It’s Monday again and I think Nintendo has finally got the right idea in their head, by which I mean they have released some worthy virtual console games this week. Sadly we still aren’t seeing a three game release, but none the less these two virtual console games should satisfy some. This week’s new games are: River City Ransom for the Nintendo and Phantasy Star III Generations of Doom for the Sega Genesis.
All the latest virtual console games released every Monday!
River City Ransom
April 21, 2008 7:10 am
River City Ransom takes place in River City, where our heroes, Alex and Ryan, find a letter on Ryan’s locker from a guy named Slick. The letter says that Ryan’s girlfriend, Cyndi, has been kidnapped, and Slick has taken River City hostage with the help of countless gangs and evil bosses. It’s up to our heroes to save poor Cyndi and free River City from the clutches of Slick and his underlings. You can play as Alex and take on the challenge alone or battle with two players simultaneously as Alex and Ryan. Kick and punch to fight your way through gang members, evil bosses and other goons, or use a variety of weapons including a chain whip, brass knuckles and a tire, to name a few. Raise your stats by eating right, and gain new techniques by reading books. With your fighting prowess and never-ending spirit, the bad guys won’t know what hit them.
