VC Tuesday: Champion by default
Japan's Virtual Console releases today are, literally, infinitely more awesome than our domestic lineup, because they exist. This week was Nintendo of America's turn to take a break from VC games to promote WiiWare, so any Virtual Console game that came out in Japan this week looks that much better in comparison to nothing.Even without the easy advantage, the lineup is not bad at all. Bubble Bobble is a total classic, as is Alex Kidd in Miracle World. And Martial Champion, Konami's Street Fighter II-era fighter, is the kind of previously unknown oddity we love to see on the VC.
- Bubble Bobble (Famicom, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Alex Kidd in Miracle World (Sega Master System, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
- Martial Champion (PC Engine CD-ROM, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
