Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Nintendo continues its tireless crusade to make Monday suck just a little less with three new classic games on the Wii Virtual Console. Kicking things off we have Double Dribble for the NES (500 points), that first ever five on five, full-court basketball video game, which is nice. On the Super NES front we have Vegas Stakes (800 points), which is all about gambling and not about taking down a gang of vampires on the strip, which in my opinion would have made for a much better game overall. Finally we have Ecco Jr, for the Genesis (800 points), which takes the always kid-friendly Ecco the Dolphin series and makes it actually playable by children, complete with three playable characters and fun facts about dolphins, such as how intelligent and delicious they are.
Four more Sega Genesis titles have been rated by the ESRB for the Wii, giving us a look at what the publisher may have coming down the pike. First, we have the kid-friendly third entry in the Ecco the Dolphin series, Ecco Jr. Next up, the kid-unfriendly Eternal Champions, Sega’s attempt at an original, violent 2D fighter series that failed to take off.
A pair of isometric games, Sonic 3D Blast and Light Crusader have also been rated. The former is a different take on the Sonic formula, with Sonic collecting Flickies in a clunky speed crippling space. The latter is Treasure’s take on a Western-style action RPG. No dates for any of this high-quality 16-bit era gaming, but expect announcements from Sega soon.
