March came in like a lion for the Wii as Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released, and it went out like a sheep because nothing new of interest came out.

The last month on the Virtual Console has been light to say the least. Only getting a total of 7 games, it is by the Virtual Console's lightest showing. It is not to say however, that the quality was bad. Quite the opposite, as the Virtual Console brought us some of the best games released on the Virtual Console in months. It's just disappointing that the quantity took a hit.
