Well, today I returned to Gamervision after a long weekend spent moving all of my stuff to my new home. I was hoping to be greeted by a nice list of promising Virtual Console releases. Instead, Nintendo took their sweet time announcing what games were coming out today. Oh, did I say “games”, as in plural? I actually meant one game. One. That’s all we get.

What the hell, Nintendo? Are you seriously telling me that with the catalogues of NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, TurboGrafx 16, and Neo-Geo at your disposal, you couldn’t find any other games to put out this week? So lame. Guess it’s another week of farming for me.

You are Bren McGuire, on a United Planets Freedom Forces mission to save the peaceful planet Katakis from the Machine, source of all that is cruel and evil in the universe. The only weapon on your side is the state-of-the-art Turrican Assault Suit.

Equipped with multiple weapons, including the incredible Freeze-beam, that temporarily immobilizes almost any enemy, the Turrican Assault Suit gives one man the power of an entire army. Use the myriad weapons and powers at your disposal to fight through 12 increasingly insane levels, free the innocent residents of the planet Katakis, and crush the oppressive Machine.

Go to the Wii Shop channel to download these games in addition to already available classics like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Gunstar Heroes, Sonic The Hedgehog, Bonk's Adventure, and Super Mario Bros.! Click here for a list of games available on Virtual Console.
