Japan Virtual Console: Super Mario RPG in June

Curious to see what Virtual Console game releases Japanese users are getting this month?

Nintendo has revealed the full list, and fans of the Super Nintendo Super Mario RPG will be happy to see it included. The game, developed by Square, was the final Mario game on the console.

Another interesting addition to the service is Tranformers: Convoy no Nazo, generally considered one of the worst Famicom games ever and the subject of one of the more hilarious episodes of Game Center CX.

Below, the full list of June releases in Japan. For more Legend of the Seven Stars remembrance, have a listen to the newly released Heavy Troopa remix album.
