Well it's Friday and we all know what that means. Also it means another European launch for the Virtual Console. So let's take a look at the retrospective delights Nintendo will be bringing us this week.

Although I must forewarn you that we have no less than FOUR Megadrive releases. Four you say? Yes four. A bit excessive don't you think?

Streets of Rage 3


In Streets of Rage 3, crime boss Mr. X is back with a new plan to replace city officials with robotic doubles! So it’s up to the vigilantes Axel, Blaze, Skate and cybernetic newcomer Dr. Zan to rid the streets of crime for the final time.

Golden Axe 3


Golden Axe 3 completes the saga of the hit hack ‘n’ slash series. Play as three new characters, unleash new moves such as team-based attacks and spells, and restore peace to the kingdom once again.

Super Thunder Blade


Super Thunder Blade is the console-exclusive follow-up to the arcade original that sees you piloting your lone attack helicopter against waves of enemy craft across land, sea and air.

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole


Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole is a fantasy role-playing game that follows the exploits of young treasure hunter Nigel, on a quest to seek the lost fortune of a tyrannical monarch.

It's also a good thing I checked the VC otherwise I may have missed this. It was tucked away in an earlier news article.

Fatal Fury


The first NEOGEO title to launch on Virtual Console will be the critically acclaimed Fatal Fury, SNK’s oldest fighting game dating from 1991. This will be followed by two other retro fighting games from 1992; World Heroes and Art of Fighting. These will be joined by more titles in the near future.

So there you have it. Second week and work's already piling up. I have no less than FIVE games to play this week. I just hope they're all good. See you Wednesday.
