I had been kind of thinking this gets a bit confusing. Shouldn't the 3DS have its own update list and instead of saying Wii the titles should say whether they are Genesis, SNES, NES originals etc.?
Or are you not actually firing up the consoles and just copying whatever the website says?
I didn't really see the need to make another Virtual Console topic when this one works just fine (a simple editing of the topic title would work as well), but whatever you guys want works for me.
I'm only noting which systems VC each game is for to keep this from getting confusing, although I can see how this can make things further confusing.

I also haven't been particularly crazy about the format.
I don't see a need for two threads, but why not do it like this?
Wii - Super Mario World (SuperNes)
Wii - Mega Man 9 (WiiWare)
DS - The Oregon Trail (DSiWare)
3DS - Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge (Game Boy)
3DS - Excitebike (3D Classics)
3DS - Let's Golf 3D (eShop)
Basically, consistency between the two instead of listing them two different ways, and leave no doubt just what sort of release it actually is. The current way can easily leave someone unsure of just what type of release is being mentioned.
It's not particularly clear here just what Mega Man 5 is. Is it a Wii Virtual Console release (Which it was), is it a Virtual Console NES release for the 3DS, is it a 3D Classics version of Mega Man 5 for the 3DS, etc.

I think the easiest way of all would be to mirror the PS1 classics on PSN thread (that I've been too lazy to update) and re-edit the first post each time to include every single game released in order of release, and organize it your way. That would be a way to get it more organized later on. That or someone just makes a list topic to partner all of these threads into one.
It's clear if you've noted the format I started using. It it's a normal VC Wii game, there is nothing after the title of the game. NES on 3DS says (3DS) after it, 3D Classics say (3D Classics), 3DS VC releases say (GB) as all #DS VC releases that aren't one of the previous two are gameboy games (currently, anyway).
However, I do like the idea of either just editing the first post or just making a combination thread. Sadly, the topic creator for this thread hasn't been around in a while, so a new thread will need to be in order.
I understand it, but there's no harm it making it 100% obvious, either. The current way leaves room for a bit of confusion and is easily rectified, I think.
I like the idea as well. Keep a master list in alphabetical order for each relevant platform included on the Virtual Console service (Or by release date if you wanted to go that way). And at the top of that post above the list, show that week's latest releases. I wouldn't mind doing it both ways. Keep a master list and latest update in post 1, yet still add on a post to the thread each week to hopefully encourage some participation and discussion about that week's games.
Maybe an administrator could give you editing privileges to the 1st post of the thread. Worth asking about to keep things all in one place and it doesn't seem out of line if the forum software permits it since you're the one that's taken it upon himself to keep the forum updated regularly (itobandito, the thread creator, hasn't even logged into the forum for 10 months now, so it's not like you'd be hijacking his thread).

Wouldn't it make even more sense to use something like Google docs spreadsheets to store the master list, and just post the additions here?
That way you've got your list in a public, sortable format, but for those who just want to see what's new they still have their quick hit fix here?
Time will be when the broadest river dries
And the great cities wane and last descend
Into the dust, for all things have an end
To be honest, I really prefer the way the PSN releases thread is handled on CAG: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=180647
One guy edits his post every week with the new releases, then posts said releases anyway so the people with e-mail alerts turned on get a notice. It also makes for a good flow of conversation, something I note the topics around here lack.

As no one has taken the steps yet to unify the download release topic or otherwise make an improved version of this one, I'm going to go ahead and post this weeks releases.

Any idea what the Pokedex update does?
