It’s time once again for everybody’s favorite game show, ‘Find out what Nintendo updated on the Virtual Console!’. Today we have 3 lucky contestants, all of which who are being given a second chance, having fell victim to time itself many moons ago.
The first is F-Zero, a native of the Nintendo 64, and frankly not that hot of a title when it was still wrapped in cellophane. (IMHO, and yes, it’s very humble.) Next is a golden oldy that literally stole hundreds of dollars from me as a child in a big arcade, Street Fighter II, Turbo (This is the NES version.). Lastly, we are being treated to China Warrior from TurboGrafx16 and to be Frank, I’ve never heard of this silly title, but should be a blast for some.
F-Zero X
Nintendo 64
1-4 players
Rated E for Everyone
1,000 Wii Points
Choose from 30 different hover-car racers, including updated versions of the Blue Falcon and other vehicles from the original F-Zero, and get ready to play one of the fastest racers ever. You’ll speed to the finish line on tracks that twist and turn through the air, doing your best to avoid the other 29 cars on the track. If you’re in a competitive mood, try to win a Grand Prix Cup, get the fastest lap time in a Time Trial or destroy the competition in a Death Race. You can also challenge three friends in the Versus mode. With five separate play modes, hidden vehicles and courses, and an excellent soundtrack, F-Zero X still represents one of the best racing titles to date.
Street Fighter II’ Turbo: Hyper Fighting
Super NES
1-2 players
Rated T for Teen -Violence
800 Wii Points
Street Fighter II defined gaming in the 1990s by revolutionizing the fighting-game genre. Regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, Street Fighter II’ Turbo: Hyper Fighting was the third and final release in the original series. Featuring the eight original World Warriors (including Ryu, Chun Li and Guile) along with playable boss characters (Balrog, Sagat and M. Bison), this classic title offered enhanced playing speed and improved character balancing.
China Warrior
TurboGrafx16
1 player
Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older -Violence
600 Wii Points
China Warrior is a side-scrolling action game that was released around the same time as the TurboGrafx16 in Japan. It’s up to the kung fu master Wang to defeat the Dark Emperor, who stands atop the kung fu world in China. Punch, kick and jump-kick enemies along the path that lies between you and the three bosses of each stage. Skillfully fight your way through all four stages, and be sure not to miss recovery items while dodging enemy attacks. China Warrior boasts character size and detail that rivaled all other games at the time of its release. Exciting one-on-one fights against the game’s realistic bosses will make you feel like you’re in the middle of a kung fu movie.
