Hmm. I have a long rant about how the Virtual Console needs some original games alongside its retro IP, and how does Nintendo respond this week? By releasing Pac-Man. Ah well.
Still, it *is* an acknowledged classic I guess, albeit one that’s already been ported to every single gaming platform known to man. Imagine how cool it’d be if it could only be controlled by vertical and horizontal swishes of the Wiimote…
Other games up this week are SNES game ActRaiser, which blends actiony battles with goddy strategy bits, and Turbografx game Bonk’s Revenge. I repeat: Bonk’s Revenge.
The name was probably funnier when it was originally released in 1991 –*people actually used the word ‘bonk’ in a sexual context then. Well, your parents did, anyway.
