Sometimes I feel alone in my dislike for most of the Wii's Virtual Console releases. Most titles are ones that I already have multiple versions of, and I feel that many of the titles are a tad bit overpriced. The only titles I've never had a problem dropping a bit of change for is the re-released TurgoGrafx-16/PC Engine titles, and recent news about upcoming TG-16 CD titles for Wii's Virtual Console has me adding points to my account in preparation.
Hudson (also co-creators of the classic console) has added the TurboGrafx-16 CD side-scrolling shooter Gate of Thunder to its Wii VC line up, and hardcore fans will remember this title as the pack-in for the glorious TurboDuo.
Super Air Zonk is also coming, and those that already have the Bonk/Zonk VC collection started should be pleased with the addition.
These TG-16 CD games will be priced at 800 Wii points ($8), and Samurai Ghost (a non-CD TG title) will be priced at 600 Wii points ($6).

This and the possibility of Neo-Geo titles are the only things that make the wii worth owning." [/i]
Said the guy with a Mii avatar.
I am pumped about Turbo Duo releases though. Rondo of Blood especially.
And they better release Garou, SNK vs Capcom, and Neo Geo Battle Colluseum for the VC. Those titles don't deserve to be stuck on the PS2, Dreamcast, and OG X-Box where they are totally underappreciated and/or underplayed.
Online vs for all three would of course be a huge plus. And the removal of all those dumb infinites from SNK VS Capcom
so 800 would be 10 dollars
and 600 would be 7.5 dollars...
its just another gimmic nintendo and microsoft do to earn an extra buck
the only console who isnt making you think youre paying less for something that you really are is sony which just tells you how much money something costs in real dollars.
Give me more of those ace games I used to play :P
