We've already discussed how much of a holy mess the Wonder Boy series is, and today European and Australian folk will be able to sample a small part of the jumbled franchise, with the release of Monster Lair, as it appeared on the Turbografx-16 (a Sega Mega Drive version appeared a year later, though only in Europe).
Whereas Monster Lair is perhaps the highlight of this last VC update before Christmas, this blogger will admit to having fond recollections of the fighting sequences in NES ice hockey title Blades of Steel, while those of you with an "Extreme!!!" bent may wish to throw 500 Wii points in the direction of Skate or Die!
- Skate or Die! -- NES -- 500 Wii points
- Blades of Steel -- NES -- 500 Wii points
- Monster Lair -- Turbografx -- 800 Wii points

Yes! That can only mean that Blades of Steel will soon be coming to America. Hallelujah! Been waiting a long time on that one.

I have been saying since the gifting service was announced that I would like to give the gift of Wonder Boy (in Monster World however) and I would love to recieve/buy Monster Lair. Unfortunately, I'm one of the people to stubborn to delete games from my system to make room for more. This has kept me out of the Wii Shop channel and away from the gifting service as well. sad face.

Blades of Steel is so much better than the current Ice Hockey.
