More Genesis Classics for Wii VC

The VC Needs A Holiday Too, You Know
Yes, Nintendo's VC lineup for this week is hardly stellar. Actually, it's crap. God-awful, even. Urban Champion, I've never even played, and am in no rush to part with cash-money in order to do so. Baseball? It was a laugh for five minutes when I bought it back in 2003. continue reading »

Military Madness Is Hudson's Next Virtual Console Game!
Holy! In a post on the official Hudson forums, John Master Lee gave the community a clue in the form of "VGCE0590PG46". Cryptic, right? Pfft, no way. It was so obvious! Clearly it was referring to page 46 of the May, 1990 issue of Videogames & Computer Entertainment. continue reading »
