Trio of continental treats for VC News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Nintendo has plopped three more exotic oldies on its Virtual Console for you to enjoy.
Our favourite is Gley Lancer, a scrolling shooter for the Megadrive that was given the wrong title because Japanese people struggle with the pronunciation of the English "r". Seriously. Brilliant. Costs 900 Wii Points (GBP 6.30 / EUR 9 approx)..
Star Parodier (TG16) is another scrolling shooter and, like Parodius was a parody of Gradius, is a parody of Star Soldier. Costs 900 Wii Points (GBP 6.30 / EUR 9 approx).
The other game on offer is Digital Champ Battle Boxing (TG16), which is more or less a sexier version of Punch Out. Costs 700 Wii Points (GBP 5 / EUR 7 approx).
Dan Whitehead, who hunts these down for us - and basically writes the news story - will be putting them through their paces for you. So if you're unsure of handing over the cheeky asking price, hold your horses for his thoughts.

Gley Lancer? Pass, I would put Hellfire, Zero Wing and Thunder Force IV above that.

I would like to add Aero Blasters and U.N. Squadron to the wish list above.

@Darren
It would be the XBLA if anything, but we already know it won't happen, they can't release the games unless it's a total remake, like Conker. |
