It's the second week of the Hanabi festival, and the EUVC has had some pretty interesting games added to its library.
NEW+ Break In (TurboGraFX - 700 Points)
The makers of pinball classics Alien Crush and Devil’s Crush turn their hands to billiards. In the story-driven Simulation mode, play your way out of trouble when you stow aboard a cruise liner. In Action mode, hone your skills against the computer or up to three friends, and try some trick shots in Technique mode.
NEW+ Cho Aniki (TurboGraFX - 900 Points)
Cho Aniki (meaning ‘Muscle Brothers’) is a quirky Japanese side-scrolling shooter that pits a flying hero or heroine against an onslaught of unusual enemies, assisted by the musclebound siblings Samson and Adon, who would go on to star in their own sequels.
NEW+ Metal Slug (NEOGEO - 900 Points)
.NEOGEO returns to Virtual Console with this all-time run ‘n’ gun favourite! Battle through waves of comical enemy troops, on foot or behind the wheel of the titular tank, rescuing POWs as you go. Heavy on laughs and on action, Metal Slug offers the ultimate arcade-style experience
NEW+ Puyo Puyo 2 (MegaDrive - 800 Points)
The quintessential head-to-head puzzle game from Japan, Puyo Puyo 2, pits you against a human or computer opponent as you arrange falling ‘Puyo’ into like-coloured chains, to send filler blocks to scupper your rival – before they do the same to you!
\o/ The long lost NEOGEO makes an appearance, AND with Metal Slug.
The updated list of EUVC games can be found here, along with the NAVC games here, and the Japan VC games here.
