VC Friday: Four, but not of a kind

by Alisha Karabinus { Jul 27th 2007 at 10:35AM }

This week's Virtual Console update for Europe is all about choice. Four games are on the block, and pretty much all they have in common is retro goodness. From pinball to pool to RPG, you can revel in whatever you like the best this weekend ... unless you like beat 'em ups or shooters, and the VC is already full of those.

Breath of Fire II -- SNES -- 800 Wii points
Devil's Crush -- TurboGrafx -- 600 Wii points
Kirby's Ghost Trap -- SNES -- 800 Wii points
Lunar Pool -- NES -- 500 Wii points

So, campers, anything you feel like downloading this week?

Is Breath of Fire II really released today? Everywhere else seems to be reporting that this weeks releases are Devil's Crush and Kirby's Ghost Trap, not BoF2 or Lunar Pool :/

Finally Devil's Crush! I may actually have to buy a VC game now...

Hrm, I just looked on the wii shop channel here in the UK and I can't see BOF2 and Lunar Pool

For those who don't know:
Kirby's Ghost Trap (EU) = Kirby's Avalanche (NA)

I always wondered why NOA and NOE had the need to use different names for... nearly every game they release.

So how long until they bring Lunar Pool to the US? I freakin' loved that game!!!! Must have that ASAP if anyone at the Big N is listening :)

@ BPM

Probably taking into account the importance of other languages in that region, and a lot of names probably didn't translate well (like StarFox, perhaps, may not have sounded that well in German, Dutch, French, etc), thus Lylat Wars

or maybe the European division was at odds with the others (much like the divisiveness between Sega of America and of Japan in the Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast days)
