Detana!! Twinbee and Bomberman '94 out for North American Wii VIrtual Console

While everyone waits for killer Japanese titles like Dracula X, Hudson has released two not quite as great, but still good, games for the TurboGrafx-16 Virtual Console. They are both good games in their own right, but Bomberman '93 is already out, and a handful of way better shooters than Twinbee are already available.

Still, it's great to see Hudson finally releasing some more TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine games on the ol' Wii Virtual Console.

Interview with Hudson's Takahashi Meijin

There is a great interview with Hudson's marketing man Takahashi Meijin posted at WiiWare World. The famed inspiration for Master Higgins (of Adventure Island fame) lists his favourite PC Engine games as R-Type and Blazing Lazers (Gunhed). Great choices!

"My favourite PC Engine (TurboGrafx) shooters are Gunhed (Blazing Lazers) and R-TYPE. Current STGs feature “How to escape from bullets”, not to shoot as many and fast as possible like before. Therefore, I don’t play the current STGs anymore."

The man who can hit a controller button 16 times a second is discussing Hudson's latest WiiWare release, Adventure Island: The Beginning in this interview.

Takahashi also commented on the success of the PC Engine/TurboGrafx Virtual Console...

"We knew that TurboGrafx had core fans. But Virtual Console generates more sales than we expected. We are very happy about it."
