This week 3 games came out 1 WiiWare and 2 Virtual Console games which now seems pretty standard but today had one great advantage over other weeks Mega Man.  That’s right the game that Made the Blue Bomber what he is today came out today.  But we’ll talk about that last so you don’t loose interest.

WiiWare

Midnight Pool (Gameloft, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Suggestive Themes, Simulated Gambling, 800 Wii Points): Take a trip across America to make your dreams come true in a pool tournament worth millions. Visit the most colorful bars and meet seven of the coolest players on the circuit, from country music star Travis to Alison the biologist and John the sheriff. Learn the tricks of the trade through tutorials along the way, while advanced players can take on challenges to show off their trick-shot abilities. Keep things interesting with three sets of rules.

This is a prime example of a game that reduces outside contact.  But if you like Pool This game might be worth checking out. You never know this could be a good emulation of real pool.

Virtual Console

NEO TURF MASTERS (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 900 Wii Points): This is a golf game that was first released in 1996. The player picks one of six available golfers and competes on a number of golf courses around the world, including Japan (Fujiyama Oriental Golf Club), America (Grand Canyon Golf Course), Australia (Blue Lagoon Golf Course) and Germany (Baden Golf Course). The game features two modes of play. The first is Stroke Play, in which the player attempts to get the best score by playing all 18 holes. The second is Match Play, in which two players compete to see who can win more of the 18 holes. Grab a friend and get ready to hit the fairway.

some of these old school Golf games are pretty good.  The problem is you can’t tell until you try them, so if you like old school golf game go for it other wise don’t worry it’s not worth it anyway.

Mega Man (NES, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Cartoon Violence, 500 Wii Points): Join the blue bomber in his first-ever adventure as he battles the evil Dr. Wily and his robotic henchmen to restore peace to a troubled world. Mega Man is a super-robot created by the genius scientist Dr. Light. When Dr. Wily goes rogue with an army of six of his own devious robot masters, it’s up to Mega Man to put a stop to his nefarious plot by traversing a series of stages rife with enemies, traps and perilous platform challenges. At the end of each stage, conquer one of the robot masters and claim his weapon as your own, using it to your advantage in subsequent fights.

I was mad the last couple weeks because they pulled this game for Okay ports of games they already had on the Virtual Console.  Now that it’s released I find that I’m just as happy as I was when they announced they would be releasing Mega Man 9 on the WiiWare.  This is a Great game and everyone should get it so we can get more games from Capcom on the Virtual Console and WiiWare.

On Capcom Unity a post was added from the producer of Mega Man 9, Hironobu Takeshita

Greetings everyone!

Hironobu Takeshita here, producer of Mega Man 9. I’d like to take advantage of this blog format to reveal bits and pieces of Mega Man 9 information directly to fans.

I don’t need to tell you, but it’s been more than a decade since we’ve created a new installment in the original Mega Man series, and – believe me – we’ve put 10 years worth of pent up creative energy into it! Keiji Inafune, the “father” of Mega Man, is very deeply involved in this project.  Better yet, we’ve created the entire game to resemble an NES game in both the graphics and sound department!
