That's not a commentary on this week's new Japanese Virtual Console downloads, although if it had been it would have been a total burn. It's actually the famous game-over screen text from ASCII's remarkably ancient-looking Bokosuka Wars, seen above. Bokosuka Wars has been called the "worst console RPG in existence," which, combined with the enthusiastic text, makes it a must-buy for us if it's ever released here.
Volguard II is equally old and old-looking, though it's apparently a bit higher in quality. And Super Wonder Boy is just regular Wonder Boy, which is fine!
- Bokosuka Wars (Famicom, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
- Volguard II (Famicom, I player, 500 Wii Points)
- Super Wonder Boy (Master System, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)

I would lose on purpose just to see that giant blue king chase after the villagers. It certainly appears as though he is going to lick them.

It seems like we'll never be rid of Wonder Boy... I mean some games are good but there seems to be so many copies...

More like "Wow! Don't you miss your Atari 2600?" Graphics look pretty similar, anyways.
