Downloaded Bit.Trip Beat immediately on faith, but WiiWare so far is a 5/8 "hit" ratio with me--and keep in mind that I'm nice enough to consider Family Table Tennis worthwhile even though I only played it for about half an hour and don't particularly care to play it again. We'll see how this one turns out.

It's been what, a year now?
Only have to go backward to as far as October 2008 backwards to find faster releases.
People need to accept the fact that it's going to be one game a week from here on in. Yes, I'm sure there will be exceptions like the C64 launch. But for the most part, I think this thread will benefit if the following points are just assumed:
1) Nintendo will release one VC game per week
2) We are all grumpy about it
I assume it and I'm still here.
And I see no reason to prioritize what benefits
this thread over what benefits
this service. If you'd like to give up all hope of ever having a swifter release schedule, then go ahead, but I'll continue believing that Nintendo is capable of doing better and should. It probably annoys serious VC fans a lot more to see the releases each week than it annoys anyone in here to have to skip past a couple more posts in the morning.
Edit: Forgot about this post:

OK, just checked Hudson's website and they still have Bomberman '94 & Detana Twinbee listed for March. Which means that one of the following three scenarios occur:
1.) Both games are released on either March 23rd or March 30th (15% chance)
2.) One title is released March 23rd while the other hits March 30th (25% chance)
3.) One or both titles are inexplicably delayed into April or beyond (60% chance)
The casino is accepting wagers starting now!
Yeah, I thought about this as soon as I saw today's release. And I'm in for 3.
That said, even I wouldn't see 1 as being out of the question--they're both imports and I don't think we've yet had a week of only one import game. Sin and Punishment + SMB: Lost Levels, or Gley Lancer + Super Fantasy Zone, or Star Parodier + Break In, or DoReMi Fantas"y" Haven't You Downloaded This Yet Go Get It Right Now + Puyo Puyo 2... They come in pairs.
Edit: Checked and Ninja JaJaMaru-kun is the lone instance of only having one import. (It did come with another non-import game, though.) Otherwise it's all been the pairs I mentioned along with Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa/Dig Dug, Final Soldier/Cho Aniki, and Gradius II/Digital Champ.
