Hudson's Virtual Console site reveals five upcoming games.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=13250

 VC-PCE.com, Hudson's official Virtual Console website, has listed five upcoming games to be released in April.  The first, Dragon's Curse, is a platformer to be released on April 2nd in North and Latin America and should be available today, March 30, in Europe.  It will be followed by Bravoman, a quirky action game by Namco.      


Also coming is Bonk's Revenge, the sequel (and a great improvement) to Bonk's Adventure starring the TurboGrafx mascot.  Battle Lode Runner, previously only released in Japan, is the first non-American game to be released in North America. Finally, Shockman rounds up releases for the month.      


Bonk's Revenge and Battle Lode Runner are the only two games slated for an April European release.  An online manual for each game will be added to the VC-PCE.com website as their respective releases approach.

Obviously they're releasing them in order; but don't worry, it's been rated by the ESRB already.

I've heard it said that Dragon's Curse is paqrt of the Wonderboy series. Is the game (and the series it hails from) good?

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Yeah, Dragon's Curse is a port of the Master System's Wonderboy III The Dragon's Trap, which was EXTREMELY awesome. Man, it's sad that Nintendo has completely blocked Australian's from getting TG-16 games on the VC now. I'd get all the games listed in this update. Nintendo hates money made from Koala's.
