For the first time ever, Nintendo has managed to actually increase their Virtual Console output year over year, and incredible accomplishment. Oh, and they also released Mario Golf on the 3DS Virtual Console, which isn't nearly as big of an accomplishment. Find out what we think of both games when you read another exciting episode of This Week in Defunct Games!
