards a better version of the game, like Space Invaders Extreme. Or, you know, play it for free in your browser over the internet.
Forgotten Worlds (Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: do not download
It's not that Forgotten Worlds is a bad game, it's just that the Virtual Console is so over-saturated with entries in the shmup genre. Add that it's incredibly difficult and you get an experience that isn't worth your $8. Skip this one.
Each week, we here at Wii Fanboy like to check out the latest Virtual Console releases in our VC Monday Madness feature, in the hopes that you can make the most sound decision possible regarding purchasing retro titles from the Wii Shop Channel. If you're looking for more retro goodness, check out Virtually Overlooked, which talks about games that should be on the Virtual Console.

Well, I have gotten a few extra friends today, so random people might show up, I don't know about Go1d, but I have his FC...
I guess i'll get more people on Thursday cause it's hard to ask on comments >_<
Now that I have my FC it'll be easier to get people.

Apparently a day late and a SHMUP Short...I can't believe it!

A day late is better than not at all. I appreciate the video.
