From what I can tell, Nintendo's release schedule for the virtual console is rather odd and it doesn't seem to have much of a pattern to it at all. Then again I also think that Nintendo saves their prized games for dry spells in the Wii's actual release schedule. <strong>@Josh Beal</strong> Check out Nintendo's page about the <a href="http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/channelsShop.jsp" rel="nofollow">Wii Shop Channel</a> or read up on it on Wikipedia's entry for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_Channel" rel="nofollow">Wii Shop Channel</a>. Both of those sites should help you understand how to purchase and use virtual console games. @Josh

Check out Nintendo’s page about the Wii Shop Channel or read up on it on Wikipedia’s entry for the Wii Shop Channel. Both of those sites should help you understand how to purchase and use virtual console games.

Why the hell are there more games for the system that was in direct competition with their OWN system, the SNES? People talk about getting Game Boy games on here and stuff... I'd actually like to see LESS systems on Virtual Console. If they're going to stick to this 1-2 games a week format they've adopted, I'd rather they not keep throwing in some obscure TG-16 game rather than one of their beloved SNES classics. Last I checked, the SNES outsold the Genesis, TG-16, and NEO-Geo by a ton -- their games are more recognizable, and some (like me and a LOT of others who believe the SNES was the best console of all-time) would say they're a whole lot better. So what gives, Nintendo? Why not focus on releasing your OWN titles for a change? The third-party system games outnumber the Nintendo games!

Released so far: Monster Lair Riot Zone Super Air Zonk The Dynastic Hero Right now I have them all listed under the TurboGrafx-16 category with (CD-ROM) appended to the end of the name, but I'll soon be creating a category specifically for the CD based TG-16 games. @Juggernautxug Which Sega CD games have been released? I don't remember any being released yet.. but maybe I'm wrong. @Daniel

Actually, they already have released a few TG-16 CD-ROM games.

Released so far:

Monster Lair
Riot Zone
Super Air Zonk
The Dynastic Hero

Right now I have them all listed under the TurboGrafx-16 category with (CD-ROM) appended to the end of the name, but I’ll soon be creating a category specifically for the CD based TG-16 games.

@Juggernautxug

Which Sega CD games have been released? I don’t remember any being released yet.. but maybe I’m wrong.
