To celebrate the New Year, Nintendo has released three more titles onto the Virtual Console. You can now download a new Nintendo Entertainment System title, a new Sega Genesis title and a new NeoGeo title. The titles Nintendo released were:
Bubble Bobble (NES, 500 points) Bubble Bobble was originally released in 1986 and introduced the two bubble dragons, Bub and Bob. You defeat your enemies by trapping them in bubbles and then popping them. Throughout the game you will go through 100 rounds which also contains secret elements such as not being able to get the "true ending" in single player mode. Each round even has different air currents that are not visible, so bubbles rise in unpredictable patterns.
Light Crusader (Sega Genesis, 800 points) Each day more good townspeople of Green Row have been mysteriously disappearing, and beleaguered King Weeden summons the knight Sir David to investigate. Armed with his wits and his sword, Sir David must find the cause of this strange evil and save the citizens of Green Row before things get any worse. Take the role of the brave knight in this action RPG and get to the bottm of the mysteriesr of Green Row as you fight enemies, solve puzzles, and use your best combination of brains and brawn to save the kingdom.
Top Hunter (NeoGeo, 900 points) Take on the role of either Roddy or Cathy, bounty hunters, in this side-scrolling action game set far in the future when humans have colonized space. But all is not well - space pirates called the Klaptons are making their way through the galaxies, wiping out peaceful settlements along their path. This disgraceful behavior leads to them having a price on their heads, so now Roddy and Cathy must travel through four distinct worlds on a mission to defeat their leader, Captain Klapton. Both characters have retractable arms - used to grab enemies or other objects in the scenery - that can then be thrown at others to destroy them. Also, be on the lookout for rings or levers to pull, as this might reveal special bonuses. Further adding to the mix, the game uses a unique system where the action happens on two planes, with the player switching between them at will. Can you prove yourself worthy of the Top Hunter name and help save the universe?
