Bit quiet on Virtual Console

By Tom Bramwell Published 16 November, 2007

Double Dribble all that's up.

Not much going on in the land of Virtual Console this week, with only the Nintendo Entertainment System's 1989 basketballer Double Dribble to download.

Offering "realistic five-on-five action" (steady) on a horizontally scrolling court, it doesn't sound like the most amazing example of the noble sport of being tall and wiggling ever committed to read-only memory, but it is only 500 Wii Points. Er.

Anyway, if you want to get a better idea of its quality, try peering at some helpful screenshots provided by Nintendo, or hang around and our beloved scribe Dan Whitehead will no doubt knock up one of his Virtual Console Roundups for us. Should be a belter!

    Meh.

    But then again, Super Mario Galaxy is out, so I imagine they realised it wasn't really worth putting too much out today anyway.

    Despite the sarcasm, I kinda liked the game back then - but then I only played it on the Amiga. Graphics were a couple of notches more advanced than this.

    Are the Megadrive/SNES games on Virtual Console still PAL ports locked at 50Hz with borders at the top and bottom of the screen?

    Nintendo said on their official website there was another game set to be released today however it wasn't able to work so they've held it back but we know how poor the NOE team are at dealing with games (Mario Party and Super Paper Mario) so we shouldn't be suprised should we? The most annoying thing is we don't know what the game is and when it's set to be releaed however with us being without a SNES game for a month now I would expect it to be one on that system.
