Nintendo's retro festival of previously import-only gems draws to a close this week with the addition of a charming platformer and a speological adventure.

The third Hanabi Festival is coming to an end this week. After providing us with the eagerly awaited magnificence of Super Mario RPG and various other gems, including the Famicom platformer Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa, Nintendo have uploaded the retro festival's final few NTSC-only games to the Virtual Console (and then some).

First up this week is Tozai's Spelunker, originally released in 1987 for the NES. As a heroic caver, you must descend through and navigate a labrynthine network of treacherous caves. Dangers such as poisonous bats, the haunting spectre of a dead spelunker and the ever-present worry over your rapidly depleting air supply will hinder your adventure, but treasure awaits those who persevere. Spelunker is available now for 600 Wii Points.

Hudson Soft's DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure, originally exclusive to Japan and released in 1996 for the SNES, is a charming action-platformer which takes place following the dastardly kidnap of a kind fairy and the theft of the music and songs of a forest by an evil demon named Amon. Only Milon can rescue the fairy, Aeris, and restore the forest's sweet songs, and so he sets out on a quest to defeat Amon. DoReMi Fantasy is available now for 900 Wii Points.

Finally, we have Nihon Falcom's Ys Book 1 & 2, released for the TurboGrafx-16 in 1990. This RPG, praised for its wonderful orchestrated soundtrack, voice acting and astounding visuals, is a compilation of the first two games in the Ys series and should feature plenty of dungeon-crawling and grinding for hardcore fans of the genre. Ys Book 1 & 2 is available now for 800 Wii Points.

Fire up the Quattro! Also available this week is Taito's non-Hanabi 1992 Turbografx title, Chase H.Q. Assuming the role of two hard-boiled cops, you'll be spending your time in hot pursuit of filthy criminals in high speed car chases. Once you've caught up to your suspects, ram your car into the scum to neutralise the threat and apprehend your suspect. Chase H.Q. is available now for 600 Wii Points.

As always, expect reviews of these four titles from retro guru Sam Gittins in the next edition of VC Weekly.
