Wii gets fatally furious

Wii gets fatally furious

Neo-Geo classic Fatal Fury heads the newest line-up that also includes more fighting in Streets of Rage III for the Megadrive.

There’s some cracking combat action in store for retro fans this weekend via Nintendo Wii’s online store. The first of the Neo-Geo titles has arrived in the form of 2D fighter Fatal Fury, almost as legendary as Street Fighter II with some really cool characters to choose from with hilarious moves. 900 Wii Points yer Fatal Fury.

Megadrive offerings start with Streets of Rage 3 and Golden Axe III at 800 Wii Points apiece. The former is a gang-busting romp through some neon-lit city or another. It’s okay, but not the best of the series – that would be SOR2. Similarly Golden Axe was past its sell-by date by the third instalment but still fun at this price. Two more Megadrive games are Super Thunder Blade – fly a helicopter and shoot things, if you can tell where you are and what it is you’re shooting – and the brilliant action RPG Landstalker: Treasures of King Nole. Honestly, Landstalker is still brilliant.

When is Nintendo going to sort out this horrible business of slow-running PAL games though, eh? It’s driving us mad over here. Don't think we don't know about this because we do!
