Virtual Console Update

New VC titles hit today at 9 a.m. Pacific: Soldier Blade (TG-16) Dungeon Explorer (after a debugging delay last week, TG-16) Gradius (delicious, for NES) Not a great selection, but good, and it’s leaps and bounds above the infamous New Year’s VC massacre of 2007.

  1. I had Dungeon Explorer back in the day. Very fun game.When I sold my TG-16 [but kept my TG-Express] I quickly learned that the text in the game was primarily impossible to read on the small TG-Express screen. Still, very fun game.I have always wanted to play Dungeon Explorer II – but that was a Turbo CD game [I never had that attachment, and I ended up getting a Philips CD-i instead of upgrading to a Duo]. There are quite a few Turbo-CD games that I would love to see on the VC – particularly Dungeon Explorer II, Air Zonk II & Fighting Street.

  2. Has it been determined yet if you purchase a game, then delete it, do you have to re-buy it ?If so, i guess now would be a good point to learn how to use that USB hard drive as SD card hack and back up all the VC games.

  3. Anonymous – from what Nintendo said, you will be able to download it again on the same Wii. If your Wii dies, they'll apparently take care of the transfer somehow. USB hard drive as SD card hack seems a bit silly .. why not buy a 1GB SD card for $10 or so. They're often on sale with generous rebates.
