Hey, remember on Sunday when it was mentioned that Mega Man was hitting the Virtual Console this week? That was some pretty exciting news. Were you surprised to discover that you got (arguably) the worst Splatterhouse game and the Sega Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog instead? Destructoid thought not and you weren't alone. Capcom wasn't the only publisher to have made an announcement regarding VC releases for this week either. SNK told us to expect Samurai Showdown II and Hudson had Y's Book I & II on deck. That sounds like a candidate for "best week ever" if it was heard of. So, what happened? GoNintendo got this little bit of PR speak on the matter from Nintendo of America:

I am a little confused here.

So Nintendo delays some VC games and this guy explodes like they cancelled all future third party games ever?

Am I missing something? Its not like this is unique to, well, every gaming system ever.

Not short on quality games,but short of mature themed games or shooters which xbox and ps3 are oversaturated with.
Wii is fun but people overlook this and go straight to the bad.

4 - So....
A couple publishers announce games for release on Wiiware, but the releases were not confirmed by the people that actually approve them and release them for distribution. Without having any inside knowledge or actual facts about what happened, we as gamers have decided to make something up and spread it to as many people that will listen.

Am I the only one that thinks the fan based websites are broken? I would almost give my kidney to take a step back to a time when information was released that was based on atleast partial facts.
