Japan secretly hates us when it comes to the Virtual Console.

Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
Next week's update will have these two MSX titles:

* Gofer no Yabou Episode II (Not to be confused with Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou, this is a totally different Gradius game which so far hasn't been released on any other system.)
* Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (The second game in the series. Unlike the first, it was not released in Europe, although it was translated a few years ago and included in a rerelease of Metal Gear Solid 3, as well as being released for mobile phones.)

April's games are as follows:

Super Famicom:

* Darius Twin (A rather enjoyable shoot 'em up, and one of the few games in the series that was released outside Japan. Will we see it, we wonder?)
* Pilotwings (The SNES flight game. Already released elsewhere last year!)

Neo Geo:

* Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory (The last of the original Fatal Fury games, it adds a few more new characters and stages.)
* Waku Waku 7 (Another wacky fighting game, parodying various games in the genre by other developers. It is quite popular in the west, but we only got the arcade version, so if you want to see it, hope for an import release!)

Virtual Console Arcade:

* Mr. Do! (A rather strange arcade game, in which you play as a clown, trying to dig around a screen full of soil in order to collect all the fruit. It could very well be released elsewhere, but publisher Hamster doesn't seem interested in releasing any of their arcade games in the west yet!)

^ Never will you see lovely games released at ONE time in ONE day on our VC.
 
You can still play the Japanese VC games on your Wii if you know how. I know I personally have Dracula X: Rondo of Blood playing on my Wii, as well as the last batch of Japanese Neo-Geo games to be released for the VC. I look forward to Waku Waku 7 though, one of my all time favorite NG games!

It hasn't really been that long has it? I'm doing fine, just got back into gaming recently after my stepson and I went in a retro game kick. Now have amassed a rather sizable collection of Wii games as well. Wii sure is great for retro gaming, in my opinion.
 
Yeah... Why don't we have more Japanese games on the system?!? They have a few on the US wii as it is.

Metal Gear Solid came out for the Virtual Console in Japan though?! That's pretty cool. We need more of these games in the US. Come on now!

BV :hat
 
So what is the exact release date on these again? I'm really wanting Waku Waku 7 and FF3 ASAP! I just got Ironclad running on my Wii a few hours ago, it amazes me how its such a perfect port, my stepson and I had a blast playing it.
