| 38033 | Virtual Console Thursdays | oh wow, THREE virtual console games releasing on the wiiu on the same day? that must be a record :lol: | Benjanime | Oct 13, 2017 | |
| 38032 | Sports Films | Bad Boys and The Marinovich Project were pretty good. | Mr Magic | Oct 13, 2017 | |

It would eventually reappear in September 2013, and now it's on the Wii U Virtual Console. Now, if only the same would happen with Yoshi's Cookie. Especially since the game was shown on the original Wii U Virtual Console trailer before it got delisted from the Wii Shop Channel. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Also, Digital Champ: Battle Boxing was unreleased outside of Japan until it's arrival on the Wii Virtual Console in 2008. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">For the Switch, King of Fighters 95 is released as one of the Neo Geo titles from HAMSTER's Arcade Archives series. King of Fighters is definitely no stranger when it comes to home console ports across consoles from the Neo Geo AES and CD consoles to the Sega Saturn, Playstation, PS2, Wii, and many other systems. Also, for those of you who had the Wii Virtual Console version of King of Fighters 95, you might notice that the game is slightly edited. The blood was removed and Mai's signature bounce was gone. However, both these edits were able to get reinstated through a code that would be installed through the Homebrew Channel. But now, with the ACA Neo Geo version, you can play the game with everything intact, and you can do so on the go. Plus, on top of that, you can play it in English and Japanese, so you'll get just about everything.</span></div> | blueluigi | Oct 13, 2017 | |
| 38030 | Digging through Aladdin's source code | I wish I knew more about coding. Ever since Hot Coffee, I've always wanted to dig around in a games source code and see what secrets I could unlock. | Rick Ace Rhodes | Oct 13, 2017 | |
| 38029 | The Café | It's a messed up situation and we really shouldn't gloat, but I honestly feel the same way too. All these morally righteous Hollywood douche bags are finally being exposed for what they are. I hope Damon and Clooney are the next ones to fall. | Rick Ace Rhodes | Oct 13, 2017 | |
| 38028 | Sports Films | I think I might do an article on the best 30 for 30 films. I have a few in mind, but what's everyone's favorites here? | Rick Ace Rhodes | Oct 13, 2017 | |
| 38027 | Digging through Aladdin's source code | while i'm not one of those people who understand coding in games, it was nice to see some beta elements that didn't make it into the game. seeing the info on the planned sega cd version was pretty neat too. | Benjanime | Oct 13, 2017 | |
| 38026 | Sports Films | If there's anyone that needs a miracle, it's the LA Angels organization. | Mr Magic | Oct 13, 2017 | |
| 38025 | The Café | I know I shouldn't, but I find myself experiencing a bit of joy from the firestorm that is now making it's way into Ben Affleck's life after starting with Harvey Weinstein. I've never liked Affleck as a person, so I have little sympathy now that his scumbag side is being exposed to the public. | Vaporman87 | Oct 13, 2017 | |
