Virtual Console Monday - Paper Mario, Balloon Fight, and Silent Debuggers
Monday, July 16th, 2007 at 8:40am by David
Three new titles added to the VC this week:
Paper Mario - N64
Paper Mario is a graphically innovative game that breaks from the confines of the RPG genre. Now slimmed down, everyone’s favorite plumber flips, spins, jumps and hammers his way through scads of exotic worlds that teem with a huge and hugely entertaining supporting cast.
Balloon Fight - NES
Control a character to pop your opponents’ balloons before they pop yours. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Don’t be fooled by this game’s simple premise or cute exterior. Underneath you’ll find a surprisingly addictive game with strategy to spare.
Silent Debuggers - TG16
Make your way through a dungeon-like space station and defeat the prowling monsters in this real-time first-person shooter. You’re a member of the elite Debuggers, a group of warriors who are jacks-of-all-trades.
A couple of classics plus an intriguing TG16 title. Downloading anything this week?

I absolutely adored Paper Mario–it was one of my favorite games on the 64. About the only way today could have been better news would be it bringing Super Metroid — guess that’s for yet another week.
Having since played Paper Mario on the Game Cube, I hope replaying the original still holds the magic it did the first time… will find out today!

YES! I’ve been waiting for Paper Mario to come out on the VC forever! Now I can finally play it again.
Hurry up and put Super Mario RPG on the VC Nintendo, I want to put the smack down on Smithy again!

Too bad I still have Paper Mario on the N64 (I’ve beaten it at LEAST ten times) or I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

YAAAAHOOOO!!! Time to retype my credit card or put in a game-card code. (for the 10th time.. lol)
Maybe i should go for the 5000 instead of the least amount.
Tonight is Paper Mario 1, 2, and 3 day all on my wii!!!!

I never played this game.
I think it deserves a download.
