Zombies Ate My... Um... Nevermind
Before I begin, I feel obligated to say that Zombies Ate My Neighbors was one of my favorite games for the Super Nintendo. I adored its twisted humor and cartoony violence because... well, hell, let's face facts: I was (and still am) a grotesquely awful individual who delights in the suffering of others. I blame Hooked On Phonics.
Anyway, it seems that the ESRB has updated their ratings of some truly classic titles from my youth... now, while that seems kinda unimpressive in the news department, it means that they could very well be making their way to a Wii's Virtual Console sometime in the near future:
Newly rated and updated games that could potentially hit the Wii Shop Channel any day now include the Konami published games Zombies Ate My Neighbors!, Castlevania, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Gradius III. A listing for Nintendo's classic NES racer Excitebike also reared its helmeted head.
This makes me absurdly happy, if for no other reason than it gives me an excuse to play some utterly awesome games from my childhood on a HDTV.

The Wii isnt HD. Your TV might be, but the games are low-def, and so is the crappy Wii.
Im pissed that its low-def. Can you tell?
Pfffh, 42-inches, flat-screen, surround sound, and 80's/early 90's graphics--HD or not, the Virtual Console is all about indulging my inner 14-year old. I've been waking up early on Mondays just to see what's new, and now I bet I'm going to be getting up even earlier till Zombies comes out!
Hot. Who wants to bet that TMNT hits around the same time as the movie near the end of March?
Wow, I'm extremely jealous that it isn't coming to XBL. Zombies was one of my favorite SNES games to play, especially with a friend. I loved the level full of the chainsaw guys in hockey masks.
Even XBLA Games wont be in "HD" But that wont stop me from tearing through Castlevania: Symphony of the Night like a fat kid through cake.
