CheatCC says - I am astounded that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has lasted as long as it has. Normally, Olympic-themed video games are horrible flops that go nowhere, but the fusion of these two iconic videogame mascots has somehow made this modest minigame collection succeed. You know, I'm OK with that. Sonic needs the work.
Due to a public Holiday in various countries, Nintendo Download details have taken longer than normal to come through. It's mostly about the Wii U and 3DS this week, with retro and new delights to enjoy, while the Wii Virtual Console steps in with some Neo Geo action.
SuperPhillip Central writes, "The start of the workweek can only mean one thing-- Moonshine Monday! Wait. No. It's actually time for SPC's Favorite VGMs, your go-to source for... SuperPhillip Central's... favorite VGMs. Ahem. On this week's installment we've got music from Batman: Arkham City, Final Fantasy VIII, and Ys I & II Chronicles."
SuperPhillip Central writes, "Over the past several weeks we have looked into and analyzed many Wii games. This fourth week of the best the Wii has to offer (in this writer's opinion, of course) enters into several well known franchises and lesser known franchises. The Wii is an often mocked console, called kiddy, casual, or whatever insult-of-the-day is considered cool by a vocal minority of gamers. This list of fifty terrific Wii titles is meant to show the console's library as quite competent and worthwhile. No, you won't just be seeing Mario and Zelda games on this list. The library is much more exhaustive than that as this list of fifty has proven. We now roll on to part four of The 50 Best Nintendo Wii Games. Which games have you played and enjoyed?"
