In an unexpected (to say the least) twist, SEGA is bringing back Virtual Console Arcade this week with a truly classic racer. Elsewhere there's brand new DSiWare and a Game Boy Color game on 3DS too. Here's what's up this week.
Wii Virtual Console
Super Hang-On (Virtual Console Arcade, SEGA, 900pts) — The legendary racer reaches VC Arcade in Europe over 18 months after it hit Japan, but better late than never, eh? We'll have a full review soon.
3DS Virtual Console
Game & Watch Gallery 2 (Game Boy Color, Nintendo, £3.60/€4) — Another set of LCD games from the black and white era, we'll bring you a review of this compilation very soon.
DSiWare
Cat Frenzy (Teyon, 200pts) — The official description says "nothing makes a puzzle game better than cute and furry kittens." We'll see how true that is in — you guessed it — our upcoming review.
Anything for you this week, folks?

Game & Watch Gallery 2 is a must-buy for me :3
Hope G&W comes to the US as well D:
Wario or Kid Icarus would be nice too...
im waiting for wario land 2 & 3. nothing more.
Super Hang-On! I've been waiting for that game for ages! Definitely getting that this week
Hmmm nothing that interesting for me this week.
Nice Game & Watch!
Nothing for me again this week, but at least next week we'll have VVVVVV.
I wonder if the Australian eShop is going to get updated this time, as it didn't last week.
Ah yes the Game Boy's Game and Watch Gallery series. Needed no.2 and here it is
This site isn't to keen on rumors I see ... cough purple 3ds cough
Oh yes. I used to love playing Super Hang-On.
Cat Frenzy FTW
G&WG2 is the Color version. There's been a trailer on the Nintendo Channel for ages.
I'd like to say I enjoyed the bike building aspect of Super Hang-On, but Road Rash 2 & 3 had a much better upgrade system (with different bikes).
Oh how I wish I could play that game again - I guess I should buy one of the hybrid consoles and a copy of the game.
@Gavin_Rozee I'm just double-checking that with Nintendo, there's been some confusion apparently. Will update ASAP.
Game & Watch Gallery 2 for me!
Super Hang on is a "must own" in my book. Now please release Outrun for the VC
i preferred hang on over road rash, although road rash was a pretty good game. back at the time when EA were a good company. sigh.
but yes, nice to see hang on on the wii V.C.
The Virtual Console Arcade livesss~!!!
I'm hoping a North America release will follow as well. This was a fun motorcycle ride to try out. I have the versions on SEGA Genesis & Game Boy Advance.
What's the Virtual Console again?
Please, Cat Frenzy, stay in Europe.
Game & Watch Gallery 2 will be my first Game Boy Color game on the VC Day 1 purchase.
Why don't you have Zelda: Link's Awakening, Jese_1?
Yeah great news!
@Bass_X0 I'm a rare species that doesn't enjoy the Zelda games
Not in Europe but I won't be getting G&W 2 simply because I already have 3 of the 4 games in it on DSiware.
I'd buy G&W 4 in a heartbeat though.
<seizure>
game and watch 2? nice.
Still waiting on the G&W collection that has the Zelda game....
well at least virtual console arcade is around, maybe it will revive...maybe
I've been waiting for Super Hang On forever. INSTANT BUY from me. WOW! Cool!
@Hyperstar96 Its been longer since the last Wii Virtual Console Arcade game.
A Virtual console game? For the GBC? Thank you Nintendo.
Also - it's a GBC colour game for the price of a GB one!
I'll get G&WG2 at some point, that looks like a pretty good game.
Incase nobody has remembered, the day these games are available is the Gamecube's 10 year anniversary in Europe!
Nothing for me at all this week... come on Nintendo, bring out some 3DSWare and some more VC games! D:
im actually surprised the virtual console arcade made an appearance, hey sega, can we have:
please???
wil this game run at 60hz and be full screen?
Yes SNK - it's an arcade game.
Game and Watch Gallery 2. Yes please.
Game & Watch Gallery 2 comes to Europe's 3DS VC huh. Wish we were that lucky over here in the US. As for Super Hang-On , I think I played that in the arcade once a long time back when I was a kid. Either it was this game or it might have been Hang-On. All in all, it's a good game to me.
I was more into Outrun then Super Hang-On but any new VC Arcade release is huge a positive
Game & Watch Gallery 2 is a fun follow-up to the original Game & Watch Gallery
I loved G&WG2!!
Bring on the 3rd one too please!!!
for the americans,this week for the 3ds we get bird mania 3d and amoebattle
@dark-insanity Well that's... not that impressive...
Dang it, I did it again....
you can have your vvvvvvvvwhatevvvvvver.... I'd rather get all the VC/eshop classics that Nintendo seems to think the NoA doesn't want...
Seriously bird mania and amoebattle??? Sigh
I ain't. I'm still friggin' waiting for Wario Land, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, and Wario Land 2. C'mon Nintendo, doesn't North America matter anymore?
OMG super hang on FY
Meh.... Hang On is just not the same without the giant plastic motor bike controller.
would like the nes TMNT on 3d classic, people moan its to hard but i finished it when i was ten (yes when it first came out i am that old , i was there when the nes ruled the world!!!!!!!!!!!!
