Virtual Console

A few minutes of footage from the Wii U Virtual Console release of Tecmo Bowl is now available. Take a look at the video below.

Natsume brought a couple of GBA titles to the Wii U Virtual Console this month. The company’s next offering, Pocky & Rocky with Becky, is now confirmed for October. This release will be in both North America and Europe. Other Natsume GBA games will continue to roll out, “including the much-requested Medabots titles”.

Natsume also shared an interesting tease in its latest “State of the Farm” blog post. The publisher appears to be teasing a “surprise announcement”, though it isn’t clear if it’s Nintendo-related.

“We’re looking forward to an exciting winter with more Harvest Moon news and perhaps even a surprise announcement…”

Natsume is bringing another title to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. According to Nintendo’s website, Car Battler Joe is due out tomorrow for $6.99.

Here’s the official overview:

Nobody knows why your dad, champion car battler Jim Todoroki, suddenly abandoned the fastest and most popular sport in Galacia. There is a rumor going around that he’s riding around with the most ruthless car-battler gangs in the world. But is it just a rumor, or is there truth behind it?

Play as Joe Todoroki, in his quest to become a car battler—like his father before him. His mother says he has the talent, but hard work will be the payoff. Customize a vehicle in the Garage to enhance or diminish its performance. Sign up for jobs, missions, and even tournaments as Joe explores the dangerous highways and byways that surround his village. Other car battlers fight for money and fame, but Joe has a higher calling: to restore his family’s honor and bring his father home!

Ancient developed Car Battler Joe for the GBA, and it released in Japan through publisher Victor Interactive Software back in 2001. Natsume localized the title for North America a year later.
