Retail and download releases for the week of November 24th

Well, there isn't that much in the way of interesting, new gaming content available for the Wii this week. Releases from the previous weeks have been very good, but this week just doesn't have much for us (that is, unless you've been anxiously awaiting the release of Ultimate Band, but that's probably not the case). Head on past the break for the full list of all the new gaming content available for Wii this week.

This week's retail releases are:

King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga
Winter Sports 2 The Ultimate Challenge
Safecracker
Ultimate Band
Cake Mania: In the Mix
Skate City Heroes
AMF Bowling World Lanes
Championship Foosball

This week's WiiWare releases are:

Boingz (RealArcade, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points)
Sudoku Challenge! (Digital Leisure Inc., 1 player, 500 Wii Points)

This week's Virtual Console release is:

Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)

Why does Nintendo (or whoever) release random games that aren't on the SNES? Not that I have anything against Genesis/Megadrive, but as far as sound goes, the SNES port is superior. Not only that, but why can't they release games like Final Fantasy 6 or Earthbound? Why does the ESRB rate several million VC games if Nintendo/Capcom/etc. never release them?

In the case of Earthworm Jim, the Mega Drive/Genesis version was superior due to content rather than sound. EWJ2 however is best played on SNES. Dunno about Boogerman.

As for FF6, Square-Enix are extremely fond of their money and much prefer remaking games 30 times rather than releasing them on VC.

But Earthbound is anyone's guess. Nintendo really need to get that one out.

True. The Genesis Version of EWJ did have an extra level (intestinal distress, which sounds really freaky on the Sega CD version BTW). But yeah, Nintendo really needs to get off their freakin' butts and release it already! I'm glad Square Enix released Secret of Mana on the VC, though.

My, another week with no interesting releases. Oh well, I'm still behind as it is.

Boingz - yet another Wiiware game I won't be purchasing because there's no demo for me to try it out first. Looks interesting, though.

No fucking way BOOGERMAN. Earthworm Jim, Vectorman, now this! That was my favorite Sega Genesis game when i was a kid. I even got one of my sisters old TMNT busses paint boogers on it and called it the booger mobile. I gotta buy this. . .
