Wonder Boy III now on Virtual Console

via Eurogamer


Polish your rose-tinted spectacles and set your sat nav to Memory Lane – another pair of olden days games are now available on the Virtual Console.

First up is Clu Clu Land, a maze game that first appeared on the NES. You must manoeuvre bubbles around, avoiding spiky sea urchins and defending yourself with sonic shockwaves. Yours for 500 Wii Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5).

For something a bit more contemporary, how about Mega Drive title Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair? Save the world of Xenobia by battling enemies, collecting power-ups and battling more enemies. A friend can join in, playing as the lovely Priscilla. The game costs 800 Wii Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8).

The new additions bring the total number of games available on the Virtual Console to 280. Crumbs.

Wonderboy III, now that is cool, though...

...if someone would just post a simple guide on how to make your own VC packages with custom banner gfx...

...these releases will be obsolete for the most of us. I got Monster World IV running, but alas no custom banner gfx. ;/

...aghh, and on that note, I may well have a tutorial on how to do custom banner gfx very soon, just got a small problem with Alpha Layers in GIMP to get around and all "should" be good to go.
