VC Tuesday: SRPG Tuesday

Filed under: Virtual Console, Imports

This is the week for Japanese gamers who like RPGs with long battles. Two classic, somewhat rare strategy RPG sequels are now available on the Virtual Console. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 is a quite late release in the Fire Emblem series, having been released as a download for a Super Famicom flash cartridge in 1999, when the Nintendo 64 was already out and tanking in Japan. Shining Force II was released on a plain old cartridge back in 1994, but it's interesting mostly for being a good SRPG. It's also got a better chance of being released outside of Japan, having been released in the U.S. and Europe as a cartridge.

Also there's one shooter. It's still the Virtual Console, after all. It's a good shooter, though!

Fire Emblem Thracia 776 (Super Famicom, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
Shining Force II (Mega Drive, 1 player, 700 Wii Points)
Darius Plus (PC Engine, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
