If you thought Konami would be slowing down on its TurboGrafx-16 games for the Wii U Virtual Console, think again. We do know that Blazing Stars is scheduled for tomorrow in North America. Six games have now been rated by the ESRB as well.

Neutopia II, Bonk III, Air Zonk, Alien Crush, Devil’s Crush, and Soldier Blade have classifications. It’s unclear when they were added to the ESRB site, but it seems to have taken place recently. We should be seeing these games on the Wii U eShop in the months ahead.

“… we have new guidance on the Switch. We have one new game not announced and we have also Just Dance that is coming on the machines plus one or two others.”
