 WII-KLY UPDATE: ONE NEW CLASSIC GAME ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL    


March 3, 2008
   


March is roaring in like a lion on the Virtual Console™. This might be a good time to look back at the massive catalog of classic games and ask yourself if you've played them all. Well, have you? You know there are some unplayed gems in there that your friends keep raving about, like this week's release, Super Turrican. Not to mention the games you haven't played since you were 10. Go ahead and fire them up – you'll feel like a kid again. Just think of the Virtual Console as your own personal fountain of youth.    


Nintendo adds new games to the Wii™ Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new game is:    


Super Turrican: (Super NES®, 1 player, Rated E 10+ for Everyone 10 and Older – Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): You are Bren McGuire, on a United Planets Freedom Forces mission to save the peaceful planet Katakis from the Machine, source of all that is cruel and evil in the universe. The only weapon on your side is the state-of-the-art Turrican Assault Suit. Equipped with multiple weapons, including the incredible Freeze-Beam that temporarily immobilizes almost any enemy, the Turrican Assault Suit gives one man the power of an entire army. Use the myriad weapons and powers at your disposal to fight through 12 increasingly insane levels, free the innocent residents of the planet Katakis and crush the oppressive Machine.

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.

I've never heard of this game before, but the users on Kotaku think highly of it.  Someone at NWR get to reviewing it!  (Please.)
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I have heard of this game but never played it. I have heard the game is good especially the music and it does sound damn good but the gameplay can get tedious. Recommend looking at it on youtube.

It looks like a cross between metroid and contra.
If you add any of my WiiC or any FC please PM me.

I like it so far.  Jon Lindemann is writing the recommendation... eventually...

I think it's weird. Weapons, controls, jumping, etc. Weird. Lindermayn may have more insight.
