The reason Nintendo uproots piles of dog crap like this all the time, is because they're lazy. The argument that they don't have enough games to release from third parties is far from good enough, when the still have a huge stack of first party games (staring at Majora's Mask) to release. They also have Mother and Earthbound to release, Kirby's Fun Pak (Super Star for you Americans), and I think Dreamland 3. Having the right to distribute II, III and IV, they should have the right to plain ol' Phantasy Star too, amirite? And looking at that loooooong list of games under "Coming Soon" this site has, I'd imagine Ninty aren't short on games they have to release, it's just whether they can be bothered to upload them and write a short feature about them.
Maybe Nintendo should spend their time solving this trouble, rather than blocking homebrew, which actually has it's uses. Maybe a popular storage solution could be introduced, or they could work on their new games more, perhaps release more.
The only thing here that remotely interests me is the wireless Nunchuck, but I'd rather have one made by Nintendo to be perfectly honest. Still, I might get one if they're not too bulky.
I'm assuming they're holding all the good stuff (ie. N64 games, examples should be obvious) back on everyone, and giving the Japanese, as well as (hopefully) everyone else, a Christmas Present.
@Manicfatty: I get your point, it is mostly space-wasting crap, I only have 2 WiiWare games (Ranch and Megaman), as opposed to 6 VC games, and actually waiting for some games to be put on the system.
As far as I'm concerned, Mondays should have WiiWare updates and Fridays have VC updates. As you said earlier, the Nintendo Channel should be more along the lines of a "What do you want uploaded" poll, than a Nintendo Youtube and a servey about games you've played. Right now, all it is to me is a place for a couple of DS demos.
You guys in America, you get two WiiWare games a week, and you complain about the lack of VC games. You don't seem to realise that even if it's a one game week over there, you still get more than one game. If we get a one game week on this side of the ocean, it's only one game, 'cause NOE separates WW and VC weeks.
I understand that most people here prefer retro games to the stuff (ie, crap), that Nintendo uploads on WiiWare, but aren't I right in thinking that it gives you another game to play, if you don't like the first?
My other point is that they're probably saving the best games for December and the Christmas season, so people can send gifts, etc. They're probably just cleaning out some kind of pile of games right now. Most likely they have decent games like Majora's Mask, Earthbound, etc. ready to upload, they're just lagging everything out to keep people waiting, and half-excited.

Re: USA VC Update: Enduro Racer
@64. Bendover83:
Yes, but it's probably (ie, most certainly) the worst N64 game released.

Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - December 2008
@41. Bass X0:
Doesn't stop ESRB, or anyone else, from rating games though, they could be in the process of rating some as we speak.
I'm hopeful, but also doubtful. D=

Then why don't they use an import on Panel de Pon? It's the same game!
