Virtual Console celebrates a belated Father's Day with new releases.

In the spirit of Father's Day Virtual Console has released some good old fashioned father and son games. Enjoy a round of golf, chasing an Olympic gold medal dream, or senselessly shooting and blowing up enemies. Depending on the nature of your father, you may want to do all 3.

  • NES Open Tournament Golf (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Enjoy a long and relaxing walk with Mario, stopping occasionally to batter an innocent white ball with a large club. Tournament and Match Modes sound enjoyable enough, though you'll probably want to put on a hat for Stroke Mode.
  • World Sports Competition (TurboGrafx-16, 1-5 players, 600 Wii Points): Comprised of 18 events, the Olympics competition sees the world's most skilled photographers competing to capture the first image of a legendary creature, the Olym!
  • Bloody Wolf (TurboGrafx-16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): In this top-down shooter, it's up to you to rescue the president and otherwise blow up the sort of people who make jokes like the one in the paragraph above.

    That's really good use of making money for Nintendo, everyone goes crazy buying gifts for fathers day. I think it was clever or Nintendo to do this.

    I have to agree with Quellilo on this one. They don't look like very appealing games, even to a Dad. I mean, Dads dont really play Video Games as much as us. :/

    Maybe if there would be more 1-4 player games, then it would be worth playing so the whole family could get involved.

    Although, using Fathers Day as a motivator was a clever idea indeed.
