As the Virtual Console hits it's 3rd birthday one of the biggest titles has been released for the online service. Super Mario Kart which was originally well over 15 years ago is now avaliable for download at 800 Wii points. For those who want to relive the past of the SNES glory days, you can't do better than this title, Super Mario Kart was the original kart racer and literally created the sub-genre of racing games.
With the release of NCAA Basketball 2010, EA Sports shows us one thing; they always stick to a formula, even if that formula might not be the best one. Last year, 2K Sports stopped releasing their version of a college basketball game, leaving EA Sports uncontested in the field. Now, while this also happened in football and Madden 2010 was nothing short of phenomenal, I can't exactly say the same for NCAA Basketball 2010. Don't get me wrong, some improvements were made to the game compared to last year's, but not nearly enough for me to classify it as an elite sports title.
Last year the unlikely duo of Mario and Sonic teamed up for the first time in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. The game was a fairly decent attempt at creating an Olympics game set in the cutesy worlds of Mario and Sonic. Although most of the games were simple and straight forward they still made a solid collection of mini-games. Now Mario and Sonic are back in the Olympic Winter Games.
While we need to still wait a couple of months before the US rendition of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is released, and believe us we're still surprised that it is making a US debut at all. Today it was announced by IGN that the final two members in the roster is none other then Mega Man's Zero from the Mega Man X series and Joe from old 1972 anime series Gatchaman.
