Virtual Console Releases 2.18.08
No Thanks, Still Playing Harvest Moon
by Sarah
Another Monday, another two Virtual Console games from Nintendo. Hey, remember when we used to get three VC releases every week? Ah, the good old days. Today’s releases aren’t bad, but I’m still enjoying last week’s Harvest Moon too much to be thinking about what next to download. For the rest of you, here you go. I recommend Ninja Gaiden, just because I’m particular to statements that end “of DOOM!”
Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom
NES
1 Player

Join master ninja Ryu Hayabusa, last member of the famous Dragon Clan, in the third and final chapter of the legendary Ninja Gaiden saga. Ryu is framed for FBI agent Irene Lew’s murder, and it’s up to him to clear his name. Defeating superior life-forms created out of “life energy” called BIO-NOIDs and avoiding enemy ambushes are among the many obstacles which Ryu faces in this unpredictable adventure of mystery, deceit and destruction. Noticeable changes to the game-play mechanics include Ryu’s ability to grab on to horizontal surfaces, his reduced falling speed and altered jumping maneuvers, and visible power-ups. Help Ryu defeat the forces of evil once more and discover the real culprit behind Irene’s death as one of the most loved trilogies in video-game history comes to a close.

Experience the magic once again in this great sequel.

Ninja Gaiden III? Badass. Phantasy Star II? Awesome! Maybe you are a VC good luck charm, Sarah.
I'm hearing that Phantasy Star II is one of the best RPGs ever made, so I may just have to give that one a try.
Why can't they release Phantasy Star 3?
Also let's see the game people REALLY want...
COOL SPOT!
