Yet more Mario

Super Mario World is lovely, it really it is, but is there anyone who can spell Nintendo who doesn't already own a copy? But if you don't own the SNES or GBA versions then the launch of the game on the Wii's Virtual Console is worth investigating, despite the problems with the system. Less interesting is the other new VC game, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. The black sheep of the Zelda "franchise", the Adventure of Link was a side scrolling travesty solely for completists only. Even the press release struggles to get excited, with the fact that the game, "featured a brand new adventure", seen as the big selling point. Anyway, as much as I like the Wii I really can't be bothered with the Virtual Console at the moment - SMW may be worth a punt though - with Xbox Live Arcade a far more appealing place to spend your nostalgia dollar.
