This is a very interesting week to be predicting VC releases. Nintendo of Europe celebrating the Hanabi Festival, and their regions are getting several games that were never released there before. Nintendo of America has not yet announced if they are participating in the festival, but for this week’s predictions we are going to take a wild guess and say that NOA will be participating on some level. The first 4 games listed today are ones that NOE has announced as part of the festival, and the final 2 are games that have been hanging around on our list for a while. We will have to wait until tomorrow to find out if we are going to be seeing some of these great games.

 

SMB 2: The Lost Levels
