Punch Out leads VC update News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Smashing its way into our news face today are three new updates for European Virtual Console, lead by the comical-slugger Punch Out for NES.
Here you strap on the gloves of a glass-chinned rookie, as you attempt to dazzle your way up to the big time and become the champion of the world.
Stepping into the ring next is The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, a SNES action adventure. You get to play as Kid Ying or Dr. Yang on your quest to rescue a kidnapped princess, completing tasks and battling waves of enemies on your own, or in two-player co-op.
Finally there's the TurboGrafx-16 classic, Dragon Curse. Here, just like many past weekends, you have a run in with a nasty dragon that leaves you as part lizard, part man. Naturally you're not too pleased with these circumstances and will have to seek out the Salamander Cross if you want to return to being human, which will naturally involve lots of fighting and plenty of dragon bosses.
You can get hold of all three from the Wii Shop Channel now. Remember that NES nibbles will cost you 500 Wii points, SNES sizzlers 800, and TurboGrafx ticklers 600.

Thought Dragons Curse sounded familiar, its apparantly a version of Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap, which is one of my favorite games ever.
SOLD! |

Oh my god, I loved Legend of the Mystical Ninja.
I would make my way to the fun fair level (think it was the third), and then spend all my money on the attractions. I knew all of the mazes inside out, and many a gold coin went on the horse racing. I hope they have sorted out the save feature though, having to enter a 30 digit, case sensitive code was a pain at the best of times. |

I don't know anything about these VC releases but have they been changed in any way from the originals? If not then I suspect that they don't need reviewing again. |

Hmm.. But pacman, frogger, etc all got reviewed on LA, and they were hardly changed from originals. .. And it's not as if EG themselves reviewed them first time? |

Finally - Dragon's Curse! Woot!
(I wonder if they chose Punch Out! over Super Punch Out! because of royalty demands. I sure don't want to give Mike Tyson another dime...) |
