Virtual Console Games
The other day my three-year-old was looking through Nintendo Power and noticed Sonic the Hedgehog. The magazine was published in early 2008, so it was about his new adventure. My nephew had received a Sonic game at Christmas and my daughter really seemed to like it. So after her interest in Sonic renewed by the magazine, I decided to spend some Wii points on a Sonic game.
I chose Sonic the Hedgehog 3 because I thought that I hadn’t played it before. We owned Sonic the Hedgehog but wasn’t sure about the sequels. Once it downloaded, I played it for a few minutes and then realized that I had played it before. This isn’t the first Virtual Console game that I’ve bought only to realize that I have played it before.
It is fun to play them again but it would have been been nice to play a game that is new to me. Of course as far as the Sonic game goes, I had really downloaded it for my daughter. So I’m really not that upset that I have played if before.
It shows me that I have played many more video games than I can remember. It also reminds me that I need to stick to WiiWare games if I’m looking for a new game. I have been tempted to download Streets of Rage since we loved it for the Sega. Since there are sequels, I was thinking of downloading one we haven’t played - or at least I don’t remember playing until I start playing level one.
There are plenty of Virtual Console games that I know I haven’t played since I’ve never heard of some of the titles. Still it’s a leap of faith to buy a game that you know very little about. It could be good but it could also be worthless.
So what Virtual Console games would you recommend?
