It's Monday morning, and if you're anything like the good people over at Gamervision HQ, all you can talk about was how awesome Iron Man was. Or perhaps you've started celebrating Cinco de Mayo first thing this morning and are already halfway to Margaritaville. Either way, let's not forget that it's also Virtual Console release day!
Wait, what are the games being released today? Pokemon Puzzle League for the N64 and Renegade for the NES? Never mind, you can forget. Let me know when Earthbound gets here.
Pokemon Puzzle League
Nintendo 64
1-2 Players
1000 Points
Get ready for a new kind of Pokémon battle where the power and speed of your brain are just as important as the strength of your Pokémon. Join Ash, Brock, Misty and many more characters from the Pokémon animated series as they gather in Puzzle Village to compete for the title of Pokémon Puzzle Master. Just match three or more blocks of the same color in any direction. Sounds simple, right? But the actual game play is surprisingly addictive and deep (chains and combos anyone?), especially when you’re facing off against a human opponent. Choose from six different modes offering a wide range of action, from story or puzzle modes to continuous play or timed play. If that’s not enough, take on the challenge in 3-D and get ready for more blocks than ever before. Featuring animated cut scenes combined with bright, fun graphics, there’s enough to satisfy any fan of Pokémon or puzzle games.
Renegade
NES
1-2 Players
500 Points
Renegade follows the story of a vigilante who fights his way through countless gangs in order to bring peace back to his city. Battle your way through subways, parks, alleyways and parking lots. For added fun, there’s a wild motorcycle ride to challenge you. Use your arsenal of kicks, punches (including the infamous sit-on punch) and jump kicks, as well as a variety of throws to knock your opponents into submission. Along the way, pick up items like a hamburger that restores your life, a heart that increases your lives by one, a power-up to increase your attack strength, and a speed item that gives you a speed burst while on your motorcycle. You’ll need all the help you can get to take out your aggression on street punks, thugs, outlaw bikers, killer kung-fu females and an array of bosses standing in your way. Take the law into your own hands to defeat countless scumbags and take your city back like the renegade you are.

I remember Renegade as a great game. But... I think it's probably best left in the past.
Renegade, damn I haven't played that game in years.....
I remember Pokemon Puzzle League being decent, but not decent enough to spend $10 on the week after GTA and Mario Kart. Damn, I haven't even opened Persona 3 FES yet!
To be fair, and pokemon aside, Pokemon Puzzle League is still a pretty good game. I might actually get that one.
But ya, Earthbound all the way for me too.
Wonder when's Bionic Commando Rearmed's hitting the XBLA too :/ it's supposed to be May, but on 14th it's assault heroes 2.
