We aren’t sure why Nintendo doesn’t just come out and tell us when games will be released for the [tag]Virtual Console[/tag], it’s probably to keep the interest in the system going. At least the secrecy lets us have fun speculating and predicting the upcoming releases. For those of you that are unfamiliar with what we do here, let us get you up to speed. Each week we pick 6 games that we think have the highest probability of showing up on the Wii’s Virtual Console. We will also will throw in a few wild card games, just for the fun of it. Some times the games that we pick are right on, and some times we are way off….but at the very least we give you guys an idea of what will be coming to the [tag]Virtual Console[/tag]….eventually. With the introduction of the SinisterRabbit forums, we would like to invite you to discuss our predictions and make your own. Let’s see who’s fortunetelling powers are the strongest!

Let’s take a look into the crystal ball

Devil’s Crush

Hudson has confirmed that Devil’s Crush will be released this week.

Super Turrican

Originally released for the Super NES, this game is a classic in the minds of many. Super Turrican has been rated by the ESRB and was mentioned by Nintendo Power as a game to be released in the near future. If Nintendo Power has is to be believed then we should be seeing this game either this week, or next.

Shining Force

Predicting games from SEGA can be a very dangerous thing to do. We were “supposed” to have been downloading Vectorman months ago and it never happened. Then, Shining in the Darkness was “announced” as coming soon. Shining Force has been rated by the ESRB, so we know it’s coming. Even though SEGA has hurt me before, I’m going to go ahead and make this one of my picks.

Donkey Kong Jr. Math

The game that you all have been waiting for! Yes Donkey Jr. + Math = Super Awesome! We know we are going to get this game eventually, so please lets just get this over with as soon as possible. ESRB rated, released in other regions, and reviewed by Nintendo Power…the awesomeness that is Donkey Kong Jr. Math will be coming to the Virtual Console very soon.

Mega Man

We really should have this game by now, shouldn’t we? Rated, and released in other regions, it seems that Nintendo is teasing us with the thought of finally being able to play as the Blue Bomber on the Wii. This could be the week, that is unless we get…..

Metroid

Last week I went out on a limb and predicted that we would see Metroid on the Virtual Console. That prediction was based solely on the fact that we had been hearing alot of Metroid talk coming from Nintendo at E3. My prediction was sort of right….PAL regions were given Metroid instead of us. The possibility of getting Metroid is stronger now, and I think that we will either be getting Mega Man or Metroid on the 23rd, but probably not both.

Wild Cards:

This week we have 4 wild card games, Vectorman – Shining In The Darkness – TMNT II – Zombies Ate My Neighbors

So, those are the games that we think have the best shot of showing up tomorrow. What do you guys think? Are we right, wrong, or just plain insane? Come on in the VC Predictions forum and let us know what you think!
