Virtual Console Releases For August 4

August 4, 2008 7:19 am

I’m back on time today, and Nintendo has released two new virtual console games along with one new WiiWare game. This week we get Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Master System and Splatterhouse 2 for the Sega Genesis and new to the WiiWare is Wild West Guns. Looks like Nintendo finally decided to put out some better games this week, anyone else agree?

Sonic The Hedgehog

August 4, 2008 7:10 am

Sonic The HedgehogBased on the original Sega Genesis version, Sonic The Hedgehog was re-created as the first Sonic game for the Sega Master System. Not just a straight port, this version includes new stages, bosses, some different zones and a level map. The most noticeable difference, however, is that the Chaos Emeralds have to be found within certain stages other than the Special Stages. Dash through six Zones (including special zones that were only available for the Sega Master System version) and face Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik) at the end of every Zone.

Wild West Guns

August 4, 2008 7:00 am

Draw your revolver to see if you’re the fastest gun in the West. Adjust your speed and precision as targets or enemies appear in front of you. Point and shoot to earn more points. You can aim at anything, so be sure to explore the environment for elements that will earn you more shooting points. Identify your enemies among the characters you encounter, but don’t shoot at innocent citizens. Take part in an Old West-style train attack, or challenge your skills in a variety of increasingly difficult shooting challenges in other beautiful, classic and lively Western environments. As you progress through challenges, you’ll earn medals and rewards, making for nonstop, addictive action. Play in a two-player multiplayer mode where you and your partner can combine points, or play against each other to find out who’s the fastest gun in the West.

Players: 2

Cost: 1,000
