News: Master System Titles Hit VC

Europe gets Sega Master System titles, and that's not all. Click inside to see what's on offer...

The Master System hits the European Virtual Console, kicking off with platformer Wonder Boy, first released in 1987. Originally an arcade favourite, this colourful side-scroller sees players become Tom-Tom, a boy on a mission to rescue his girlfriend Tanya from an evil king. Get ready to negotiate world after world of gruesome creatures to save the green-haired heroine from the clutches of evil! This classic is a must-have for platform fans, and is available now for 500 Wii Points.

Next up is wacky shoot'em up Fantasy Zone. Again from 1987, this space adventure sees players controlling a spaceship named Opa Opa and taking on some of the strangest enemies the galaxy has ever seen! Destroy the throng of bizarre baddies, collect coins and even visit the shop to kit out Opa Opa with even more powerful weapons in this quirky classic. Download this colourful title now for 500 Wii Points.

Also out on the Virtual Console this week are two Commodore 64 classics. First released in 1984, Impossible Mission is a mix of action and puzzle-solving which sees players infiltrating the stronghold of evil genius Elvin Atombender to scupper his plans to destroy the world. The lone agent must crack secret codes and fight off enemy robots to avert Armageddon! Agents can download the game today on Virtual Console for 500 Wii Points.

And finally, even more Commodore 64 fun! California Games sees summer arrive early, giving players the chance to get 'totally tubular' with a collection of sun-soaked games. This 1987 sport-fest is sure to be fun in the sun, with a host of Californian sports for players to try their hand at, including surfing, skateboarding, BMX biking, roller skating and more! Play either solo or with up to seven friends in this awesome classic, available now for 500 Wii Points.
