EU Wii Virtual Console: 11/09/07: One of the Greatest Games of All Time Redux

Akira_EX | November 09, 2007 | News | Wii 
It's Mario Galaxy hype week. Not wanting to be left out, Europe also got one of the greatest games of all time, just without the voicemail.

The obvious highlight this week is Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES, for 500 Wii Points.

Joining it are Power Golf for the Turbografx (600 Points), which NA got along with SMB3, and [link name=Blue's Journey]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue's_Journey[/link] for the NeoGeo (900 Points).
Thankfully, Europe didn't have to wait long to get Super Mario Bros. 3 after America got it earlier this week. This game needs no introduction. It's easily one of the best games ever made (And according to many, THE best game ever made). If you haven't ever played it, you honestly have no idea what you're missing. Shame on you!

The other two games this week aren't so hot. First up is Power Golf for the Turbografx. This is, as the title may already reveal, a golfing game. Unfortunately, Mario's already beaten poor Power Golf to the punch with his own, better golf game, NES Open Tournament Golf. Unless you want to golf with realistic characters, this one isn't recommended.

Finally we have Blue's Journey for the Neo Geo. The Neo Geo already has a fairly small library of platformers, and unfortunately, Blue's Journey is one of the worst, especially considering Magician Lord (Which is far superior) came out two weeks back. Unless you like very slow-paced, repetitive platformers, this one isn't for you.

Two bad games, be glad they're out of the way! The real pick of the week is of course the legendary Super Mario Bros. 3! Check out the reviews:

Super Mario Bros. 3 - NES - 500 Wii Points

Power Golf - Turbografx - 600 Wii Points

Blue's Journey - Neo Geo - 900 Wii Points

    SMB3 is one of the greatest games ever. Really looking forward to this.
