WiiWare and Virtual Console releases for this week

Nothing but shooters

This week brings us a pirate-based shooter and two Japanese imports for the Virtual Console.

Virtual Console

  • Super Fantasy Zone (1992, Sega Genesis, 900 Wii points): Super Fantasy Zone puts you in the role of Opa-Opa as you try and avenge the recent death of your father. In this shooter, you'll rack up points to upgrade your weapons and equipment.
  • Gley Lancer (1992, Sega Genesis, 900 Wii points): It's the year 2025 and you must help stop an alien uprising. In Gley Lancer you'll board a starfighter of the same name to help end the battle.

WiiWare

  • Pirates: The Key of Dreams (Oxygen Games, 1,000 Wii points): Pirates: The Key of Dreams is a nautical-themed shooter that has you searching for booty all while using the weapons of your ship to blast through your enemies and inevitably Blackbeard himself.
