This week is truly grim, other than a shining beacon on the Virtual Console front. Super Mario Kart is finally going to be available! As you race around the tracks in glorious Mode 7, try to forget that Scene It? Twilight is also being released. Isn't it too early for that? Oh, when is it ever to early to make money on the backs of impressionable young girls and menopausal women looking to fill the void that Clay Aiken left?

BORDERLANDS DLC!! I'm so happy this is coming out, I can't wait to kill more zombies, it's probably on my list of favorite things to do. Ninja Assassin also looks like a terrible plot for a movie, the story will be crap for sure, but that's not what I'll be seeing it for.
kind of a sad week for retail though, but there's definitely more ahead, and I'm pretty sure there won't be enough time in the day to get caught up on everything.....Thank You Jeff for putting this up!
Don't forget the release of The Infernal City today.
I love the weekly roundup. It makes it so easy to know whats going on.
i am glad there is nothing new coming out that is like "I HAVE TO GET THIS!!!" , because there is already a ton of games that i am currently splitting my time between. feels like a second job! lol. 2009 is a great year in video-gaming!!!!
@ Aiden
i agree. weekly round up is definatly a good source of information. one of the reasons why game informer is my GO TO site!!!
Thank the video game gods for nintendo! And for gearbox and their intellect for putting DLC for Borderlands on this week of NOTHING happening.
I LOVE OLD SCHOOL GAMES NOW THEY NEED KILLER INSTINCT LIVE THEN THAT WOULD TOP IT ALL OFF LOL
Borderlands DLC is here. So stoked!!!!1
Scene it? Twilight?! Wow, just when I thought the utter desecration of the supernatural couldn't get any worse...
Nothing happening this week? Good, I have too many games to play as it is.
i need borderlands dlc!
Yeah, I'm excited for the Borderlands DLC.
This is going to be a slow week. I am excited about Super Mario Kart though!
There isn't much going on this week. Super Mario Kart? YES!!!!!!!!!!
ninja assasin seems like a redundant itle doesnt it lol
Where is Cave Story on WiiWare, will it ever come out? Only Super Mario Kart can make feel a bit better about this.
Nothing really interests me on that list.....but since I'm getting a Wii this holiday season I might check out Virtual Console downloads.
Scene it, Twilight edition? Man, i feel bad for whoever...wait...sonofa...
Ugh..... Every time something Twilight-related comes out a little piece of me dies..... This plague has infected my little sister, and I fear that it's slowly corrupting her mind. Next thing we know ALL vampires will sparkle..... *shudders*
