ESRB News:Sonic Chaos coming to the Wii's Virtual Console 
News:<a href="http://wii.kombo.com/article.php?artid=13566">Nintendo Customer Service is Like Snickers: It Satisfies</a> 
My to do list for Feb 09:Add more Gaming Sections, remove the Snowfall affect until next winter, and Me and the owner of Nintendo Cosmos may do a Wii Speak Postcast type thing 
Topsite:Zelda 101 Topsites version 5.2.0 
If you are a new Webmaster or Webmistress of a new Nintendo based website or Forum and want to promote it you can join the Zelda 101 Topsites List.It is a Top 20 list.Also you will have to wait before i approve your site to get the Code because it will get E-mailed to you or you can get the Link Code when you login to your Topsite Member Account.place the Button where people can find it.Yes you can add a resize tag if the Button is bigger then your site's section too.The button size is only 100 x 50 for those who want to know.Also for Security reasons you will have to know the answer to my Security Question.If you need the Answer feel free to e-mail me.I am doing this to keep Spammers and Bots away from my Topsite list. 
I plan to add more Virtual Console Game sections, a Mario and Luigi RPG 2 and 3 section for those systems as well as remove the Snowfall affect until next year.I will keep you all posted about this next idea but we may do a Wii Speak Post Cast type of thing.I also plan to add other things and try to promote this site some more too.If you like this site and your Friends or family are Nintendo only fans then feel free to tell them about us too.This Revamped layout is more about improving the Content and text errors before we improve upon the Graphics and that stuff. 
Kombo Wii has some Nintendo Customer Service news and It's a rare instance when Nintendo fails to satisfy with their customer service. In contrast, since the launch of their Club Nintendo site, many users have had difficulties with logging in, getting surveys to fill out for coins, and other peculiarities. But here is some of what Jay Leininger got to his response from Nintendo's Customer Service: "Hello, 
 
I'm not sure why the surveys associated with your game is not appearing in your To-Do list, but we'll research the problem and resolve it. Please keep an eye out for the surveys in the future. Also, since you've had trouble with your surveys, we'll add some bonus coins to your account when the issue is resolved." He even got some Bonus Coins for his trouble as you will see when you read the rest of this from Kombo Wii above. 
According to the ESRB Sonic Chaos is coming to the Virtual Console.I have this game on my Game Gear.But since i can't play it on my Game Gear any more i may have to get it later. 
This list is not going to be as big so here it goes: 
Next up is the N64 VC Games and here is where i will add a bit more then the Genesis VC Games. 
F-Zero X, Mario Golf, Mario Kart 64, Paper Mario, Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64, Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros if you have a Japanese Wii, and Wave Race 64.If you like Yoshi games then Yoshi's Story for those who like like Yoshi's games no matter what. 
I will start with the Genesis first. 
Boogerman, Earthworm Jim,Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3.I would have more but these are just the games that most people would get that would last them for a while.I maybe missing some but like i said these are games that most would also recommand for any new VC Gamer.

Cleanup:Move Past Updates for January 2009 to the Past Updates section 
Coming:Yoshi's Story Section 
Update:Yoshi's Story Section Added 
News:<a href="http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=17374">NINTENDO REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FINANCIALS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009</a> 
News:<a href="http://gonintendo.com/?p=70925">Leipzig Games Convention cancelled</a> 
Go Nintendo has some bad news about LGC and here it is: "Well, that was over quickly! The very successful Leipzig Games Convention is now just a memory. As we reported a number of months ago, the people behind the LGC were battling it out with GamesConmevent, another trade show that was doing its best to squash the LGC. Now that day has come, and LGC is no more. The team that was behind the LGC are starting a new event called Games Convention Online, but its focus will be mobile and client-based games." You can read more from the IGN link they have up on their Website above. 
Nintendo has released more Sales news and here is some of it: "Despite nearly unprecedented strength of the yen against major foreign currencies, Nintendo Co., Ltd. on Thursday (Japan time) reported 9-month (April to December 2008) global sales of 1,536 billion yen, an increase of nearly 17% over the same period in 2007, along with 501 billion yen of operating profits, up 27% from a year ago. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Nintendo Co., Ltd. has exceeded the previous results for the same nine month period. At the same time, recurring and net profits for the same nine month periods each declined about 18% due to 174 billion yen of foreign currency reevaluation losses from assets held in currencies other than Japanese yen (such as bank deposits without forward exchange contracts). 
 
For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, the company revised its unit sales forecast for the portable Nintendo DS™ system upward by 3% to 31.5 million globally, while the DS software forecast was lowered by 7% to 193 million. For the Wii™ system, with softness in the Japanese consumer market, full year global unit sales estimates for both hardware and software were revised downward by 3%, to 26.5 million systems and 193 million games, respectively, in spite of the overall robust sales outside Japan." You can read the rest of this from Nintendo's Press Room above. 
 
I added the Yoshi's Story Section to the N64 VC Section.I have finished it for now by adding a Codes Section for the Game too. 
I am going to add some more Virtual Console Game sections and one of those is a Yoshi's Story Section.It will have a Codes Section too. 
I have cleaned the Index up of past updates from January 1st to January 26th to the Past Updates for January 2009 section.
