But shiny graphics, shaders and foto-realistic textures are something we all enjoy, even if they can't always beat the 8-bit nostalgi... |

Nintendo has finally decided to pull the plug on their support for the oldie consoles, like the Famicom, Super Famicom, Nintendo 64, Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket.

Given that Capcom has a major media event due to take place this week, it's not surprising that they made this surprising announcement.

Not a very exciting Virtual Console week, I can tell you that right now, but at least one title (out of the three newly added) is worth looking in. Yes, the SEGA Genesis original, Dynamite Headdy. Although it is the most expensive of the lot (800 Wii Pts), it is by far the best from this week's update. So withou... |
