Alex Kidd and Secret Command on VC News

Wii Retro News by Tom Bramwell

17 April, 2009

Nintendo has updated the Virtual Console with a pair of Master System games this week. They are Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars and Secret Command.

The former is the third Alex Kidd platformer to grace the Virtual Console after Miracle World (also for Master System) and Enchanted Castle (Megadrive).

Secret Command - overhauled for a Rambo: First Blood Part II tie-in in the US - is a top-down shooter where you try to free POWs.

Since both are for Master System, they both go for 500 Wii Points, or approximately GBP 3.50 / EUR 5.

Man I remember being so jealous of people with Alex Kidd back in the day, being a Nintendo child.

It really is not as good as I remember. Rainbow Islands though, there's a non-Mario platformer that stands the test of time RELEASE IT ON VC YOU BASTARDS.

Secret Command and Toejam and Earl are the only games my mum would play with me when I was young :) Love that one!
