After You’re Done With SMG

Three brave games add their strength to the Wii Virtual Console this week, desperately trying to help maintain its relevance to Wii gamers in the face of today’s release of the system-defining Super Mario Galaxy. On the NES front we have Volleyball (500 points), a lovely little version of the sport from back when you didn’t need realistic breast physics to make a v-ball game. Often considered one of the greatest shooters of all time, Axelay for the SNES (800 points) brings some classic shmuppage to the table. Finally we have the ultra colorful Blue’s Journey for the NEOGEO (900 points), a side-scrolling platformer that features the insectarian Blue from the planet Raguy, who sets off to save his world from the Daruma tribe armed only with a pretty flower. When you’re done playing Galaxy…play it again. These three will still be there when you get done.
