Kokuga and more Sonic than you can shake a stick at!
More Game Gear love this week, and just a tiny sliver for the Wii U Virtual Console. In contrast Japan got Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI. So, just go to California and glare off the coast at them. They'll get the message. In other news, Kokuga is hitting the 3DS, so all you shmup fans out there should be satisfied, while the rest of us are patiently waiting for Chronicles of Mystara.

Aw yeah, time to do some extreme tricks and stuff on a motorbike! I don't actually know anything about motocross, but if you prefer two-wheeled vehicles and track editors then this might be the game for you. We'll have our review up very soon!
The next game from Hiroshi Iuchi (Ikaruga) is here! Gear up with nine weapons across 12 missions in a shiny new tank! With a non-linear mission structure and Download Play, you'll be busy for quite some time. Expect our review soon!
As an undercover spy, it's important to remember that the most important part of your job is to destroy as much property as possible. I mean, that's what Crash City Mayhem has taught me anyway. You'll have plenty of opportunity to test that across 36 missions and 15 vehicles.
Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove Mini - $3.99
More rhythm games? Yes, please! Shaking things up Halloween style, Gabrielle and her vampire, mummy, and werewolf friends are ready to dance the night away across four stages.
3DS Virtual Console
Nintendo keeps bringing the heat with more Sonic on Game Gear! Lay the smackdown on Dr. Robotnik in this Game Gear port of the second Sonic game. Spin and jump through six bosses to save your lil' buddy Tails and the island animals.
You just can't keep crystals safe anymore, you know? What's the world coming to when a man can't just keep four powerful elemental crystals hidden in his kingdom without evil forces coming and stealing them? You know Steve? Just last week, his crystals: gone. Seriously. Guess we better find some adventurers...
If you have a hankering for even more Sonic then fear not, friend, the Virtual Console is here for you. Somehow Sonic has been tricked into wearing "magical" shoes that keep him from running full speed unless you can continue to grab Chaos Emeralds. Find your way through Dr. Robotnik's maze and grab those Chaos Emeralds!
I can tell you that Spelunker is by far my favorite game that features keys, bombs, jewels, and the avenging of dead spirits. Seriously, no one has ever done those exact things, in that exact order, better. Break out that flashlight, I'm going to be down here for a while.
Wii U Virtual Console Games
Watch out kids, this one's rated E for "simulated gambling." This ain't your grandpappy's casino! Well… maybe it is. Either way, you can play black jack, slots, poker, craps, and roulette on your Wii U. What more do you want? Fine, then you can also interact with other patrons around the casino. Happy now?
