Only one Virtual Console release this week, folks. And, sad to say, it's not the best title around. To get a taste of the game in action, hit play on the video above. If you're more into reading than watching a video, head past the break.
Ninja Combat (NEOGEO, 1 - 2 players, 900 Wii Points)
Wii Fanboy says: do not download
On the surface, Ninja Combat very much looked like a good time. But, upon picking up the controller and diving into the title, I found it was nothing more than a hollow button-masher, void of challenge and any kind of enjoyment. Well, there is some enjoyment to be had, in the ridiculous story and dialog that fill the game. Skip this one, folks.
Each week, we here at Wii Fanboy like to check out the latest Virtual Console releases in our VC Monday Madness feature, for you, in the hopes that you can make the most sound decision you can regarding purchasing retro titles on the Wii.

If this game were made today, the ninja's quest would involve saving all of those oil drums. =P

Who needs Ryu Hayabusa when these two badasses are on the scene? >.>

Monday madness is definitely the best thing to come from the virtual console's existence..
I love you Hinkle! I already can't wait for next Monday!

Wow, uh, I'm not used to being addressed in a favorable tone. A guy could get used to this! :)
Thanks for the kind words!

You're welcome!
But I'm just a fan, man. It's my pleasure.
(PS: thanks for replying to me! Made my day :)

David's soothing voice rivals that of Zen-master and painting instructor extraordinaire, Bob Ross.
