Konami to relive the MSX days on Virtual Console
Konami has been around for a very long time. Long before 3D and complex gameplay, the publisher busied itself as a prominent MSX developer. Before the Solid, Metal Gear made its home on the format, right alongside classics such as Contra and Parodius. For another round of retro, Konami’s adding 13 MSX games into Virtual Console.

Before the Solid, Metal Gear made its home on the format, right alongside classics such as Contra and Parodius. For another round of retro, Konami’s adding 13 MSX games into Virtual Console.
Specifically, they are:
- Metal Gear
- Yie-Ar Kung Fu: Counterattack of the Emperor
- Space Mambo
- Penguin Adventure
- Road Fighter
- Parodius
- Contra
- Gradius 2
- Salamander
- Quarth
- Knightmare

Konami isn’t throwing them all in there at once. They will be spread across the coming months, although a release schedule was not specified. When they do turn up, they’ll be priced at 800 Wii Points (US$ 8).
