Just when I was about to write about the dearth of quality Virtual Console releases lately, Nintendo goes and releases Link to the Past, thus putting a definite end to the trend. It feels good to play the game on my TV again after foolishly selling it so many years ago. To further up the ante, Nintendo has said that Mario Kart 64 will be available next Monday. I probably won't be downloading it since I'm content with my N64 copy, but a part of me wonders how it will it play with the smoother GameCube/classic controller analog stick in lieu of the clunky N64 stick.

I'm also very intrigued about Hotel Dusk: Room 215, which will be available soon on DS. As one of the seemingly few who enjoyed Trace Memory (or Another Code, depending on which side of the pond you're on), the fact that even people who didn't dig Trace Memory are lauding Hotel Dusk has put the game on my watch list.
