Virtual Console

Europe is catching up with a new Wii U Virtual Console game this week. Having previously been published in North America, Bonk’s Revenge will be out this week in Europe. Nintendo’s website lists it for release tomorrow.

Here’s an overview:

“The hard-headed hero is back for more in the second instalment of the Bonk series. Taking place in the Monster Kingdom, Bonk the Caveman must travel far and wide to find and defeat King Drool III.

Bonk’s™ Revenge is a side-scrolling action game in which you headbutt your enemies while you make your way to the end of each stage. Double or even triple your attack power by eating the slabs of meat that appear through the stages.

There are eight different hidden Bonus Stages, and the Dinosaur Train that appears after you defeat a boss will change depending on how many Smileys you’ve collected. With new actions available such as the Triangle Jump and the ability to climb trees, as well as seven variety-packed stages, Bonk’s™ Revenge will keep you playing again and again.”

Here’s a brief overview:

“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 so it can cut through enemies and defeat the bosses in all 9 areas. Of course, as part of the ‘Soldier’ series, the game contains a good combination of fast-paced speed with catchy, drum-propelled background music, coupled with the Field Thunder that can be used to destroy enemies in one fell swoop for the ultimate sense of satisfaction!”

Blazing Lazers will be priced at $5.99.

According to a listing on Nintendo’s website, Super Star Soldier is hitting the European Wii U Virtual Console this Thursday. The game is already available in North America having launched last month.

Here’s a trailer:

And an overview:

“Super Star Soldier is a classic vertical-scrolling shooting game. In addition to the NORMAL GAME, there are two minute and five minute Time Attack modes, and a mode where high scores can be checked. NORMAL GAME is made up of eight different stages, and in each stage (except Stage 7) a boss awaits you at the end.

The special attack squad, led by the Mother Brain, has launched an all-out invasion on Earth. Take your small-scale fighter, the Neo Caesar, with its arsenal of four regular weapons and two special weapons, and send them back where they belong!”
