This week's one for you, Cappa!

Bloody hell! They've only gone and unearthed the worst game that Nintendo have ever published.

The decisive Konami Krazy Racers is up for download this week. It's decisive in the sense that I think I'm only person living who doesn't like it. Seriously, it's just another mascot karter, and that's it.

On another note, Nintendo Life are reporting of an apparent Virtual Console leak in Japan, detailing all of the titles that are supposedly on the way soon:

Not much to say on that - you'd bank on most of them coming out soon anyway. Could just be educated guesswork, with a splashing of complete bollocks.

I still haven't properly played KKR, so will definitely be downloading that and giving it a stab.

But you can play as a Moai! What's not to love!? That aside, I'll skip the GBA-era kart racer, I think.

As for that leaked list, I'll take it with a salt mine until some of that's formally announced.

*gasps and points frantically*

What're you buying?

A great addition to any console, I'd download if I didn't already own it.

This may give us some hope as Mother 3 is coming the VC in Japan.

Anyone picking up the DS Zelda's, I know one ranked highly in the DS votes and I do own them both but yet to play either of them and at £15 for the two, I'm sort of tempted to get them on the U.

I personally hated Spirit Tracks but loved Phantom Hourglass although I know others feel the opposite, real opinion splitters them.

Found both mediocre Zelda games, but preferred ST. Seem to be in a minority on here in that, though.

Phantom Hourglass is my preferred one; whilst I loved the idea of Zelda being more involved, Spirit Tracks wasn't quite as good. The train stuff got boring (and I ruddy love trains, me).

Dunno how people can say that compared to the Boat of Myriad Redrawings.

Just my opinion, boss! I loved the sailing in Wind Waker and so was happy to do it going in.

At least there was somewhere to explore in PH, ST was just go from A to B and try not to get instantly killed...

I really didn't like the repeat-o-dungeon in PH, but the realisation you were going to die by Evil Train in ST was also bad. But Twilight Princess HD is a-comin', so I'm happy

This exactly, incredibly frustrating stuff.

I've just seen that Kirby Mass Attack and Kirby: Power Paintbrush are both out on the eShop, and part of a 'buy one get one half price' offer. Two quality games there. I'd say both are amongst my absolute favourites on DS.

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure just came out too, at the launch price of £13.49. You can get it for two quid at CEX, or just not get it at all, as it's a load of illogical arse.

I've heard great things about Z&W, especially from The Castle. Considering it. Considering Mass Effect Attack as well, less hard.

I quite liked Z&W and it'd be interesting to see if it still holds up today.

Kirby Mass Attack is a great little game. It's all stylus-driven, though, so be prepared to never look at the TV screen.

Never played Mass Attack but I can fully recommend Power Paintbrush, there's a reason it got a sequel after all these years.

Has anyone played Onimusha Tactics?

DoPo

I was only saying on Skype when we saw Geno costume that Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars should come to the VC and it has, I've never played as it didn't come to PAL regions and I've got no idea if it came to Wii or not as it was the Wii.

So is it worth getting for £5.49 and this is more likely to been played then the last game I asked about.

Super Mario RPG is very much of its time. It's got a very bizarre look and I found the translation strange in places and the gameplay is better in both Paper Mario and Superstar Saga. In fact, I have to say that I don't think it's worth getting, to be honest.

Meh, I enjoyed it, despite having played the later Mario RPGs first. Go into it expecting a SNES-era Final Fantasy with Mario trappings and you'll be fine.

Well I am enjoying a JRPG from 1997 at the moment and this came out in 1996.

I see from Googling that it did come to the Wii and it got great reviews, hmm it's only £5.49 not £40 like actual cart
