NintendoWare Weekly: Gargoyle's Quest, The Ignition Factor

Once again, to our delight, Virtual Console games grace two separate Nintendo platforms today, and both are "fire" themed to a degree. On the 3DS eShop, Capcom's excellent RPG-ish Ghosts 'n Goblins spinoff, Gargoyle's Quest, is now available. The somewhat more obscure SNES firefighting game, The Ignition Factor, is on Wii.

DSiWare sees a very cute Bubble Bobble-esque game, and ... Calculator. Which is a calculator.
