Posted on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008, at 12:32 AM

Well I said I could do better than last time, so here’s my attempt. Without further ado:

I’m a little worried about my bank account this spring, because there are a bunch of killer-looking Wii games slated for release, and on top of that, I still haven’t picked up Zack & Wiki.

Virtual Console Retroviews
