Nintendo updates this week’s VC with one

Wii News | +1 for Europe.

It’s Friday, which means Wii owners can expect yet another stellar title to be available for download from the Virtual Console. This week it’s the SNES golf game Kirby's Dream Course, which is available for 800 points.

And for our European readers, you also get to check out the classic run and gun arcade game Bloody Wolf for 600 points.

A quick heads up – Australian Wii’s will be receiving TurboGrafx-16 games from July 6th, which should no doubt fix this current drought right up. Hopefully.

What the hell are they doing releasing one or two games a week? It doesn't matter if we play catch up with more TG games released at once in Australia (or are we gonna get 1 TG game a week still?). They should have minimum 5 games released a week. What are they waiting for? By the time the Wii ends there will be still more great games yet to be released on VC. It's not hard.

I'm not happy today.

This is so poor from Nintendo. Between the NES, SNES & N64 there could be SO many titles coming out each week, even only taking into account Nintendo Produced titles. Where's Super Punchout? Where's WaveRace? Where's Super Mario 3? Where's anything decent but these third rate titles?
Piece of advice to Nintendo, dont release anything with golf, bowling or tennis (unless it's Mario Tennis 64) cause Wii Sports which was FREE with the Wii is better than 99% of them.

Lets just hope with the T16 games they don't use them as filler but include them every week on top of what we would normally get.

If we get a T16 only week, one might be pissed

Oi, don't diss Dream Course.

Anyway, I know what you man though, we'd like to see some more of the A+ titles, and more titles released per week. 1 is just pathetic, as joejoe said, they won't get enough time to cover most of the games on the consoles at this rate.

They have to spread their entire catalog across four or five years of releases.

If they released all the AAA games on day one, then just had crap left over for the next four years, I'm sure that people would complain that the "VC has run out of steam".

They have probably found which games they have the rights to, done the sums, and said "OK, we have 300 games we can release, so that works out to be one or two a week".

I don't think it's about if it's AAA or not, I think there should be more games released at each time, doesn't matter if it's good or not. There are plenty of games that can be released, not all the console's catalogue will be present on VC, but there needs to be a more healthy, consistant flow. There's plenty games - NES, SNES, N64, MG, TG-16. I can understand not having much N64 games, but there is hardly any SNES games coming.

Then there's Neo-Geo and MSX coming...

Remember, they don't have the rights to all the games on each platform. Just the first-party ones.

I think the third-parties who are releasing games have some say over when they are released. The weeks when we have plenty of games seem to be the ones when there are a couple of third-party releases in addition to usual one or two Nintendo first-party ones.
