This week on the Japanese Virtual Console: Golden Kung Fu Adventures

Hey, a Japanese Virtual Console update we don't have to be jealous of! Usually, Japan gets all kinds of great stuff, and we get, at best, Japan's great stuff from a month ago. This week: nothing to fret about, really.

• Front Line (Famicom, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)

• Adventures of Lolo (Famicom, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)

• Golden Axe II (Mega Drive, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points)

• The Kung Fu (PC Engine, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)

We like Golden Axe II, but we feel confident it'll be here soon. We already know we're getting The Kung Fu this month (as China Warrior). We've never played Front Line, but it looks very ... proto-NES. That leaves Lolo, which, as a HAL Laboratory title and an okay game, is no doubt the subject of a lot of frothing demand. It'll come out here eventually!
