VC Monday line-up: “Ocarina of Bio Chew Man Hazard”
You know the drill. It’s been a weekly tradition, after all. Mondays have a special meaning to Wii owners in as much as the Ghost of Gaming Past resurrects some titles onto the Virtual Console for some retro luvin’. What do we have this week? If you’ve been living under a slab of rock ala Patrick Star and haven’t seen our more recent coverage this week, then listen up. Here’s this Monday’s line-up, live at 9 a.m. PST:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64, 1 player, 1000 Wii Points)
Does this game even need an introduction? Seemingly, any attempt at trying to describe this game might fall short of its grandiosity. Some have personally awarded this title with a “teh win” game of all time. And although this title hit the VC in Japan and Australia last week, who’s griping now? Almost 10 years have passed since Ocarina was released on the N64 – bless the gaming gods for being kind.
Bio-Hazard Battle (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Don’t let the title mislead you. This isn’t in any way related to Capcom‘s zombie empire – although this Sega Genesis title does have an army of bio-genetic mutants gone haywire. For those who haven’t encountered this game before, it’s a side-scrolling space-shooter that’ll have you blasting through eight full levels of electroworms, nuclear crabs, and mega amoebas. You’ve got four Bioships to choose from, each with their own handling and weapon systems.
Chew Man Fu (TurboGrafx 16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points)
Take a side-winder from all the action and take things slow for now. Here’s a puzzler game which uniquely incorporates a bit of thinking and coordination. It’s nothing like Iron Chef, but it still has the whole “spread world peace by eating food” thing going on. The evil Chew Man Fu has put a curse on Egg Roll Dynasty, and it’s up to you to protect your dishes. Your goal is to push around some colored orbs into their respective tiles, but of course, it isn’t just that simple…
