This week Nintendo has swamped the Virtual Console with five cherished oldies.

Those with a Master System fetish will like Alex Kidd in Miracle World. He's a monkey boy with big ears and is not to be confused with Alex Mack who got some chemicals on her and could dissolve into a pool of liquid. Alex Kidd costs 500 Wii Points (roughly GBP 3.50 / EUR 5).

Or you could be like Kristan and enjoy really old games in cardboard boxes. If you do, Last Ninja and Nebulus for the C64 may be up your alley. Kristan actually had a boxed copy of Last Ninja delivered the other day. These also cost 500 Wii Points (roughly GBP 3.50 / EUR 5) each.

But we think the two NeoGeo games are the best: Ninja Combat and Fatal Fury 2. We always wanted a NeoGeo and used to thumb through magazines drooling over the exotic graphics. Make your dreams come true for 900 Wii Points (roughly GBP 6.30 / EUR 9) a pop.
