It's Virtual Console time again! This week Nintendo have given us twice the excitement....
As we all know, today is the official PAL release day for Excite Truck (which is actually a pretty decent game). But what most did not know was that it would also be the release date for Excitebike as well. How... exciting!
There are a couple other familiar titles in this weeks release, including that fat pink blob the Americans got on Monday, as well as the popular space shooter R-Type. Alas, no Kid Icarus or Ice Climbers for us yet.
Anyways, here is the breakdown for the week:
NES: 500 Points
- Excitebike™ (1 player)
- Kirby's Adventure™ (1 player)
SNES: 800 Points
- R-TYPE III™ The Third Lightning (1-2 players)
TurboGrafx: 600 Points
- New Adventure Island™ (1 player)
Pop on over to our good friends at The Virtual Console Archive for more information on how great these games are.
