While I wait for the official update, a new rating: Spelunker (NES, Irem) has been rated for NA. I'll edit this once I see what the update is.

My prediction is Phantasy Star II and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom.  |

That's a good guess.   Yes, Nester is right - it's Ninja Gaiden III (NES, Tecmo) and Phantasy Star II (Gen, Sega) for North America this week. Not a bad set at all. ^_^ I have to leave for work at 9 on Mondays now, so these may be coming later on in the day...like now. XD |

According to Nintendo of Europe's official site, it looks like Commodore 64 games will be available on the Virtual Console. I guess this means it's exclusive to Europe for the time being. At only one game released on the European VC per week, you would think that they're only crowding out better games. |

We're getting two now though - we got River City Ransom and something else this week.

Nester - The C64 has many gems. I hope EA lets them put out M.U.L.E. and the Bard's Tale series, and there's always Epyx's back catalog...there's no shortage of awesomeness. It's only more good stuff. ^_^ Come on NoA, bring it here! ^_^
According to Wikipedia, it's a two-fer of NES goodness for Europe and Australia this week, as Street Games (aka River City Ransom, Technos) and Hudson's Adventure Island (Hudson) are the games of choice.
Also, in rating news, Operation Wolf (NES, Taito) has been rated for Europe and Austraila. Along with that, Psychosis (Duo, Compile) will hit NA, Europe and Australia next week.

Hm...interesting. I'm assuming you have a lead on that, my friend? |

I convinced my friend to buy Street Gangs. I think we got game over within 5 minutes because we kept beating each other up. It's my knuckle duster, danmit!
Looks to be a hella fun game though. Maybe I should read a list on what all those different items do with your stats.

The update for NA is indeed Kirby 64 (N64, Nintendo/HAL) and Psychosis (Duo, Compile).
Can't say I cared for Kirby 64 much, though. *shrugs* I prefer Adventure and Super Star over it.

^ It's kind of interesting how Nintendo, once the king of 2D platform games, just couldn't get it right on the N64. Thank goodness for Mischief Makers and Goemon's Great Adventure. Of course, 2D gaming on a console was extremely unpopular during that era. It kinda still is to some extent, I suppose.  |

News - Some import Genny games have been rated today for NA - Pengo (Sega) and Super Fantasy Zone (Sega). Edit - More news from Europe and Australia: Double Dragon (NES, Technos), Break-In (TG16, Naxat) and Final Soldier (TG16, import, Hudson) have been rated for Europe and Australia, and Forgotten Worlds (Genesis, Capcom) has been rated for Europe. Some good stuff, there. Nester - I did like Goemon's Great Adventure, but I didn't have a memory card free of space. XD C'mon Virtual Console!  And I'd download Mischief Makers to see what all the fuss is about. |
