VC in Brief: Street Fighter II’ Champion Edition (TG16) and Indiana Jones (SNES)

November 16th, 2009 at 08:45pm Under Wii / Nintendo

This week, the Virtual Console dumptruck has unloaded two new games onto Wii consoles. One is a fighting game with a superior version already on the service, while the other is a pretty good Factor 5 joint for the SNES. If you fancy yourself an Indy fan (not that kinda Indy), then you’ll definitely want to check out the video above.

Actually, you should probably just watch it anyway. You know, just to be safe.

Indiana Jones’ Greatest Adventures (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
Street Fighter II’ Champion Edition (TG16, 1 – 2 players, 700 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: Fighting Street (TG16) and R-TYPE (SMS)

November 2nd, 2009 at 09:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

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!

R-TYPE (Sega Master System, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)

VC in Brief: SimEarth (TG16)

June 22nd, 2009 at 06:45pm Under Wii / Nintendo

SimEarth: The Living Planet (TG16 CD-ROM, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
We say: Best played on PC

This week’s release is an oldie, but a goodie: SimEarth: The Living Planet for the TurboGrafx-16. It’s been a long time since I played this game, and it’s still as fun as I remember it. It’s much better on the PC (way better controls), but, if this is your only way to play the game, I’d suggest you check it out.
