Nintendo’s Wii-kly Updates: Be Thankful for What You’ve Got

I’ll admit it: Pickings often seem rather slim when it comes to updates to the Wii Shop Channel. This week, a mere two titles people are unsure of trickled onto the service, just as in weeks prior.

But, it’s really not as bad as it seems, or at least, as bad as it could be. Take a look at Korea, for example. Siliconera did, and let me tell you, it ain’t pretty. The Korean Virtual Console needs updates like so many supermodels need sandwiches.

And WiiWare? They don’t even have it.

Behold their full lineup:

Famicom

Super Mario Brothers
Kirby’s Adventure
Donkey Kong
Antartic Adventure
River City Ransom
Super Mario Brothers 3
Bubble Bobble
Super Mario USA
Galaga
Xevious
Yoshi
Pac-Man
NES Open Tournament Golf
Adventure Island
Urban Champion
Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundokai
Mario Brothers
Adventures of Lolo
Nekketsu Koko Dodgeball Bu: Soccer Hen

Super Famicom

Contra III: The Alien Wars
Cybernator
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Gradius III
Donkey Kong Country
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past
F-Zero
Super R-Type
Panel de Pon
Donkey Kong Country II: Diddy Kong’s Quest
R-Type III: The Third Lightning

Nintendo 64

Mario Kart 64
Starfox 64
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
1080 Snowboarding — Siliconera

Look at that… they don’t even have Super Mario 64! And that was one of the first ones on the service here.

So just remember: There’s always someone else who has it worse.
