Hudson has announced that Sim Earth will make an appearance on the North American Virtual Console this month. It has already been released for the Japanese Virtual Console.
Sim Earth? Come on, nobody liked it back then, it sure as hell won't do any better today. Me thinks someone is trying to cash in on the upcoming release of The Sims 3....
Sim Earth is like a slow moving, boring Sim City - only this time you control things on a global scale (weather, terrain, population, etc.). It's the same idea as Sim City with all the fun stuff taken out. It's more of a Simulator than a game.
Come on Hudson, let's see some real games. The Virtual Console is not going to get any better with releases like this. Let's show the world what great games were available for the TurboGrafx.

A few weeks ago I bought a Dingoo A320, the coolest (and most affordable) portable game system I have ever owned. Built in, the thing has Neo Geo, CPS1, CPS2, GBA, SNES, Genesis, NES emulators (the SNES and Genesis emulators are about the only ones with issues). All you need to do is copy your ROMs across via USB cable.
Well, I finally came across a PC Engine emulator (and instructions on how to get it working) for the A320:

The PC Engine emulator is slow at the moment, but playable. What's even better is Linux has already been ported to the A320, this means PC Engine emulators that already exist for the Linux platform should be very easy to port to the A320. Basically, we are not far from having a near perfect PC Engine emulator.
The A320 first went on sale back in February, and already it has a dedicated following and developers working on emulators and Linux. Even the great ZodTTD is rumoured to be working on a port of MAME.
More info on the A320:
-Fantastic battery life (7 to 8 hours)
-Great feeling controls
-Price ($84US from DealExtreme)
-Open Source Platform
-4GB or 8GB built-in memory
-MicroSD port for additional expansion
-A/V outputs
-AVI codecs (no h.264 support yet)
Very high potential with this handheld folks. For such a cheap gadget, I love the thing. Here's wishing the A320 a long life.
