    Japan Gets Wii Late, Consoled With VC List

    Mark my words, this Saturday, blood in the streets. That, and grown man crying. Hell, women crying too. This Saturday, the Wii launches in Japan. What am I picking up? Wii Sports (no, it's not bundled here) and nothing else. Why should I? Nintendo is putting a ton of sweet titles on the Virtual Console. The company has disclosed all the games that will hit this year. The Land of the Rising Sun will see, count 'em, 20 more games than the US before year's end. Envy after the jump. Brian Ashcraft
