Fantasy Zone
April 14, 2008 8:20 am
Take command of the spaceship Opa-Opa and blast your way through various fantastical levels as you try to take out all the enemy bases in each stage. Once you’ve destroyed the bases, you’ll have to beat the stage boss in order to move on to the next level. By using your guns and bombs wisely, you’ll be able to take down your enemies and explore each of the crazy environments in this side-scroller. You can also buy upgraded weapons for your ship by accessing the shop. Various Sega games through the years have referenced the Opa-Opa-now you can play the game that started it all.

Mushroom Singdom

Just got the good word that the newest Mushroom Singdom has been posted by GameJew. As usual GameJew gives his take on this week’s latest virtual console games, but this week we are treated to some new instruments, a banjo and a piano. So follow the jump and check out the latest Mushroom Singdom video!
Video Demo: Golden Axe

Is it really Thursday already? Yes, I suppose it is, which coincidentally means I must have a new virtual console video demo ready. Well, I do and this week I took a look at Golden Axe, a beat em’ up game for the Sega Genesis. From the first few levels that I’ve played the game is decent and only slightly difficult, but then again I’m quite the novice to this particular title. With that in mind, I suggest you check out this week’s virtual console video demo, just follow the jump.
Virtual Console Releases for April 7 2008
April 7, 2008 10:13 am
Sorry everyone, I totally spaced it that today was Monday and thus I forgot to update the site earlier about today’s virtual console releases. Nintendo has again released only two new virtual console games this week, the new ones are: Yoshi’s Cookie for the Nintendo and Bases Loaded for the Nintendo.

(18 votes, average: 2.72 out of 5) Loading ...Take one part puzzle game, combine with intuitive game play, add a pinch of multiplayer action and top with a layer of everyone’s favorite dinosaur. Mix together and let set for roughly 100 stages’ worth of time. If that sounds like a winning recipe to you, then step into the kitchen and get ready for a batch of fast-paced puzzle action. Hunker down to move rows and columns of randomly placed cookies in an effort to align all the cookies of the same type. Successfully assemble a row or column to make the line disappear, then move to a new one. If you’re good enough, you may even be able to make a Yoshi cookie appear! Feel like taking on a friend? Fire up the two-player mode, where you can attack your opponent while competing to match as many cookies as possible. Be careful, though—if your timing is off, you could end up attacking yourself. Who knew dinosaurs had such a weakness for puzzle games and sweets?

(10 votes, average: 2.7 out of 5) Loading ...Bases Loaded is a baseball game with an arcade feel and plenty of options from which players can choose. Select one of 12 teams, set your lineup from the 30 players available (each with different strengths), then play a single game or try to win the pennant. During game play, the screen shows two different viewpoints: one from behind home plate as you’re batting, and the other from the pitching mound in a television-style shot (unique for its time) as your team plays in the field. Strong play control and excellent graphics add to the excitement as you decide what pitch to throw (you can even try to provoke the opposing batter into charging the mound), control all positions on the field, or do your best to get a hit. So step to the plate and find out why this is one of the most popular baseball games on the NES. Can you pull through in the clutch?

Video Demo: Bravoman
April 3, 2008 1:17 pm
There isn’t much time to spare, so let’s just jump on into this week’s virtual console video demo. This week I play a TurboGrafx-16 game by the name of Bravoman, which is a beat em’ up game that isn’t too thrilling, as far as I can tell from the first few minutes of game play. The rest of the game may be a bit more fun, but you’ll have to just watch the video and choose to find out for yourself or not. So follow the jump and check out the latest virtual console video demo!

Sorry everyone, no April Fools here, unless you consider Nintendo’s consistent releasing of not-so-great virtual console games so far this year to be one big joke on us all. None the less, GameJew has put out a new singing virtual console review so check it out after the jump; I’d also suggest taking his words of advice about this week’s games.
