Europe and Australia VC Update: Art of Fighting, Alien Soldier, Sonic 3D, Samurai Ghost

This Virtual Console update for Europe and Australia is a bit early, but there’s nothing like the present to get a sneak peek at the bounty of retro gaming Nintendo’s sending our way. So, without further ado, let’s get to the game list and see what titles we’ll be splurging our Wii Points on this holiday season.

First up is Art of Fighting from the Neo-Geo System, going for 900 Wii Points. Soon-to-be Fatal Fury mainstays, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, make their debut on the videogaming world as two martial artists on a mission to rescue the kidnapped Yuri Sakazaki, Ryo’s sister, from the evil Mr. Big. Kick, punch and beat-the-living-crap out of your opponents in one-on-one matches that started the versus mania off to a rocketing start.

Next in the list are two titles from the Sega Mega Drive, namely Alien Soldier and Sonic 3D. Alien Soldier puts you in the shoes – or rather, taloned claws – of Epsilon Eagle, in an epic side-scrolling shoot-em-up where the stages are short and the bosses are many. Sonic 3D has the blue hedgehog being seen in another dimension, with improved graphics, a killer soundtrack and a quest to collect all the flickies you can come across. Both titles can be downloaded for 800 Wii Points each.

Last but not least is Samurai Ghost originally from the TurboGrafx. You control Tairo no Kagekiyo, a swordsman brought back to life to vanquish an encroaching demon horde once and for all. And being an undead samurai, you’ll be able to use powers such as levitation and energy manipulation to make your work a little bit easier. All you need is 600 Wii Points to get on this adventure.

Definitely a great back of titles for Wii owners in Europe. Updates as we get them!
