Commodore 64 Games Hit European VC
« on: March 27, 2008, 06:03:27 PM »
International Karate and Uridium lead in the C64 charge, while the N64's Cruisn’ USA is also released today in Europe.
 http://nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=15634

 This week’s European Virtual Console games contain the release of the previously announced Commodore 64 games, International Karate and Uridium at 500 Wii Points each. Also hitting the virtual realm is the Nintendo 64 racing game, Crusin’ USA, at 1000 Wii Points. Since the Commodore 64 was a personal computer, the games for it often used keyboards. VC Reviews notes that whenever such a time arises, the Wii’s on-screen keyboard pops up and lets you input whatever you need.    


International Karate is a one-on-one fighting game that uses an interesting control scheme because of the Commodore 64’s one-button joystick in which moves are done by moving the control stick around.    


Uridium is part of the usual Virtual Console fare of shoot-‘em-ups. However, the game is quite legendary amongst the system’s fans and brings an atypical setup where your movement is not forced and you can scroll through the game’s levels.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

CROOOOOOOOOOOZIN!!!! Cruisin' USA YEAAH!!!!

What an awesome/awful game. 

I played the mostly superior Atari 800 versions of games growing up, but I wouldn't mind getting C64 versions over here on VC.  Though M.U.L.E. just isn't the same without 4 players.
