VC in Brief: Wonder Boy III (SMS) and Cybernoid (C64)

November 9th, 2009 at 08:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

This week’s Virtual Console update is quite the doozie, giving us one obscure C64 title and one game we’ve played a billion times. We don’t mean to sound bitter, but we’re pretty sure there’s a baker’s dozen Wonder Boy games littering the lands of the Virtual Console. Check ‘em out above!

• Cybernoid (C64, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
• Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap (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.

VC in Brief: California Games (C64)

July 6th, 2009 at 07:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

This week’s release is an old favorite: California Games. Featuring an eclectic mix of sports to play (are these games all Californians know and love?), it’s a game that many likely remember fondly. Well, in playing it for the first time in, oh, over 10 years, we still found it to be quite fun. Save for the roller skating game. That one is the worst.
