A disappointing week for Virtual Console releases in Australia (and presumably other PAL regions). This week, we got a single title - Double Dribble from the NES. Maybe Nintendo figures that since we got the Mii Contest channel this week, they can skimp on the Virtual Console releases. Maybe they are simply holding some stuff back for the school holiday season when lots of bored kids will want some cheap thrills. I dunno. Either way, my memories of Double Dribble were that it was good two-player fun in the 90’s, but only because every teenage boy in Australia seemed to be basketball crazy at the time of it’s release. I don’t think it’s one of those games that is likely to have stood the test of time, but then I’m usually a harsh critic of any sport’s videogame. If you wanna play basketball, get outside and shoot some hoops fatboy !

I’d check Double Dribble out on vNES  before committing to buying this one.
