@Daniel

I’ve never actually played the game before, so I can’t really pass any judgement on it. I’d love to be able to write actual reviews for games but I just don’t have the money to buy every game that gets released. To tell the truth I’m lucky I have a web host that isn’t too expensive and appears to hold up to traffic quite well.

You do make a pretty good point, I almost bet they are having some licensing issues with the bulk of third party games.

they might also have copyright issues, I mean they are free to release titles like Zelda, Mario and Metroid all they want but titles like say Peter Pan or Bubble Bobble might need some paper work sorted out since they are not Nintendo owned titles. Plus, the publishers might think they can re-release it on like DS or PSP and make more money off it.

I haven’t played Mighty Bomb Jack in years, I remembered it being a better game than what all of the current reviews are indicating. >

Yeah the games haven’t been too great lately, with the exception of Castlevania and Punch-Out a while back. I’m sure there is probably a reason for Nintendo’s release schedule, maybe they don’t want to saturate the Virtual Console with all the great games? If they did that then I’d guess all those other odd off the wall games would never have a chance of making any money for them.

So… why does Nintendo keep releasing crappy games (in my opinion…)? The past 3 weeks have been nothing but low-quality games. When are they going to start releasing the good games? Sheesh!
