UK VC Friday Roundup: Five Star [6-27-2008]
via IGN
A wave of generosity from Nintendo this week, who having deigned to finally grant us sensitive European types with Super Smash Bros Brawl – which, as our UK review attests, is rather great – present us with a cavalcade of classics on the Virtual Console this week.
Top of the list is the sublime Super Fantasy Zone, a surreal Mega Drive shooter that plays like a freeform Parodius. Which is a little inadequate as a description, so you're maybe better off reading our comprehensive retro review, and the game is yours for 800 Wii Points.
One of Pacman's forays outside of his maze is also available, in the form of the 1993 Super Nintendo puzzler Pac-Attack which is available for 800 Wii Points.
What's the best thing ever? Why, wrestling monsters of course, all brought to you in the Neo Geo gem Kings of the Monsters. The first in an ongoing series, you can take charge of the likes of Godzilla for the total sum of 900 Wii points.
Finally, two C64 tidbits, in the form of shooter Cybernoind and sprinter Summer Games 2 - which is probably a good bet at kindling an Olympian spirit before events kick off in Beijing next month. Both games are yours for the very reasonable 500 Wii points each.
