After last week’s lack of Virtual Console games for the second time, Nintendo is adding another 5 games today. Maybe they’re saying sorry for last week, or maybe they are going to start releasing WiiWare one week and Virtual Console games the next. We’ll get in touch with them and find out!

Anyway, here are this week’s Virtual Console additions:

Pac-Attack – Super Nintendo

Pac-Man stars in his very own puzzle game! Keep the screen clear of falling blocks and ghosts, by lining up the blocks horizontally and placing ghosts so that Pac-Man can gobble them up. As well as the main single-player game, Pac-Attack also features two-player and puzzle modes.

Super Fantasy Zone – SEGA MEGA DRIVE

Fantasy Zone, the pastel-coloured paradise, is in trouble again in this MEGA DRIVE sequel to the MASTER SYSTEM shooter (also available on Virtual Console). Take to the skies as Opa-Opa and blast the enemies with a wide, and sometimes wacky, range of power-ups: from homing missiles to a 256-ton weight!

King of the Monsters – NEOGEO

In this NEOGEO classic, six giant creatures battle it out to be crowned King of the Monsters, with cities as their arenas! Lay waste to buildings as you duke it out in one-on-one wrestling-style matches, fending off the humans’ puny attempts to stop you.

Cybernoid – Commodore 64

This hit C64 shoot ‘em up puts you at the helm of the Cybernoid space fighter, to infiltrate pirate strongholds and retrieve stolen Federation property. Supremely challenging gameplay and a memorable soundtrack round off the retro package.

Summer Games 2 – Commodore 64

Enjoy eight sizzling summer sports events across eighteen different countries in this sequel to the C64 favourite. Up to eight players can travel the world and try their hand at high jump, triple jump, javelin, rowing, horse riding, fencing, cycling and kayaking.

A nice mix this week, including lots more Commodore 64 love, which by now you should realise how much of a fan I am!
