When I had first heard that Japan was going to be getting Super Mario RPG sometime in the next month or so, I was, to say the least, hopeful. I’ve heard so many good things about it and still have yet to lay my pale, little hands on it. Alas, instead this week we were endowed with but a single Virtual Console title and a pair of WiiWare titles; none of which had the name “Mario” anywhere in their names. Hit the jump to find out what we got instead!

It’s about damn time, too. Personally, I’m looking forward to LostWinds and FFCC: My Life as a King. For your convenience, I’ve thrown in YouTube links if any existed at the time of this posting. Hopefully gameplay videos will be up some time later today though.

Wow, we actually have a half-decent release for once. First on the list is Phantasy Star III for the Genesis, which I’ve heard is actually something of a let-down. According to the criticism section on Wikipedia, it’s supposed to be the red-headed stepchild of the 4 main Phantasy Star games. At 800 Wii Points, I’m sure there’s something out there that will satisfy your RPG needs better than this (like, y’know, the other Phantasy Star game that’s on VC). Luckily, the sublime River City Ransom, originally for the NES, manages to even things out nicely. For those of you that haven’t played it (and shame on you if you haven’t!) River City Ransom is a side scrolling beat-’em-up in the same vein as Streets of Rage or most of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. It’s only 500 Points, so I’d highly recommend downloading this one, especially if you and a friend have an afternoon with nothing to do.Remember, these titles won’t be available for download until 9AM Pacific time tomorrow!

Cruis’n USA (Nintendo 64, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points) is literally the greatest racing game ever made. I have absolutely no idea how this game became one of my favorite racers of all time since it really isn’t that great, but it is. Maybe it’s because I only owned an N64 so the variety wasn’t that great to begin with, and I played this game non-stop over and over. Now that it is out on the VC will I be downloading it? No. I think the fond memories I have of the game need to stay that way as I’m 100 percent positive that playing it now would only ruin them. Alas, time is a harsh mistress and I do not think that Cruis’n USA has aged well at all. Oh, for the days when race tracks weren’t made of real city streets and national monuments and landmarks were all closely grouped together on fictional race courses.

*wipes a single tear from eye while looking wistfully out the window*

Sigh. Well the other game is Wonder Boy (Sega Master System, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone—Comic Mischief, 500 Wii Points) which is just Adventure Island on the Master System. Legal stuff happened. Same game made twice. What’s the point. I’m too depressed to go on.

Download these games at 9 a.m. Pacific time. More after the jump if you can bring yourself to read.
