Nintendo Japan has announced its Virtual Console lineup for April, and there seems to be enough material to restart classic system wars. PC Engine fans can look forward to more Bonk, his late-life sidekick, Zonk, and Bloody Wolf. Sega fans can look forward to Rent a Hero. Nintendo fans? How do Punch Out, Ninja Gaiden, Final Fight and Star Fox 64 sound?
Here's what the April lineup looks like in its entirety.
FAMICOM
Punch Out (Nintendo, 500 points)
Elevator Action (Taito, 500)
Ninja Ryuukenden (aka Ninja Gaiden, Tecmo, 500)
Meikyuu Kumikyoku (aka Milon's Secret Castle, Hudson, 500)
Gradius 2 (Konami, 500)
SUPER FAMICOM
Hercules no Eikou III (Pione, 800)
Final Fight (Capcom, 800)
Kirby Bowl (Nintendo, 800)

That's a whole lot of gaming in just one month. We'll close as always by offering the futile hope that most of these titles will make a quick trip to territories outside of Japan.
