One video game that has been a favorite of gamers from the last few years is Space Invaders and now it is all set to hit the Virtual Console. This week, Nintendo has put Space Invaders: The Original Game and Forgotten Worlds on the American VC. As for the WiiWare, it gets Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3 and Target Toss Pro: Bags.
Details of the games on the American VC and WiiWare:
First up, we have Space Invaders: The Original Game for the Virtual Console. The game was first released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It has the traditional gameplay but they have also added the new VS mode, where gamers can take on a friend to see who is speedier in stopping the aliens!
Then we have the Forgotten Worlds for the VC. The two-player side-scrolling shooter from Capcom debuted on the Sega Genesis. The game was known for the 360-degree aiming and shooting, in fact it was one of the pioneers in that area. Gamers have to take on fiendish aliens and free the planet while collecting Zenny and upgrading their weapons and satellite.
Next up, there is Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3 for the WiiWare. The title by Telltale Games sees gamers play as a dirty cop known as Dangeresque. They are hot on a trail of a little action as well as quite a few big sacks of cash. The game is more of a hand-crafted cinematic masterpiece.
Lastly, we have the Target Toss Pro: Bags for the WiiWare service. The game from Incredible Technologies takes inspiration from beanbag toss. Though the game is deceptively simple, it is very competitive. Gamers have to throw beanbags into a hole in a somewhat raised platform or box for points. It even has a universal party soundtrack.
All these four games are up on the Wii Shop Channel. Space Invaders: The Original Game as well as Forgotten Worlds come with a price tag of 800 Wii Points. As for the WiiWare games, Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3 is priced at 1000 Wii Points while Target Toss Pro: Bags costs 700 Wii Points.
