WiiVCdb :: The Wii Virtual Console Database

Today is the week people. Stop reading and go get points. I will wait here.

Got them?

Good. Now go buy Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, right now. Yeah baby, that’s right, friggin’ PUNCH OUT!! If that kind of punching doesn’t suit your fancy, how about Virtua Fighter 2 for the Genesis? Be warned, it’s not what you think it is, so check out the images on our VF2 page. Not into a punch/kick deal? Bonk is back too. Yes yes, that fiery tempered balding caveman infant is back to rock your world, in Bonk’s Revenge. All of this will run you exactly 2000 points, that’s a meager $20 USD! Come on, you know you want to! It’s a violent week, but it’s okay, it’s full of really, REALLY good VC games. Enjoy kiddies.

This week’s VC udate brings us one title for the NES, GEN and TG16! On the NES we have Galaga. This is a classic arcade title, and the home conversion for the NES was quite decent. Our Genesis title is Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle… this is a strange title, and for most not worth the points. Alex Kidd was always a second rate on the Master System, the Genesis port sadly wasn’t much better. On the TurboGrafx 16 this week we get BRAVOMAN, and interesting platformer where you use your telescopic limbs to kill the flood of enemies.

Interesting week, but one has to ask… Where is Punchout? The UK and Japan both received Punchout earlier this month/last month but it is oddly absent on the NA Virtual Console. C’mon Nintendo, we are itching to take on Glass Joe, Don Flamenco, Bald Bull and Mr. Sandman!

This is a question that we get here quite a bit. After seeing the site listen in NGamer issue #9 (Hello NGamer readers!!) I wanted to mention that UKEU game listings are coming, just taking a bit longer then expected. I launched this site with just the US games because we needed to launch, but fear not.. we love all gamers equally.

If you guys have any other suggestions on how we can improve things here at the WiiVCdb, please let us know!

Another Week another VC Monday! It’s strange, I can’t remember EVER looking forward to Mondays before, but the Nintendo Wii has sure changed that! After last week’s anemic release, Nintendo has come through and brought us 3 great games to help us while away the hours.

This week sees the release of Dragon’s Curse for the TG-16, Star Fox 64 for the N64 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES!

Personally I’m very excited about the prospects of plating Dragon’s Curse. I owned a Sega Master System way back in the day and Wonderboy in Monsterland was my absolute favorite game on that console. Dragon’s Curse is the sequel to that excellent title, and I am salivating at the prospect of finally playing it. TMNT is also a great if not damn impossible game for the NES. Should I pick up that one first or not.. hmm.. decisions decisions!

Enjoy your VC Monday guys, lets hope for another great release like this one next week!

Eep! Seems we missed a front page post, but to make it up to you guys… I’ll make one.

This week was limited, but we have Koei’s mega hit Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire. It’s a slick little strategy game, but is really slow paced. It’s a slow week all around I guess. One release that you may want to try before you buy - this is NOT everyone’s cup of tea, believe me. Enjoy your week guys, we’ll see you Monday!
