Correction: This is the Japan release list. Dammit. Thanks for the correction Saterium

December 2 is gonna be a big day for the NIntendo Wii Virtual Console! Based on the list I just grabbed from our buddies over at YouNewb.com, there are 37 titles on four platforms all releasing on Saturday.

Some titles definitely better than others, but I'm a little bit baffled here. The prices on some of these games seem waaaaay way way out of whack.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but can't you get your hands on the most recent edition (Sim City 4: Deluxe) for just $5 more?

And Look! you can actually get Sim City 3000 for LESS than the SNES version. Maybe there are some of you out there willing to pay $9 for what amounts to one of the first PC-to-console bastardizations, but I'd rather gouge out my eyes with a jagged tuna can lid.

Some notable games coming soon:
* Donkey Kong (Nintendo/Dec. 2): 500 points
* Mario Bros. (Nintendo/Dec. 12): 500 points
* Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo/Dec. 2): 500 points
* Super Mario World (Nintendo/Dec. 2): 800 points
* Fire Emblem: Monsho no Nazo (Nintendo/Dec. 26): 900 points
* Street Fighter II (Capcom/Dec. 2): 800 points
* Donkey Kong Country (Nintendo/Dec. 12): 800 points
* Toejam & Earl (SEGA/Dec. 2): 600 points
* Sonic the Hedgehog (SEGA/Dec. 2): 600 points

So, what do YOU think of pricing?   Frankly it turns me off faster than the thought of Edie's mom's garden (thats for you OSVG)   Seriously though, does anybody know what the hell "Mario's Super Picross" is and why it's worth 8 bucks?

This is a Japanese VC launch list. NA isn't getting a lot of these for awhile

Gunstar heroes is the best game, IMO. 1 N64 game is pathetic, especially cause I have it in 2 different forms already.

Some of these games are also already out in the US...
