New US Virtual Console Games

Filed in archive Wii on January 15, 2007

Three new games have been added to the North American Virtual Console roster this Monday morning. This week we have another helping of shooters, Xevious and R-Type III, along with a racing game for the TG-16 called Moto Roader. Again, nothing that demands your Wii Points, but at the very least I'm sure some people are excited about R-Type III.

New US Virtual Console Games


Xevious (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): A pretty standard vertically scrolling shooter that was one of the first games to feature two "layers" of attack: air and ground. Review from The Virtual Console Archive

R-Type III: The Third Lightning (Super NES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): A side-scrolling space shooter where you pilot a craft through strange environments blasting the enemy at every turn. R-Type was a graphical powerhouse in its day, showcasing the SNES system's Mode 7 capability to rotate and zoom sprites with relative ease. Review from The Virtual Console Archive

Moto Roader (TurboGrafx16, 1-5 players, 600 Wii Points): A simple racing game set in the future and supporting up to five players. Use cash you earn to upgrade your vehicle. Review from The Virtual Console Archive
