I’m beginning to look forward to Mondays not because I love my job at the office, but because there might be some gems released for the Wii’s Virtual Console. While releases in the past few weeks hasn’t exactly been stellar to say the least, this week’s offerings will definitely perk you up with No More Heros. In addition to that, I have taken to gazing at my crystal ball, and have seen the gaming goodness available to help us through the current gaming drought. Retro titles FTW! Not only do these downloads let you while away those hours, they also lack the physical packaging that will probably end up as junk a short while later.

Adventures of Lolo 2 (NES, 500 points/$5)
Looks like Lala can’t stopped being kidnapped, and this puzzler will definitely appeal to those who have a brainier side that is sick of shooting aliens and saving the world from a first person perspective. It won’t tickle the fancy of most folks, I suspect, with all the superior puzzles games that abound these days, but for those who are looking for more Adventures of Lolo, this fits in the niche rather nicely.

Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (Super NES, 800 points/$8)
Now who can forget this all brawling action title! You get four new characters - they aren’t really new per se, but are actually playable boss characters that added more dimension to what was the quarter guzzling game of the early 90s. This was pretty much the mother of all fighting games back them, but hardcore Street Fighter fans will probably argue till the cows come home as to which version is the best. Cheaper than a decent sandwich at Vegas, I’m all for this title. It’s knuckle crunching time!
