VC in Brief: Fighting Street (TG16) and R-TYPE (SMS)

Posted by Mister-X on November 2nd, 2009 at 09:15pm

This week's Virtual Console releases kind of pale in comparison to last week's stellar offerings; Fighting Street is a crummy game that helped spawn one of gaming's best series, whereas R-TYPE is a great game, though the version offered this week is the lousier port. There's been a way more competent version of the game available since 2006!

Fighting Street (TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
R-TYPE (Sega Master System, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)

Every week, we like to check out what's new on the Virtual Console. We offer these videos as a sort of taste to help you decide whether or not you would want the game in question. We also toss in our own two cents because we're pushy jerks like that.
