VC Import Mondays - March 10, 2008

Well considering most people haven't turned off Super Smash Bros. Brawl since the huge midnight launch on Saturday night, Nintendo must have decided to change up the Virtual Console releases for this week by releasing 2 Japanese import titles:

• DoReMi Fantasy: Milon 's DokiDoki Adventure (SNES - 900 Wii Points)
  
• Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu (Sega Genesis - 900 Wii Points)

I do not know much about these two titles because they were never released in North America, but fans of Super Mario Bros. 2 know that the original American release of that game was just a "Mario" updated version of DokiDoki Panic, which is obviously from the same series as DoReMi Fantasy. I still don't understand why Nintendo has to charge a 100 point premium for a game that never gets localized for North America and is distributed digitally, costing them the same price to release any other game, but that's beyond me! Til next Monday, see you on Brawl!

Weekly Releases - March 11, 2008

Another mediocre week on the game release front...it's just that time of the year

Playstation 3:

• Condemned 2: Bloodshot
• Pro Evolution Soccer 2008

Nintendo Wii:

• Super Smash Bros. Brawl
• House of the Dead 2 & 3

Obviously this is the week of the Wii. Brawl is really a special game and is alrady the front runner for Game of the Year. I never invested in a Wii Zapper, but House of the Dead looks like a good play, even though this is just an example of Sega looking to make a dollar on the popularity of the Wii.

Deals of the Week - March 9, 2008

Sorry for the delay in updating the site, but I am officially back. Now here are some good deals of the week:

First of all, today is Super Smash Sunday and if anything is a deal, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) is a dal and a half at its regular price of $49.99. After playing a few hours of Subspace Emissary (Adventure Mode), I can tell you that this game has plenty of value for the dollar.
