Last week was a bit of a disappointment in the world of the Wii’s Virtual Console, as no games were added on the day all VC enthusiasts look forward to.

This week however, Nintendo have made up for it, releasing one of the biggest collection of games since the service began; an amazing 5 games!

Here’s this week’s new additions:

Alex Kidd in Miracle World – SEGA MASTER SYSTEM

One of SEGA’s original mascots, Alex Kidd, made his debut in this platform adventure. Jump, swim, fly and ride your motorbike to victory, as you save your world from the evil Janken and his henchmen! Success will depend on a game of “scissors, paper, stone”!

Fatal Fury 2 – NEOGEO

The sequel to SNK’s original beat ‘em up brings back Joe Higashi, and Terry and Andy Bogard, along with five all-new combatants. Bigger and better graphics, the ability to battle across two 2D planes, and new ‘desperation moves’ means Fatal Fury 2 belongs in every fighting fan’s collection.

Ninja Combat – NEOGEO

Make like a ninja as you take on hordes of enemies in this classic side-scrolling arcade action game for one or two players. Fight as Joe or Hayabusa, and other warriors that offer their services along the way, including the legendary swordsman Musashi. You’ll be needing all the help you can get to rid the city of an evil ninja clan.

The Last Ninja 2 – Commodore 64

In the sequel to the hit action-adventure, follow the evil shogun Kunitoki through time to modern-day Manhattan. Use your combat and puzzle-solving skills to make your way from Central Park to the final showdown, in this isometric 3D masterpiece.

Nebulus – Commodore 64

When eight mysterious towers suddenly appear across planet Nebulus, it falls to you to ascend each one, avoid the many perils, and activate the destruct mechanism at the summit. This innovative platformer astounded 80s gamers with its 3D-style graphics and addictive ‘just one more go’ gameplay.

Lots of Commodore 64 love this week, which really makes me smile! I can remember Nebulus from my younger days, and how impressed I was with the pseudo 3D-graphics. Let’s hope that the released come thick and fast again
