According to IGN, Pokemon Rumble will actually be $3 cheaper at 1,200 Nintendo Points.
*mumble mumble* I guess thats better DX. Yeah that's a little better, but still too much. I'd love it if they really do have a demo for it though, as I'm more interested in just trying it out than spending $12 on it (the latter would only come if I really like it). I wonder if Pokemon Ranch would have sold significantly less had there been a demo for it when it was released? (probably not since it sold more than any other wiiware game regardless of all the reviews warning people about it being nothing more than a Pokemon screen saver)

Well, it's basically Pokémon Box 2. I heard you can rare Pokémon from it though, like Mew.
I don't plan on ever getting it though.

Just because a game for VC is rated by the ESRB it doesn't really mean it'll actually come out(any time soon at least), so this isn't exactly confirmation it'll come out soon, but Final Fantasy II for SNES(or as we call it in modern times, Final Fantasy IV) was rated by the ESRB. But I think we can expect to see it soon since its been released in Japan, Final Fantasy has been released, and the sequel is on Wiiware. It might actually boost sales of the Wiiware title since there were some people who never played the first game so they didn't want to try the sequel(and I don't blame them, it is a VERY direct sequel).

Yeah wasn't EarthBound rated? We know that's never coming out. That was a mistake on nintendo's part, but Final Fantasy 4 DID get released on the Japanese virtual console, and knowing square. Its not a matter of it, but a matter of when.

And then there was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II for NES that was rated and then fell off the face of the Earth, though that could've been license issues. But yeah, I have no doubt that FFIV will hit VC, I just wanted to bring up it MIGHT be soon.

WiiWare
Pokémon Rumble Publisher: Nintendo Players: 1-4 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Cartoon Violence Price: 1,500 Wii Points Description: Available exclusively for the WiiWare service, Pokémon Rumble is an action game in which you control Toy Pokémon (referred to as "Pokémon") and take on wave after wave of other Pokémon in a variety of stages. You can befriend some of the defeated Pokémon along the way, which lets you add them to your collection and grants you the ability to use them in battle. Switch between collected Pokémon at any time, taking advantage of the fact that the amount of damage you deal depends on the type of move used and the type of Pokémon hit. Be the last one standing to gain the right to compete in the Battle Royale and test your skills against many Pokémon at once. You can also team up with three people for some multiplayer action (additional Wii Remote controllers required), working together to take down tough Bosses and earning points that can be used toward recruiting or training Pokémon. You can even save your favorite Pokémon to your Wii Remote™ controller for exchanges with friends. Combining beautiful cel-shaded graphics and exciting game-play features, this is one rumble you won't want to miss. Note that a demo version of Pokémon Rumble is also available for zero Wii Points.
BIT.TRIP BEAT Demo Publisher: Aksys Games Players: 1-4 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 0 Wii Points Description: BIT.TRIP BEAT brings retro action back as you use the Wii Remote controller's motion sensor to bounce beats in this rhythm game. Retro visuals, classic game play, four-player multiplayer and an 8-bit soundtrack will get you in the zone and rock your world. Pay attention, though: As with most classic games, the challenges are mighty. If you can stay cool as the difficulty increases, you'll discover the beginnings of the BIT.TRIP saga.
FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord Demo Publisher: SQUARE ENIX Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes Price: 0 Wii Points Description: Step into the royal shoes of the Darklord's daughter as she installs traps and monsters inside her tower to fight back the endless waves of invading adventurers in this world-conquest role-playing game. Filling your demonic tower with monsters and traps called Artifacts is your only hope to keep the adventurers from destroying the Dark Crystal on the top floor. Fly your tower across the land and conquer every stage on your way to dominating the entire world.
NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits Demo Publisher: Over The Top Games Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Fantasy Violence Price: 0 Wii Points Description: NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits is the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl who must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend, Icarus. Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You'll need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds at will. Fly, aim and shoot using the Wii Remote controller. Play with a friend and maximize your abilities: While one player controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the gods.
World of Goo Demo Publisher: 2D BOY Players: 1-4 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Comic Mischief Price: 0 Wii Points Description: World of Goo is an award-winning, physics-based puzzle/construction game made entirely by two guys. Use living, squirming, talking globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins and giant tongues. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore, but they don't know that they are in a game, nor that they are extremely delicious.
Virtual Console
Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures™ Original platform: Super NES™ Publisher: LucasArts Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Violence Price: 800 Wii Points Description: Grab your trusty whip and slash your way through all three Indy classics in this no-thrills-barred adventure. If it happened in the movies, it happens here: the giant boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark, the mine-cart chase from Temple of Doom, the three trials from Last Crusade, Rene Belloq and Colonel Vogel – it's three times the action, all in one fully loaded game.
STREET FIGHTER II': CHAMPION EDITION Original platform: TurboGrafx16 Publisher: Capcom Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: T (Teen) – Mild Blood, Violence Price: 700 Wii Points Description: This is the classic PCEngine (TurboGrafx16) version of the two-player fighting game that started it all. At the time, a large capacity HuCARD was used to allow faithful recreation of the dynamic arcade game and its features, including bonus stages and sound effects. In the game, players select one of 12 characters and face opponents in a no-holds-barred battle to decide the top fighter. Master a character's special moves and combos to defeat your rivals around the world. In "V.S. BATTLE" mode, there's a convenient handicap feature. Using this feature to adjust a character's performance, a novice player can be evenly matched against a seasoned player to enjoy an intense, head-to-head combat experience.
Nintendo DSiWare
Art Style™: DIGIDRIVE™ Publisher: Nintendo Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points™ Description: It's traffic control with a twist as you try to direct identical cars down the same road in Art Style: DIGIDRIVE. This constantly moving puzzle game combines an easily understood playing field (an intersection) and a simple goal (create fuel), challenging you to properly guide a never-ending stream of cars. Stack similar cars five deep to create some fuel, then use that fuel to continue your progress in the game. Play in ENDLESS mode to see how long you can last, or compete against the computer or a human opponent in VS mode. Use combos to your advantage and see if your reflexes can handle the intensity of Overdrive mode. When all is said and done, you may never look at gridlock quite the same way again.
Arcade Bowling Publisher: Skyworks Interactive Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points Description: From Skyworks comes another addictively classic game, Arcade Bowling. It was designed by video game legend David Crane, one of the original founders of Activision and one of the most critically acclaimed game designers of all time. In the tradition of everyone's favorite Boardwalk bowling game, use your stylus and steady aim to flick "laser" balls down the alley and up the ramp into the scoring holes. The farther away the scoring hole is, the more points you'll get. Arcade Bowling features three futuristic sound tracks, state-of-the-art 3-D graphics and two addictive game modes, Classic and Progressive. In Classic Mode, roll up to nine balls to score as many points as you can. In Progressive Mode, enjoy multiple levels of game play with increasing score plateaus and bonus targets.
Robot Rescue Publisher: Teyon Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Comic Mischief Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Robot Rescue is a fun logic game based on a simple but entertaining concept. Your mission is to free robots trapped in 45 evil computer labyrinths while avoiding deadly traps. Sound easy? Not so fast. Each robot shares linked controls, so when you move one, you move them all. It will take clever planning and nerves of steel to pull off this electronic escape. You'll need to avoid many traps, such as mines or electrical circuits, and take advantage of special elements like glue stains. Choose one of three difficulty levels and get ready for a challenge.
Five demos sounds good, plus they are some of the WiiWare's better games. Think I'll give the Bit.Trip Beat a try.
Also, I tried the Pokemon Rumble demo. I liked it so I bought it. I also heard if you have a Club Nintendo account then you will get a password for an exclusive pokemon or something.

It's nice that we got five demos. I downloaded the Pokémon, Final Fantasy and NyxQuest demos though I've only played Pokémon so far. I had more fun than I expected actually...
I was pleasantly surprised with seeing Indiana Jones being added. I was hoping they would add it since it's apparently the Indiana Jones equivalent of the Super Star Wars games but with all three movies covered in one game.

Stinks that the demos will only be around for a limited amount of time. (According to the Wii Shop Channel's news section)
