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: Last Ninja 2 (Commodore 64)

Last Ninja 2 (Commodore 64, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
We say: Save your sawbuck

This week’s VC in Brief is all about Last Ninja 2, the story of one ninja trapped in 1988 New York city. For me, it was more the story of ninja persecution at the hands of the NYPD, but, to be fair, juggling clowns in the park didn’t seem to like me either. Regardless, I found that Last Ninja 2 — much like its predecessor — just isn’t for me.
