Nintendo springs Japanese surprise for NA Virtual Console

shuandrew | March 10, 2008 | News | Wii 
This week's North American Virtual Console releases are titles that were only ever originally released in the Land of the Rising Sun (Japan). They are: DoReMi Fantasy: DokiDoki Adventure (Super Nintendo, 1 Player, 800 Wii Points) and Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu (SEGA Genesis, 1-2 Players, 800 Wii Points)
This week’s North American Virtual Console releases see Nintendo going all Japanese on us, with a pair of games (one an action-adventure title and the other a puzzler) that were never released outside of Japan on their respective systems - until now.

    We've actually had a couple Puyo games in the US: Kirby's Avalanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, but that DokiDoki game looks pretty good, I might check it out. Import VC games are translated, right? I would assume that's why they cost more.

    Yea the only one i can think of out of the top of my head for the Virtual console is Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.
