Harvey Birdman looks like a fun rental. As for the Virtual Console, I bought a Wii Points card today to get StarTropics and Bubble Bobble (or as the Japanese call it, "Bubbaru Bobbaru").

| Midway through the game, the player becomes stuck on an island, and the only way to continue on is by entering a three digit code into the Sub-C's computer. However, in order to access the code, the player was required to lightly wetten a specific page in the game's instruction manual, revealing it. Naturally, if the instruction manual had been lost, damaged or otherwise rendered unusable, then the only way to continue was through frustrating experimentation until the proper code was input: 747. |

Presumably, they expect you to Google it.

We'll see. That was added by an anonymous user (whose IP address corresponds with a Texas ISP) who has never edited anything on wikipedia before, and gave no source. Could be true, but couild very well be false. | JALman

Yie Ar Kung Fu is awful but might still be worth 500 points.
DS releases coming as soon as I remember to check the list - the site hid the list "behind the break!" which I can't access since my RSS feed isn't blocked, but the actual site (which is behind the break) IS blocked. Boo. Does that make sense? It doesn't matter. As for the games, here's a hint - there's nothing worthwhile.
