Run around with a robotic suit and blow stuff up in Cybernator! (It's the small one, not the big one!)
A lot of shooting in today's three US games! First up is Cybernator, the SNES game where you control a large robotic suit and blast your way through a multitude of stages. It's one of the more popular "lesser known" SNES games and as such is quite a cult classic.
The second game today is Monster Lair, the TurboGrafx-CD version of Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair for the arcade and Mega Drive. However, unlike every other TurboGrafx Wonder Boy game, this one keeps the Wonder Boy license intact instead of replacing characters! The only difference is the CD soundtrack. Unfortunately, while almost all Wonder Boy games are good, this is one of the lesser ones.
The last game today has been on the Coming Soon list for a <i>long</i> time - it's Alien Storm for the Genesis. In this beat 'em up you don't beat up street punks and thugs like most others - You beat up aliens!
Cybernator's a great game, and Alien Storm is also pretty good, but Monster Lair is below average. Check out the reviews:
Cybernator - SNES - 800 Wii Points
Monster Lair - TurboGrafx-CD - 800 Wii Points
Alien Storm - Genesis - 800 Wii Points

Go buy Mega Man Anniversary Collection if you want Mega Man. It's cheaper and great

If they are into releasing "cult classic" games, why not release more of them? Especially ones that are actually good...with a worldwide following. Like Earthbound.

Cybernator looks pretty sweet and I've never played it before. I might have to download that one.

Alien Storm is a great game if you have more than one person willing to play with you while Monster Lair is great for about 2 minutes and then gets ultra repetitive.

In other words: GET CYBERNATOR!.O--0o0--O

We need Super Mario RPG. Thats all I need for X-mas from the VC. Game is one of the greatest RPGs I have played, right after Skies of Arcadia, of course. Give me Mario RPG and Goldeneye 007, and I'll be happy for X-mas.

Before we jump onto our "WAH ITS NOT DA GAME I WANT NOE GOOD GAMEZ THEY SUCK CUZ I NEVA HERD OF DEM BFORE!" band wagon...
From what I've been I able to read and watch (Yes, I do ACTUAL research) Cybernator seems like the best choice out of the three. Alien Storm might be good for some people while Monster Lair should be kept away from (And it's not because it's a T-16/CD game, it's just nothing special)

So Alien Storm is finally on the Virtual Console; one of many Sega arcade conversions that came to the Genesis in its early life. Also, Konami published Assault Suit Valken in the US considering that NCS/Masaya (known for their Cho Aniki games) actually developed it.

No surprise, it's another lackluster week for the US on the VC..
Common sense would lead one to think NOA would work to release some "bigger" VC titles this month for the sake of the holidays but I suppose that's not what they have in mind.

Not a bad week, Cybernator was a underrated game.

I don't care about VC games right now, I just want the Nintendo Channel like Kenji. I want free DS demos!

Yes, it's a good week. Games you haven't heard of aren't nessecarily bad, guys.
22. RoninDennis
18 Dec 2007, 14:27 GMT
Haha, people are still whining for Final Fantasy and Goldeneye!
*takes sip of coffee*
... Whew, that was entertaining. Anyway, get Cybernator,it's the best game you never played.

I remember I used to get excited on Monday's waiting for the new releases. It's Wednesday, and I just remembered I forgot to check the virtual console releases AGAIN.
They'll never get my points until they give me good games. Bubble Bobble would be one of those games. I'm not quite sure Nintendo knows what they are doing anymore. I know there are many good games out there. Bart Simpson's Nightmare? anyone?
24. Damo
19 Dec 2007, 16:57 GMT
Wait a second.
You think Bart's Nightmare is better than Cybernator?
LOLZ

Of course it is. Because he's never played Cybernator, so it must be bad. (j/k)
It's actually a pretty decent week.

Please correct me if I'm wrong (please let me be wrong) but didn't M$ buy Rare? In which case, why would M$ ever license Golden Eye or Perfect Dark to the VC?
There are many kick ass N64 titles I'm waiting on. Micro Machines V64 being at the top of the list. That game is a world of greatness wrapped up in a cartridge. MM64 for Christmas would have been sweet.
