Looks like this week’s theme of Nintendo’s Virtual Console is Middle Ages & the 21st century. Three new games, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Galaga” and Double Dungeons will grace the VC.
Here are the details of the VC games:
- Super Ghouls and Ghosts (800 Wii Points): Launched on the Super Nintendo in 1992, the game takes players on an enchanting journey as Knight Arthur, who is on a desperate expedition to free his girlfriend Princess Prin Prin from the Ghoul realm! Sticking with tradition, gamers must fight their way through hordes of undead to reach their goal before going toe to toe with the ultimate evil.
- Galaga (500 Wii Points): Galaga, one of the most accepted classical arcade space shooting games of all time, was originally released in 1981 and became an immediate hit! Players control a spaceship and battle wave after wave of insect-like aliens swarming ahead of your ship. Different coloured aliens carry different points and gamers can only progress to the next level by eliminating the complete swarm! This collector’s classic can be played with 1 or 2 players.
- Double Dungeons (600 Wii Points): Originally released on Turbografx in 1990, Double Dungeons invites 1 or 2 players to concurrently explore their way through a staggering 22 dungeons. When played with 2 players the screen is split in half so that each player can navigate on their own side of the screen killing enemies and earning gold and experience as they go on. The gold can be used to rest at inns and buy food, whilst experience points raise the player’s level making them stronger.
Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Galaga and Double Dungeons will join the list of 59 classic titles that are already available for the Virtual Console in Europe. But we feel, Galaga is one of the best games to grace the VC till now.
