While last Monday was a good day for WiiWare releases, this week, not so much. Unless you're a die-hard virtual pool fanatic, you're gonna want to just ignore Midnight Pool--especially since a pool game was just released on the Virtual Console last week. Come on, Nintendo, you're not even trying anymore! How about next week, you have a WiiWare game called "Give Sarah Money", and everyone just gives me eight bucks. Yeah, I like the sound of that.

At least the Virtual Console is faring a little better, as we're finally getting the first Mega Man game that was promised weeks ago. Five bucks is a good price for a classic, and even though it's been well over a decade since I've played a Mega Man game, I may have to dig this one out.

Join the blue bomber in his first-ever adventure as he battles the evil Dr. Wily and his robotic henchmen to restore peace to a troubled world. Mega Man is a super-robot created by the genius scientist Dr. Light. When Dr. Wily goes rogue with an army of six of his own devious robot masters, it’s up to Mega Man to put a stop to his nefarious plot by traversing a series of stages rife with enemies, traps and perilous platform challenges. At the end of each stage, conquer one of the robot masters and claim his weapon as your own, using it to your advantage in subsequent fights.

This is a golf game that was first released in 1996.

The game features two modes of play. The first is Stroke Play, in which the player attempts to get the best score by playing all 18 holes. The second is Match Play, in which two players compete to see who can win more of the 18 holes. Grab a friend and get ready to hit the fairway.
