Virtual Console

It doesn’t look like Konami will be slowing down with its TurboGrafx-16 releases on the Wii U Virtual Console anytime soon. The ESRB has added in ratings for three more titles. Ninja Spirit, Victory Run, and Final Soldier have now been classified on Wii U.

Konami has been rolling out these TurboGrafx-16 games pretty regularly. We should be seeing these titles in the weeks and months ahead.

Blazing Lazers came out on the North American Wii U Virtual Console a few weeks back. This week, it’s Europe’s turn. A listing on Nintendo’s website shows that Blazing Lazers will be available in PAL regions tomorrow.

Here’s an overview:

“Blazing Lazers is a vertical-scrolling shooter that was praised for surpassing the limitations of the hardware of its time.

Players control the extraordinary firepower of their Gunhed Star Fighter to take on the Dark Squadron that has begun its invasion of Earth. Collect power-ups to increase your ship’s battle strength to cut through enemies and defeat the bosses in all nine areas.

Of course, as part of the Soldier series, the game contains a good balance of fast-paced speed with catchy drum-propelled background music. Couple that with the Field Thunder that can be used to destroy enemies in one fell swoop for the ultimate sense of satisfaction! With its finely-tuned difficulty levels, Blazing Lazers is a shooting game that anyone can enjoy!”

Blazing Lazers will cost £5.39 / €5.99.

Two more TurboGrafx-16 games are being added to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. Tomorrow, Konami will be publishing Alien Crush and Neutopia II on the eShop.

Below are overviews of both:

Alien Crush

“Alien Crush is a pinball game that features realistic pinball action and superb “biomechanical” graphics. Complete with a function to nudge the machine, this game feels like you’re playing on a real pinball machine! Extra balls and bonus points are your keys to getting high scores.”

Neutopia II

“Experience improved graphics and controls in this exciting sequel to the action RPG Neutopia. Take on the role of the main hero’s son and watch as the story begins with the apparent revival of Dirth, the evil demon. Once again you’ll need to rely on your magic compass and the information you’ve gathered to find entrances to labyrinths and defeat the bosses in them. Make your way through the field, which can be tricky at times, to search for and find hidden information and items, or move blocks and destroy walls to uncover secret rooms.”

Alien Crush and Neutopia II will be priced at $5.99 each.
