Surprise! MSX game finally available on Japanese VC
Unable to resist the opportunity to release a game late even as they were releasing it on time, D4 Enterprise has finally released one of their two planned MSX games (which are now over a year late). Aleste has been added to today's lineup of Virtual Console games, for 800 Wii Points. The other announced MSX game, EGGY, has been postponed for an unspecified amount of time.Sliding a single release in under the wire is sort of an inauspicious debut for the MSX, but it's better than seeing those two games delayed over and over again, loitering at the bottom of Nintendo's Virtual Console lineup page.

There are tons and tons of great MSX games. I hope some come out in the U.S. It's a shame the MSX ver. of Metal Gear 2 couldn't ever come out here though (complete with movie-icon character portraits -- Sean Connery as Big Boss)

Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence has it. I can't remember if it's just on the limited edition or not.

Give me the Gradius/Nemesis games! I want Gradius 2 and Gofer no Yabou Episode 2, as well as the insanely hard MSX version of Salamander.

So it was insanely hard then... Thank god. I thought it was just because I was crap at it.
MSX - one of the most apreciated systems ever produced.
