VC Tuesday: Flying, boxing, and no WiiWare
This week, Japan finally gets Super Punch-Out!! on the Virtual Console. The Wii game, for which this SNES release has served as a promotional tool in other territories, isn't out until July 23 in Japan, so Super Punch-Out!! will have to tide over the crowd of Japanese gamers hungry for cartoon violence.
Also available on the Virtual Console: cartoon violence of a different variety and an older vintage, in the form of Namco's 1985 horizontal shooter Sky Kid. And on WiiWare this week: nothing at all.
Virtual Console:
Super Punch-Out!! (Super Famicom, 800 Wii Points)
Sky Kid (Arcade, 800 Wii Points)
