blackwiimoteThose of us who took an early interest in Nintendo’s now market-leading Wii system remember it being flaunted in a bevvy of colors. Green, blue, pink and some other colors were shown, but black and white understandably stood out as the pack favorites, with white eventually winning the color war.

Those of you, myself included, who were rooting for a black Wii (lol) will find Nintendo’s latest Wii-related announced a tad bittersweet. The Big N has just revealed that they will launch a black variation of the Wiimote, the Nunchuck, and the Wii Motion Plus peripheral this holiday season. Sadly enough, however, no black version of the actual system has been announced as of the time of this writing, but I’ll remain hopeful.

It’s been an overly long wait for American Gamers to finally get their hands on the Virtual Console release of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, possibly the most under appreciated Zelda title aside from Windwaker. This gem originally hit store shelves for the Nintendo 64 way back in 2000 and was one of the last hurrah’s for the 64 cartridge king. Because it released so late in the system’s life, sadly, many gamers failed to pick up a copy, depriving themselves of one of the greatest adventures of all time.

To celebrate this, we are going to bring you reviews of every single entry onto the Virtual Console starting with the timeless original making our way to Majora’s Mask.
