VC Tuesday: Hi!
This week's Japanese Virtual Console releases are, unquestionably, awesome. Art of Fighting 2 may not be as awesome as the others, but just being the least awesome game in this week's lineup is still pretty great. Nintendo of Japan is just now getting around to offering Blazing Lazers, which we got in May. Japan is actually getting the U.S. version of the game; the Japanese version, Gunhed, was based on a movie license to which Hudson apparently no longer has the rights.As great (and interesting) as Blazing Lazers is, the Famicom release, however, is the best of the bunch. It's Super Dodge Ball. It may be extraordinarily flickery and simplistic, but the gameplay still holds up.
- Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball Bu (Famicom, 1-4 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Blazing Lazers (PC Engine, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
- Ryuuko no Ken 2 (Neo Geo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points)

I've never really been able to use the nintendo channel. Ever since buying the Dr. Mario game on wii ware...I haven't had the required space to run it. Time to delete more games to watch some videos I guess...
