Posted 05 Mar 2009 at 18:32 by Nathan Whincup
A NES puzzle classic and SEGA's platforming-shooter hybrid Wonder Boy III are this week's Virtual Console offerings in Europe.
It's time for another Virtual Console update, and this week we're treated to two titles: one NES game from Nintendo themselves, and one SEGA Mega Drive threequel.
Clu Clu Land (500 Wii Points) is the puzzler which provided the basic premise for DK: King of Swing and its sequel, Jungle Climber. You must use your spinning on-screen companion to grab on to the many pegs littered about the screen in order to navigate mazes and defeat enemies.
Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair (800 Wii Points) is a platformer/scrolling shooter which sees you riding a dragon into battle to fend off the barbaric hordes who are attempting to disturb peace in your land.
As per usual, you can expect prompt reviews from resident retro reviewer Sam Gittins very soon.
