Pair of oldies for Virtual Console News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Nintendo has stuffed two more games into the Wii Virtual Console shop.
Leading the charge is Phantasy Star IV from the days of the Mega Drive, which costs 800 Wii Points (approx GBP 6 / EUR 8) to relive.
Here, spiky-haired heroes save the world turn by turn, complimented by pre-programmed assault routines, combo attacks between players and comic-book-style cut-scenes.
Or there's Mega Man 3, which you might have played on the NES all those years ago. Some people maintain that this is the best in the series: the instalment that introduced the slide move and Rush, the robo-dog helper. Yours for 500 Wii Points (approx GBP 3.50 / EUR 5).
You can expect our thoughts on the pair soon.

I already have the original cart for Megaman 3 but I'm tempted to get it on VC for the convenience

"Um, because Nintendo have an exclusivity deal in place? Dump that noisy radiator and get some Wii goodness! "
Dont think so mate. Mega Man is owned by Capcom and Phantasy Star by Sega. The new Mega Man game and other Capcom classics has come to XBLA and many Sega classics too. |

I wish more people had played Phantasy Star IV when it was released and saw how outdated FFVII was with all it's 'revolutionary' story features being done years before and handled much better.
