| 26345 | Virtual Console Thursdays | Week of 11/12/2015:<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wii U Virtual Console:</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div>Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX (GBA)</div><div>$7.99</div><img width="300" height="300" src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/3509/693791-contraalienwarsex_gba_na.jpg"><div><br></div><div>The newest Nintendo Direct may have been yesterday, but that sadly doesn't make this week's Virtual Console release any less of a weak one. Contra Advance is a remake of Contra 3: The Alien Wars for the SNES, though there actually did exist a Game Boy port that was released a few years after the SNES game. Even though the GBA version is better than the Game Boy port... it's still far inferior to the SNES version. For instance, you can only hold one weapon at a time, and the mega bombs were removed in the GBA port, despite being intact in the Game Boy version. Also, due to the Mode 7 graphics... the overhead stages were removed and replaced with two stages from Contra Hard Corps. Unfortunately, it doesn't make the experience any better as the slide move makes it a whole lot harder. Yeah, it's a really crappy port. On top of that too, the SNES original is already on the Wii U Virtual Console, so that makes this release redundant.<br><br>However, there is some good Virtual Console news that came in the wake of the recent Nintendo Direct. First off, Japan announced that they're going to be getting Mother 3 on the Wii U Virtual Console in December to coincide with the Lucas Amiibo. Hopefully, this means that the game will also come to the states. Also, this February, we'll be getting the original Pokemon games on the 3DS Virtual Console. Yeah, that's the first piece of news we've heard at all about the 3DS Virtual Console... and the release date is in February... a year after the last 3DS Virtual Console games (Donkey Kong Land) were released. Maybe soon, we'll finally see an end to this drought of releases we've been seeing on the 3DS side of things.</div> | blueluigi | Nov 14, 2015 |  |

| 26339 | Fallout Games | Truthfully, if it weren't for the fact I do very little at work in the slow times aside from make major decisions, answer phones, the occasional filling in/filing of documents and occasional manual labor, I would have no reason to spend money on games like this. I could not justify spending a lot of home time on a game, nor would I want to. The only game I'll end up spending any long hours on at home will be the next Mass Effect, and that will be late at night. | Vaporman87 | Nov 13, 2015 | |

| 26337 | The School Bus | I hated riding the school bus. I rode it all the way through my Elementary school days. I did have one great school bus driver from 2nd grade up to 4th grade name Bruce. Then my morning bus driver 5th grade she was cool. Kindergarten was fun on the bus since was in the afternoon class I got to ride in the little yellow bus to school Our bus driver if we got to school early would let us play side and seek till they needed us in the school building. Other then that, it sucked most of the time because of some of the kids who were on the bus always liked to pick on me.<br> | Poshy2005 | Nov 13, 2015 | |
