Super Mario Bros. 3, Blue's Journey, Art of Fighting and Power Golf hit the VC. Details inside...

Renowned as one of the best-selling and most-loved video games of all time, Super Mario Bros. 3 was a flagship NES title that introduced new Mario abilities (like a flying Racoon suit), eight worlds of perilous platform action, and even Bowser's bothersome kids.

Blue's Journey, the latest NEOGEO release for Virtual Console, is a cute and colourful platformer with a distinctly ecological theme. As the small yet heroic Blue, it falls to you to rid planet Raguy of the Daruma Empire that is polluting the environment and turning its inhabitants into slaves. Armed only with a leaf-whip, you must seek out shops to bestow Blue with new abilities that will help defeat the Daruma and restore Raguy to its former, greener, self.

Take on 18 holes of challenging fairway action in Turbografx sports title Power Golf, now on Virtual Console. Power Golf features three main modes: Stroke Play, Match Play and Competition, for up to three human or computer-controlled players. Size up the green, watch out for sandtraps, set the correct power and spin, and make your shot count!

Look forward to reviews of these titles in the next issue of our regular VC Weekly!
