Yes, that’s right, Nintendo has just announced the latest batch of Virtual Console titles for January. The unfortunate bit of this news is that the games are currently only being made available in Japan.
Of course, Nintendo will be sure to bring some of the treasures in the latest Japanese line-up to Europe and America. When we say, ‘of course’, we mean ‘or else’.
SPOnG has put a call in to Nintendo UK to get a full update of exactly what Virtual Console goodness is in store for us in the near future – so we’ll bring you a full update as soon as we have it.
