It's the last week of the Hanabi Festival today, and the updates end with 3 more previously-unreleased-in-the-EU titles.
NEW+ Star Parodier (TurboGraFX - 900 Points)
Hudson Soft’s Star Soldier series gets the parody treatment in Star Parodier, a cutesy shoot ‘em up packed with classic Hudson in-jokes. Play as Bomberman, a Star Soldier fighter or even a flying PC Engine! Originally a CD-Rom release, Star Parodier is also famous for its toe-tapping soundtrack.
NEW+ Digital Champ Boxing (TurboGraFX - 700 Points)
This arcade-style boxing game, previously unseen outside of Japan, features a rare first-person perspective. Take on the world’s greatest prize fighters as you perform powerful jabs, hooks and uppercuts, controlling both of your gloves independently.
NEW+ Grey Lancer (Mega Drive - 800 Points)
Cult classic shoot ‘em up Gley Lancer comes to Virtual Console; its first release outside of Japan! When her father is captured by alien forces, young rookie pilot Lucia takes a prototype fighter on a rescue mission, engaging the enemy across space, underwater or through claustrophobic caves.
If Digital Champ Boxing is anything like Super Punch-Out, I may have to give it a whirl.
The updated list of EUVC games can be found here, along with the NAVC games here, and the Japan VC games here.
