While I would argue that this shouldn't be some special occasion and we should be getting this kind of support EVERY week, I'll take what I can get. Support has been more regular lately and there are good games here. Or maybe that they took the bar so low recently that anything seems good to me.

WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOO

Finally. It's been too damn long.

Also, we might be the first region to get Kirby's Pinball Land. And Sword of Hope II is apparently a GB RPG. Came out on Japanese eShop a few weeks back.

Kind of unfortunate that only two of the games are worth playing, but forgivable since those two games are pretty awesome.

Why not get the 3D Classics version of Kid Icarus?  It's improved all around according to most reviews.  I guess some people might have nostalgia for the original version, but I'd rather pay a little extra to have the "better" version.

Of Myths and Monsters is a different game from the NES game.

I'm so weak for GB VC games. I'll get, like, all of these. I don't know how I feel about that.

Indeed it is. Ignore my previous statement. I wasn't stopping to think, and just assumed that because the 3D Classics game was portable it was linked to Myths and Monsters instead of the NES original.
