I didn't expect Hudson's Website being correct for today's vc games. It is a nice surprise as a result. I will be download Star Parodier as an early Birthday gift to myself since there wouldn't be any vc releases on Aug. 17th.

Break In actually looks pretty cool, but of all things, why would they release an import a pool sim? Just seems a little odd to me. But then again, some people collect Madden games, so what do I know?
No love for www.Homestarrunner.com / Strongbad?

This weeks Wiiware game is the following:
Midnight Pool-800 Wii points
the source is http://www.wiiware-world.com/news/20..._midnight_pool .
I will not be doing the next 2 Wiiware week updates. Someone else will need to do the updates on August 25th and September 1st.
I will be going on a 12 day trip starting later on this week. I will not have any internet contact as a result.
This week's vc releases are the following:
Megaman -nes 500 Wii points
Neo Turf Master -Neo Geo 900 Wii points
The source is http://www.vc-reviews.com/news/2008/...o_turf_masters .
Megaman 1 should do download by the people that don't own the Nes version and don't don't like Megaman 1's control in the Game Cube Version of Megaman Anniversary.
Here is a gameplay video of Neo Turf Masters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fAqXiRt8sA .
There is no real reason to download Neo Turf Masters. Neo Turf Masters is on SNK Arcade Classics. You will be saving money if you are interest in more than one game on SNK Arcade Classics.. Every Neo Geo game is on some type of a collection so far or one that is coming out later this year.

Yes, Neo Turf Masters is a fun, fast-paced arcade golf game but not for $9 when the latest SNK collection can be had for less than twice that (saw the PS2 vers. for $15). IIRC most Neo-geo VC games are on that disc.
& Mega Man is too hard for me to enjoy, but I know it's a classic.

Europe got Super Mario RPG as a vc game tonight in North American time zones. The source is http://www.vc-reviews.com/news/2008/...he_lost_levels .
I hope North American gamers will be getting this game soon since Europe has this game now.
This is my final Virtual Console update thread post before being gone starting tomorrow to the night of Spetember 2, 2008.

And what about other PC Engine imports like Gradius II or Rondo of Blood? That's probably Konami's fault, really. So why didn't we get either of those two well-known classics, and instead we get the bio-miracle game? Not that it's a bad game, it just doesn't make any sense?
The whole US VC lineup just doesn't make sense.
