TurboGrafx-16 is Now on the iPhone

From Gizmodo:

"Our friends over the pond know it as the PC Engine. Most Americans know it as that console that played Bonk. Now it's on the iPhone through emulator support. An iPhone version of the classic emulator Temper, temper4iphone looks like it's running pretty smoothly on Apple's mobile in this video. But you know the drill; jailbreak the iPhone before partaking. Too bad we'll probably never see this stuff in a formal SDK..."

Digital Champ and Star Parodier Released for EU and AUS Wii Virtual Console

    
Digital Champ Battle Boxing and Star Parodier are now available for download for EU and AUS Virtual Console patrons.

Digital Champ is a Punch-Out knockoff, but really isn't very good. Stay away.

Star Parodier is another one of the best shooters of all time. This time, Hudson is parodying it's Star Soldier franchise in this excellent cute-em-up. Play as Paro-Caesar (Star Soldier ship), Bomberman, or a flying PC Engine that shoots HuCards and CDs. Gameplay is spot on as usual (thanks again Hudson!) in this top-down shooter. Great graphics, colourful landscapes, and fantastic CD background music abound. Download this puppy or you will regret it. I promise.

The good Lord only knows what Hudson was thinking this week when it decided to release Break In (a mediocre billiards game) and Cho Aniki (words cannot describe this bizarre, homophobia inducing shooter) for the Wii Virtual Console. Nevertheless, they are both awaiting your download thanks to the Hanabi Festival.
