VC Friday: Become a Pokemon Puzzle Master!
Despite their ubiquity, the majority of Pokémon games manage to maintain a high standard, even when they abandon the more traditional Pokémans formula. Pokémon Puzzle League, for example, is one of the best examples of a Pokémon game that isn't a Pokémon game, and is comfortably worth its 1000 Wii Point price tag.
A pair of Eikichi Kawasaki-designed Neo Geo titles round off the week in Europe and Australia -- Samurai Shodown is one of the Neo Geo's best fighting games, while Burning Fight is another addition to the already oversubscribed (on the VC, at least) dude-smashing genre.
- Pokémon Puzzle League -- Nintendo 64 -- 1000 Wii Points
- Samurai Shodown -- Neo Geo -- 900 Wii Points
- Burning Fight -- Neo Geo -- 900 Wii Points
VC Tuesday: Bullet Heaven
The Virtual Console is home to a lot of scrolling shooters. It seems like every week, at least one of the releases in every region is a shmup. This week, three of the four games coming out in Japan are shooters. But after years of seeing the once-prominent genre fall into obscurity, we really don't mind having a download service full of the things. For that matter, the same goes for side-scrolling brawlers, one of which is the other Japanese release this week. The VC is a great system for that genre, Renegade notwithstanding.
- Axelay (Super Famicom, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
- Super Fantasy Zone (Mega Drive, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
- Star Parodier (PC Engine, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
- Burning Fight (Neo Geo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points)
