Prayers Answered - VC Trubo Grafx Get - Wii

8th June 2007, 1:45pm

Our prayers (read: whining a moaning) have been answered.

In response to the long held claim of mistreatment by the Australia and New Zealand Wii owning public Nintendo, in concert with Hudson Soft, is going to make available to local residents the back catalogue of Turbo Grafx games.

Known as the PC Engine in its native Japan, this Hudson developed console was home to a vast array of Arcade quality titles. With genres ranging from Shmups to RPGs to Platformers to Shmups, there is plenty of old school goodness to be had.

And it's about time.

TGFX fans (and the soon to be converted) can mark July 6th as the day of liberation in their calenders.

Bonk's Adventure and Bomberman 93 are both scheduled to make appearances and, if we're lucky, Nintendo an Hudson will pick up the speed and release multiple titles a week until we've caught up with our overseas brethren.

No more having to change our Wii's regional settings in order to get extra games for us! 

TGFX games will go for 600 Wii Points.
