VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 1/21/08

Filed under: VC Monday Madness


This week will likely look like another lackluster one, for a lot of you. With only two games available, one of which is already on the Virtual Console in other forms, the other being a sequel, we can understand your lack of enthusiasm. So, either you can be vindicated in your assumption that there isn't anything here this week for you, or you can be shocked that the games you thought weren't any good turned out to be at least decent.

Or, you can just be a nihilist.

Virtually Overlooked: Kabuki Quantum Fighter

Welcome to our weekly feature, Virtually Overlooked, wherein we talk about games that aren't on the Virtual Console yet, but should be. Call it a retro-speculative.


HAL America's Kabuki Quantum Fighter has been featured on Virtually Overlooked once before, as a game that has a similar title to Phantom Fighter. But it's too weird to let pass with just a superficial mention.

It's hard to imagine a game so enthusiastically nonsensical being overlooked, but the very lack of this game on the Virtual Console is evidence that such a situation has taken place.

Devour this Gamecube Kirby video, gain its power

We caught this trailer from the unreleased Gamecube Kirby platformer on Gamevideos, and we are agape. Stunned. We think that given the choice to release this or Kirby Air Ride, Nintendo may have chosen poorly.

Kirby is clearly using HAL's Super Smash Bros. Melee engine, and to awesome effect, as the graphics look great and the combat looks fighting-game solid. The video shows off Kirby's ability to not only copy enemy attacks, but to trade in those attacks for helper creatures. We loved the ability-combining mechanic from Kirby 64, and we're glad to see new stuff being done with Kirby's, uh, eating habits.

The world needs side-scrolling platformers, especially when they look this cool. We sincerely hope that the release of this trailer is foreshadowing a Wii release of the game. See the trailer for yourself following the post break.
