It’s the final day of the Hanabi Festival 2, and Nintendo is treating us to another 3 great titles which have never before been released in Europe.
Star Parodier – Turbografx (Hanabi Festival)
Hudson Soft’s Star Soldier series gets the parody treatment in Star Parodier, a cutesy shoot ‘em up packed with classic Hudson in-jokes. Play as Bomberman, a Star Soldier fighter or even a flying PC Engine! Originally a CD-Rom release, Star Parodier is also famous for its toe-tapping soundtrack.
Digital Champ Battle Boxing – Turbografx (Hanabi Festival)
This arcade-style boxing game, previously unseen outside of Japan, features a rare first-person perspective. Take on the world’s greatest prize fighters as you perform powerful jabs, hooks and uppercuts, controlling both of your gloves independently.
Gley Lancer – SEGA MEGA DRIVE (Hanabi Festival)
Cult classic shoot ‘em up Gley Lancer comes to Virtual Console; its first release outside of Japan! When her father is captured by alien forces, young rookie pilot Lucia takes a prototype fighter on a rescue mission, engaging the enemy across space, underwater or through claustrophobic caves.
These games join the now HUGE line-up of other retro classics already available via the Wii Shopping Channel.
