Download some of the best games from the N64, NES, SNES, SEGA Mega Drive, SEGA MASTER SYSTEM, NEOGEO, Commodore 64 and TurboGrafx (PC Engine) eras in Wii's Virtual Console!
New games are added to the Wii Shop Channel every Friday. This week, we continue our Hanabi Festival season with more classics never seen in Europe before!
Also, NEOGEO makes its eagerly awaited comeback on Virtual Console with the much-loved Metal Slug!
Cho Aniki – Turbografx (Hanabi Festival)
Cho Aniki (meaning ‘Muscle Brothers’) is a quirky Japanese side-scrolling shooter that pits a flying hero or heroine against an onslaught of unusual enemies, assisted by the musclebound siblings Samson and Adon, who would go on to star in their own sequels.
Puyo Puyo 2 – SEGA MEGA DRIVE (Hanabi Festival)
The quintessential head-to-head puzzle game from Japan, Puyo Puyo 2, pits you against a human or computer opponent as you arrange falling ‘Puyo’ into like-coloured chains, to send filler blocks to scupper your rival – before they do the same to you!
Break In – Turbografx (Hanabi Festival)
The makers of pinball classics Alien Crush and Devil’s Crush turn their hands to billiards. In the story-driven Simulation mode, play your way out of trouble when you stow aboard a cruise liner. In Action mode, hone your skills against the computer or up to three friends, and try some trick shots in Technique mode.
Metal Slug – NEOGEO
NEOGEO returns to Virtual Console with this all-time run ‘n’ gun favourite! Battle through waves of comical enemy troops, on foot or behind the wheel of the titular tank, rescuing POWs as you go. Heavy on laughs and on action, Metal Slug offers the ultimate arcade-style experience.
