Another Monday, another ho-hum assortment of releases for the Virtual Console. Perhaps Nintendo figures it's New Year's Eve and you have better things to do than download old games. Quick aside: I wonder how many parties this evening will feature Rock Band?

Bubble Bobble for the NES ($5) is always a fun choice, of course, but I must admit complete ignorance when it comes to Top Hunter for the NeoGeo ($9). It seems to be an arcade-style side scroller, but I can't vouch for any awesomeness it may have or lack. If you're familiar with it, please feel free to educate me.

Light Crusader ($8) for the Genesis is an action RPG from Treasure, who are known more for their insanely difficult shooters than their character development and storylines. That alone makes me curious enough to play this one.
