The PAL Virtual Console's usually encouraging roster of new additions is more than a tad lackluster this week, with just one new offering hitting the download pipe.

1989 Basketball favourite Double Dribble is the game in question, and this is the first time in a while we can recall only one game being added to the VC. The horizontally-scrolling basketball title promises five-on-five play, and faired rather well back in '89, even if it does look a little out-moded today.

Still, it's only 500 Wii Points, and hopefully the Big N will deem us worthy of some slightly tastier 'classics' next week.

We'll keep you posted, then.
