Dr. Mario is awesome! The only con is, it gets addictive.

here's some new for y'all

http://www.capcom-unity.com/brelston/blog/2014/03/31/mega-may-on-3ds-vote-for-your-favorite-handheld-title-and-it-may-release-first

ol' crapcom is at it again, saying that they'll release a certain gameboy mega man title if it gets the most votes, then they'll release the rest later in the month. i'd go for the first two mega man titles, as well as mega man xtreme 2. the reason why i don't like the first mega man xtreme is because the levels are just copied and pasted in level design since both games take you back to fighting classic mega man x bosses

People say that Mega Man Soccer was bad, but I liked it.

A poll to release any of the games first? I would think they would just start off with Mega Man II and go from their chronological order for the classic games, and releasing the Mega Man Xtreme titles for the rest of the week, but I guess you can't really argue with Crapcom and their logic.

But anyway, it's time for this week's Virtual Console releases for the week of 4/3/2014... and this is a special week.

Wii U Virtual Console:

Metroid Fusion (GBA)
$7.99


Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga (GBA)
$7.99


Advance Wars (GBA)
$7.99



And this ladies and gentlemen marks the official debut of Game Boy Advance titles on the Virtual Console service. Unless of course, you count the 3DS Ambassador's Program.



Metroid Fusion was one of the games included in the 3DS Ambassador's Program. And there will be more GBA titles coming to the Wii U for the remainder of April. Some of which were also included as part of the 3DS Ambassador's program.

In Superstar Saga, I remember trying to protect Princess Peach from being captured in Teehee Valley. That was a struggle.

Week of 4/10/2014:

Wii U Virtual Console:

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA)
$6.99


Warioware Inc.: Mega Microgame$! (GBA)
$6.99



3DS Virtual Console:

Mach Rider (NES)
$4.99


Both Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and Warioware Inc. were included as part of the 3DS Ambassador's Program back in 2011. I might consider checking out at least one of the GBA titles on the Wii U... most likely one I don't already own the original cartridge to.
