Well, our video is later than usual, but with the big Shop Channel update hitting tonight, we kind of had our hands full. It's not often where we have to shoot and edit two videos in one evening. Still, we hate to disappoint, so check out our video wrap-up above and be sure to head past the break for our other coverage of this week's Virtual Console games.
Baseball Stars 2 (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!
Oh, what a great baseball game. Baseball Stars 2 is one fun time on the Virtual Console, completely jacked up on steroids and offering up a fast-paced and fun experience. The fielding could be a bit better, but overall it's well worth the price of admission.
Ghosts 'n Goblins (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: download it!
One of three different versions of the game available on the Virtual Console, we never get tired of Arthur. Personally, it's one of our favorite Capcom franchises. It may be unrelentingly difficult and punishing at times, but it's one of the most challenging and rewarding games out there. No pain, no gain!
Pokémon Snap (Nintendo 64, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: do not download
The Pokemon franchise is no stranger to spin-offs. It's completely understandable, as the franchise is one of Nintendo's biggest. But, some games just shouldn't happen, like the N64's Pokémon Snap. It's an on-rail game where you take pictures of different Pokemon. It's not very fun, not very difficult and fairly monotonous. For $10, your money is better spent elsewhere.
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.
