EU Wii Virtual Console:02/09/08: One Lonely, But Awesome, Lord of Thunder

Akira_EX | February 08, 2008 | News | Wii

It's Friday once again, and for the third week in a row, Europe only gets one game added to its Virtual Console. However, this one is a pretty good game.

This game is called Lords of Thunder, and it's for the TurboGrafx-16 CD. It's a sequel to Gate of Thunder, and like its predecessor, it's a shoot-em-up that is highly lauded.

Recap:

TG16: Lords of Thunder, 1 Player, 800 Points - CD Game

Keep track of the latest VC releases with the 2008 edition of What's New on VC? in the Wii Virtual Console forum.

The third (!) week in a row with just one game! You can now download Lords of Thunder, a Turbografx-CD sequel to Gate of Thunder, which is a fantastic game.

Aside from the fact that the game was listed as costing 600 points instead of the usual 800 (which has now been fixed), there's not much else to report here. Obviously it's annoying that Nintendo are only releasing single games at the moment, when the title in question is as good as Lords of Thunder you really can't complain; this is one of the finest shooters money can buy and should be snapped up with delay by all VC fans.
