EU Wii Virtual Console: 04/25/08: You Got Ninja in My Dragon

Akira_EX | 18 days 7 hours ago | News | Wii 
Europe can't decide if it wants to be hip or boring. One week, they get lots of games. The next week? Only one.. And now this week? They get three games. Stop being inconsistent.

The first game available is a Commodore 64 action-adventure game, The Last Ninja. It features an isometric perspective, and a blend of exploration, puzzle solving, and combat.


The second game up is World Games for the C64. It is similar in style to California Games and is a part of that series. World Games features sports from all around the world this time around.


Last but definitely not least is a Technos beat-em-up, Double Dragon for the NES. While a quality game, this port of the arcade version does not include simultaneous two-player co-op. Us North Americans should see this game on Monday.


Recap:
  • C64: The Last Ninja, 1 Player, 500 Points
  • C64: World Games, 1 Player, 500 Points
  • NES: Double Dragon, 1-2 Players, 500 Points

  • It seems every two weeks we get a Commodore 64 week now - No complaints from us, especially when it means that we get The Last Ninja, an excellent action platformer/puzzler hybrid featuring an agile ninja with a whole assortment of weaponry. The game was incredibly well-received in its day, being the number one selling original creation on the Commodore 64.

    Accompanying it is World Games. In a fashion similar to California Games, it features a number of sports, only this time, from around the world instead of California. The game is not too special, but can present some good fun. That's two games in the "Games" series down, three to go!

    Rounding up the pack is Double Dragon, the NES port of the popular arcade beat 'em up. This port removes the simultaneous two player co-op mode, but is otherwise a pretty faithful adaption of the original game. At 500 points it's a steal, really!

    No bad games this week! Will you get any?
