VC Monday Madness: Beyond Oasis, SPLATTERHOUSE [update 1]
Without any kind of press release, we've been left in the dark for hours, waiting to see what Virtual Console games are available for download. Now that it is past the usual time games are available, we decided to hop on and check what's there for download. What we found surprised us, as two excellent titles are available in download, confirming previous rumors they would emerge on the service. Here's what is on your plate today: Beyond Oasis - Sega Genesis - 1 player - 800 Wii Points SPLATTERHOUSE - TurboGraphix16 - 1 player - 600 Wii Points Excitebike - NES - 1 player - 500 Wii Points So, will you be downloading either of these games? As usual, be sure to stop back later for our impressions.[Update: Nintendo sent word that Excitebike is also available. It was not live the time we checked.][Thanks, VidGuy!]
Vectorman of Vermillion: Spinball Oasis for Virtual Console
In the grand tradition of Xbox Live Arcade having one title announced, here comes the competition with four announcements in one. The Wii's Virtual Console will be seeing four games from Sega sometime soon and while they're not all winners, there is some good news.The good news is that the tragically under-appreciated Beyond Oasis will be making its way to the Virtual Console. The bad news is so is Sonic Spinball, Sword of Vermillion and Vectorman. Unless of course you enjoy them. In that case, congratulations! At 800 points each ($8.00), they're all somewhat of a hard sell, but Beyond Oasis is certainly worth a download if you never got a chance to play it before. Others like Vectorman, on the other hand, are proof that nostalgia can be quite the mistress.Coincidentally, all of these titles have been available on GameTap for quite some time.%Gallery-1764%
