Mitch’s WiiWare and Virtual Console Collection (thus far)

I still have a little more room on my Wii for games, but I am coming close to having to ditch some previously downloaded titles for some new ones.  Give me a couple more months, then I’ll join the chorus of people asking more disk space on the Wii (either via the SD card or by adding an external hard drive).

Here is my WiiWare and Virtual Console Collection so far…

  • Super Mario 64 - Childhood memory, spend many an hour on this game.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog - Never had a Sega, so thought I’d give it a shot.
  • Sim City - Seems to be slower than I remembered.
  • Contra III: The Alien Wars - Awesome fun, but really hard without a friend.
  • Super Castlevania IV - One of the best Castlevania games to this day.
  • Super Mario Bros. - Who doesn’t have this one downloaded?
  • Internet Browser - Handy to check Gmail and Google Reader on.
  • Mario Kart 64 - Fun, might might not make the cut if I need the room.
  • Kid Icarus - Another (never played it the first time) game but happy I have it now.
  • Everybody Votes Channel - Removed it since I only checked it out once or twice.
  • Splatterhouse - Gory fun, but still lacks something…
  • Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream - Fun boxing fun, where did Mike Tyson go?
  • Castlevania - Maybe it’s just me, but this is really hard!
  • Super Metroid - Could play this one forever, over and over again.
  • Super Mario Bros. 3 - Best multi-player Mario game to date.
  • Check Mii Out Channel - Removed it too, due to never using it for anything.
  • River City Ransom - Reminds me of a bad 80’s movie in a good way.
  • Defend your Castle - Well worth the $5 spent on it, and highly addictive.
  • Dr. Mario Online Rx - I needed a puzzle game, and Dr. Mario delivers flawlessly.

Anything else I should check out?

River City Ransom is a Blast

rcrbox Looking for a new virtual console game to play on the Wii, I downloaded and tried out River City Ransom.  After hearing all over the Web that this game was an awesome old school NES release, I fell for the hype and gave it a shot.  I have to say I am now joining the fan boys in saying that this game is a lot of fun.  Never played it before yesterday (I missed most of the first generation of Nintendo) but I was happy my five dollars was well spent.

Pretty much it is a game like Final Fight, but with RPG elements built into it.  So you can buy items and power ups to make yourself stronger - but the game is all based around a side scrolling punch, kick and throw way of thinking.

If your needing help, found this large map (looks as if it was scanned in from an old magazine article).  Final thoughts are that the whole thing reminds me of a bad 80’s movie - but in a good way.
