NA VC Update 07/30/07

Teddy_200x243.jpgMonday morning once again as I struggle to write this post. I struggle because I mangled my right index finger. I know it sounds silly but you try and type with a big fat band-aid on your finger. Anyway your guys don’t care about that you care about the new virtual console titles.

I know that in the past I’ve made jokes about the abundance of scrolling space based shooters available for the Virtual Console. Well since there have been so many I must say that I am effectively out of material. So I’ll just give it to ya straight. Star Soldier is a vertical scrolling where you fly inside a giant space station with your space ship named Caesar. No matter how you word it it still sounds like something you’ve done a billion times before.

The other game I’m going to talk about today offers something a little more unique in regards to gameplay. In Dynamite Headdy you play as Headdy a toy with a detachable head. You with me so far, Headdy must save all his toy companions in North Town from the evil Dark Demon before he turn all the puppets in North Town into his evil minions. To be honest they had me detachable head. With games like this appearing on the Genesis back in the early 90s it’s no wonder the Genesis started to pull ahead of the SNES which seemed to be over producing the same crap at the time. Anyway Headdy seems like it could be more fun than lighting a Teddy Ruxpin on fire and watching the evil bear wriggle in pain. Muahahaha! Take that you mechanical demon who plagued my nightmares as a child!

Star Soldier (NES, Rated E, 500 Wii Points)
Dynamite Headdy (Genesis, Rated E, 800 Wii Points)
Drop Off (TG-16, Rated E, 600 Wii Points)
