  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 4/6

    This week, Nintendo launched the DSi, along with six sexy DSi Ware games. Who cares about those? This is the Virtual Console Column! We’re here to talk about this week’s new VC game, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons from the SNES. I’ve…actually never heard of this, so let’s get some opinions from some people who have!

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 3/30

    While I was waiting for Nintendo execs to completely and thoroughly embarrass themselves during Nintendo’s big speech at GDC, they surprised me with a decent storage solution for the Wii and some brand new arcade games added to the VC. Those games are all good, but oh, what’s this? Some more goodness coming out this…

    Good gravy, there are two games being released this week?! And it’s not even my birthday! This week, we’re getting Bomberman “Ëœ94 and Detana!! Twinbee, both from the TurboGrafx-16. Not bad. While I figure out what the occasion is, and if I have to get Nintendo anything back now, here’s what DHGF thinks!

  • Virtual Console Wrap-Up: Pokemon Week Special Edition

    Usually we only cover the most recent releases for the virtual console, but in honour of Pokemon Week here at Diehard GameFAN, we’re looking at the two N64 games feature everyone’s favorite cock fighting seizure monsters: Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Puzzle League!

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 3/16

    Remember those fancy new Commodore 64 games Nintendo put out a few weeks ago? Well, they finally remembered them, too, as this week, we’re getting Summer Games II. What happened to Summer Games I?

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 3/9

    Last week saw the release of a rather rare and classic game in Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. In fact, the releases have been pretty good for the past few weeks. Now, if you’re like me, you’re thinking, “Hey, where’s the mediocrity?” Well, it seems Nintendo thought that too, because this week, we’re…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 2/23

    Can it be? Can it possibly be, that more than one game is being released on the VC this week? Holy testicle Tuesday! It had to happen sometime. So what’s the occasion? Well, this week Nintendo is releasing 3 games from the old Commodore 64, so I guess they’re starting that off with a good…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 2/16

    Hello, and welcome to the worst day of my life. If you haven’t heard, it appears EarthBound, aka the best game of all time, won’t be seeing release on the Virtual Console any time soon due to some legal issues. So, fine. Let’s see what they’ll put out instead in order to earn my money.…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 2/2

    The parade (One game a week is hardly a parade, but work with me.) of good games on the VC continues, as we have Sonic Chaos from the Master System. Not bad, and it could be worse. Let’s see what we have to say about it!

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 1/26

    Well, the one game a week plan Nintendo has been using for a while has worked out so far, with some pretty good games being released. Let’s see if that trend holds up as Wonder Boy in Monster Land from the Sega Master System is our one game for the week. Let’s hear what your…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 1/19

    Hey look, another one game week. Is it still getting tiresome if the one game is good every week? Well, let’s find out. This week, we’re getting M.U.S.H.A. from the Sega Genesis. And here’s what your friends at DHGF have to say about it!

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 1/12

    Hey friends, we’re back with another discussion of this week’s Virtual Console releases. Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Damn, these guys sure do a lot of complaining about these games.” While sometimes that may be so, we’ll have to find something else to complain about this week. This week, we’re getting Castlevania III…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 1/5

    Let’s see if I can out myself in Nintendo’s shoes for a moment. People have been complaining about them releasing only one game a week on the Virtual Console…what’s the best way to appease them? Of course, release one game on Wii Ware too, making all things equal! Let’s see how foolproof that is, as…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/29

    Just when you thought they were only going to be releasing one game every week on the VC, this week…they still released only one game. Ha! Fooled you! Ok, that was lame. But let’s hope this week’s new VC game isn’t lame, too. This week, we’re getting Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II. Let’s see what everyone…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/22

    Another week, another single game released on the Virtual Console. It’s getting kind of annoying, although to be fair, it’s a much-anticipated and renowned title that probably should stand on its own: Phantasy Star IV from the Genesis. And let’s see what DHGF has to say about it!

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/15

    It’s the holiday season, the time when Santa makes his list, checks it twice and brings gifts to all the good boys and girls. Will Nintendo release a good game on the Virtual Console for Santa to bring us? Well, this week, we’re getting Enduro Racer from the Master System. Yep, I’d say it looks…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/8

    They’ve done it again, folks. The Virtual Console has experienced another one game weak. I mean, week. Stupid Freud…

  • Virtual Console Wrap-up – 12/1

    Hey there, it’s time for us here at DHGF to give our opinions on the new Virtual Console games of the week. Or rather, game. One game. One lonely game. Again. Sigh. Anyway, it’s Metal Slug 2 from the Neo Geo. Where’s Earthbound? Does anyone know? I think I’m gonna cry.
