VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 4/7/08
Of this week's Virtual Console releases, there's really only one game I came out caring about. Which one is it? Well, you're just going to have to watch the video above, silly pants! Or, you know, head past the break for the other half of our VC Monday Madness coverage.
Yoshi's Cookie (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: do not download
It's not that Yoshi's Cookie is a bad game, just that it's a bit too monotonous in its NES installment to warrant purchase in my eyes. Sure, I love puzzle games as much as, if not more than, the next person, but you can see for yourself in the video above why I can't recommend this for download. If this were the SNES game, however, I might have a different tune to sing.
Bases Loaded (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!
Sweet, sweet childhood, here you are in the form of a Virtual Console download. This NES game has almost everything a baseball fan could want in a retro download: a vs. mode for playing with a friend and a CPU AI that tests your skills inning after inning. Forgive me if I love baseball, but it is my native country's pastime.
That concludes our look at this week's Virtual Console games. As always, if you have any tips or rumors regarding Nintendo's Virtual Console service, be sure to let us know and come back next week when we take a look at the latest titles available on the Nintendo Wii!
