This week on VC: Donkey Kong 2 - Mario & Yoshi

This week, the slightly slimline offerings on the Virtual Console (VC) stand at two; Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES 1995) for 800 Wii points and Mario & Yoshi (NES 1992) for 500, adding an adventure platformer and a puzzle title to the already delightfully diverse selection of retro titles available for Wii gamers.

We'd like to see a few more, but apparently patience is a virtue ...

As for these two, are they worth your hard earned 'Nindollars'? It's a case of yes for some and no for others this week; both titles are essentially decent games, though not the best offerings from their genre. If you enjoy the Donkey Kong platformers, then playing this one through again should please you. Puzzle games really are either something you know that's your bag or it isn't - so it's simply a case of each to his own.

Personally? We're just playing Wonderboy in Monster World through as much as we can get away with!
