Virtual Console Monday – Cybernator, Alien Storm, and Monster Lair

I was disappointed to see that Cybernator didn’t have digitized graphics of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Cybernator – SNES – 800 Wii Points
It is the near future. Resources are dwindling, and the major powers of the world are in dispute over territory. Pilot the Cybernator G5-E for the 95th brigade of the mechanized marines and throw yourself into the war.
Alien Storm – Genesis – 800 Wii Points
Shape-shifting aliens have infiltrated the city, creating chaos and panic! Fortunately, a trio of heroes called the Alien Busters has agreed to wipe out the invading creatures.
Monster Lair – TG16 CD-ROM – 800 Wii Points
Join young Adam and Laura as they embark on a fantastic adventure in this comical action/shooting game. Featuring beautiful music brought to life by the power of the CD-ROM, the game consists of 14 rounds packed with cute monster enemies. [Also known as Wonder Boy III.]
What getteth thee?

Cybernator is one of my favorite shmups, so it’s a must-get. Monster Lair may also be gotten.

I dunno… Cybernator looks pretty cool, but the others are definitely “meh” material.
Somehow I was expecting a bigger release as we approach Christmas – with only one week to go, maybe Christmas Eve will hold a juicy Virtual Console present? (*crosses fingers and prays for Chrono Trigger*)

Nope, No, and Nah

But with Square-Enix on it’s “We’ll just remake it and charge it 30.00″ leash on that game; I seriously doubt it.

You’re right, Atlantis1982 – Chrono Trigger is probably a pipe dream… but what better time to dream than Christmas?
There are still many big NES/SNES/N64/Genesys titles that could be released. I’m really just hoping for a week where all three VC games are worth downloading, instead of having two “niche” titles.

I don’t remember this game at all during the SNES era … reminds me of Transbot for the Sega Master System.

Monster lair is a definite get for me. It’s the best version of WB3.
….But I’ll have to wait until it’s released in Oz first.
