Today's Virtual Console update brings one of the best action games released on the SNES to Wii - Super Turrican.
The Turrican series originally started out on Commodore 64, but was gradually ported over to almost every platform as the franchise grew.
If you take a look at the game by following this handy YouTube link (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zTQUoJ1lAOA), you'll see it's a brilliant mix of ridiculously over-the-top firepower, Metroid-style exploration and a killer soundtrack.
It's 800 Wii Points, and for once we think that's a worthwhile purchase.
Also released is something called Psychosis from the Turbografx, which we've only heard of because we already researched it for this week's US Virtual Console releases. It's 600 Wii Points, if you're interested.
