EU Wii Virtual Console: 12/07/07: Rolling Your Thunders and Lighting Your Crusaders

Akira_EX | December 07, 2007 | News | Wii 
With the NA releases of Sin & Punishment and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels on the Virtual Console, paying attention to which games get VC releases in both Japan and Europe get much more important, as these games are then ready to be used on the VC, and sport the possibility of crossing the ocean.

This week is the monthly Sega Week in Europe, and Sega releases two games, and a third game shows up with a NEW! tag that was apparently delayed.

The three games are:
  • Rolling Thunder 2 for the Genesis, which Japan got a couple days ago
  • Light Crusader for the Genesis
  • Cybernator for the SNES
  • Breaking the norm again this month, Sega only releases two games instead of the usual three. No matter though when both of them are great! Rolling Thunder 2's one of Dazza's favourites. It borrows some elements from Shinobi and combined it with arcade action, as there's enemies coming at you from all sides. While somewhat short, the game just oozes quality every step you take, with great music, graphics and gameplay.

    The other Mega Drive offering is Light Crusader, an isometric Action RPG which is somewhat similar to Landstalker. Don't ignore it - It's a Treasure game! If you've played games like Gunstar Heroes, Sin & Punishment and Alien Soldier you know they rock, and this game is no exception, despite being slightly less good than their other games. Check it out!

    The non-Mega Drive offering today strangely popped up without a "NEW" marker in the Wii Shop (And it's listed under some older games - We'd like to think this is the "delayed" game from a few weeks back), which is a darn shame, as it needs attention - It's Cybernator for the SNES, a fast-paced action platformer where you play as a big robotic suit and blast the heck out of everything. The opposite of Rolling Thunder 2, this is one of Damo's favourites.

    That's three great games today. If you're not afraid to spend points on games you've never played (I'm pointing at you, people who call this week bad!) then this week could get expensive! Check out the reviews:

    Rolling Thunder 2 - Mega Drive - 800 Wii Points

    Light Crusader - Mega Drive - 800 Wii Points

    Cybernator - SNES - 800 Wii Points

    NOTE: Cybernator has now gotten a "NEW" marker and has been put with the other two new games in the Wii Shop.
