Now on Virtual Console

Now on Virtual Console

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 bring Hanabi Festival 2 to a close with more gaming classics never seen in Europe before! But watch this space in the future, as the Festival may return…

Star Parodier – Turbografx (Hanabi Festival)

Hudson Soft’s Star Soldier series gets the parody treatment in Star Parodier, a cutesy shoot ‘em up packed with classic Hudson in-jokes. Play as Bomberman, a Star Soldier fighter or even a flying PC Engine! Originally a CD-Rom release, Star Parodier is also famous for its toe-tapping soundtrack.

Digital Champ Battle Boxing – Turbografx (Hanabi Festival)

This arcade-style boxing game, previously unseen outside of Japan, features a rare first-person perspective. Take on the world’s greatest prize fighters as you perform powerful jabs, hooks and uppercuts, controlling both of your gloves independently.

Gley Lancer – SEGA MEGA DRIVE (Hanabi Festival)

Cult classic shoot ‘em up Gley Lancer comes to Virtual Console; its first release outside of Japan! When her father is captured by alien forces, young rookie pilot Lucia takes a prototype fighter on a rescue mission, engaging the enemy across space, underwater or through claustrophobic caves.

The Virtual Console houses such classics as The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario 64 and Sonic the Hedgehog. Click here to read more about all Virtual Console games available.
