The details for each game are: Kid Icarus - NES - 1 player - 500 Wii Points Ice Climbers - NES - 1-2 players - 500 Wii Points Kirby - 1 player - 500 Wii Points Will you be joining us in giving these a download today?

    Ah yes, another Monday and another update to the Virtual Console. Today's update provides us three tasty morsels of retro-gaming goodness in Tennis (NES), Space Harrier II (Genesis) and Military Madness (TG-16). All of our socks were collectively rocked at the sight of new games here at the Fanboy offices, however our duties keep us from downloading and enjoying them. How about you fine readers? Any of you out there on the intertron give these games a download and try them out? Or are you usually a late participant in Virtual Console Mondays?
