Wii-kly Virtual Console Update: 7/23/07
Good Monday, GayGamers, it's time to roll out today's Virtual Console titles! This week we have quite a mix with Kirby’s Dream Course (800 points), Devil’s Crush (600 points) and Shining Force (800 points). So, a golf game, a pinball game and a strategy RPG. Sounds like good summer fun to me! Any of these sound vaguely intriguing to you?
Kirby’s Dream Course™ (Super NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Step up to the tee for the wackiest golf game of your life. This one- or two-player game features a floating golf course in the sky. High above Dream Land, players can pitch and putt the ever-popular puff ball, Kirby, through a maze of three-dimensional obstacles on a zany checkerboard course. Players must aim for the multitude of enemies that are spread throughout each fairway. Kirby must hit all the enemies to make them disappear, and the last one becomes the hole. Sink Kirby into the hole to advance to the next stage and clear all 8 courses – 64 holes in all.
Devil’s Crush (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone – Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, 600 Wii Points): Devil’s Crush is the exciting sequel to the hit pinball game Alien Crush and features even smoother ball movement and enhanced special effects. Shoot the ball onto the board with the Devil Shooter, then use flippers and nudging to keep it in play and rack up a high score. Complete certain conditions to play up to six different bonus stages. Get a “Perfect Clear” on those to earn a huge amount of points. The game’s ominous theme is enhanced by its enemies: wandering skeleton knights, sorcerers and even a giant face that changes from a goddess to a sinister serpent.
Shining Force™ (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): In ages long forgotten, Light fought Darkness for control of the world. Finally, the Ancients defeated the evil ruler of the dark forces known as Dark Dragon and cast him into another dimension, though he vowed to return in 1,000 years. As time passed, all memory of Dark Dragon was buried, and the land of Rune enjoyed 10 centuries of peace. Yet, as promised, the dark ruler returned, along with hordes of evil creatures that ravaged the land. As chaos erupted, several strongholds of Good still held out, awaiting a hero who could wield the Powers of Light.

Sweet, I love Kirby's Dream Course. One of the few sport games I am good at. Pretty fun plaing two player on that, since you can mess up and steal powers from the other player.
Though like all Kirby games, does have some overly simple parts to it. The boss fights are usually pretty easy. However, the true test of the game lies in trying to get the lowest score on each course. My lowest for the first set of eight was 11.

I think this is the first week on the VC where each title is worth purchasing and none of them are Nintendo first-party games. Awesome!
I totally missed out on this particular Kirby game, so I might give that a shot.
But the one that sticks out to me is Shining Force! Hell yeah!! I loved that game. I hope they release Shining Force 2 before too long as well!
I strongly hope that everyone downloads Shining Force. The Shining Force series (before it got ruined on PS2) is to me the pinnicle of tactical RPGs, even besting newer franchises like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea. There are no custom characters, but that is because every character is integral to the story and has a genuine reason to fight with you. I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for Shining Force 1 and 2, I would not have gotten as invovled in to videogames as I am today.
