    Nintendo end the Hanabi Festival with a bang in this weeks update, including DoReMi Fantasy and a Turbografx classic, Ys Book I & II.


    DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure is a unique platformer where you play as you play as Milon from Milon's Secret Castle (a game that hasn't yet been released on Virtual Console). Featuring some very good graphics, unique gameplay and great music, this one would set you back 900 Wii points.

    Spelunker is a Cave-exploring game, that requires you to collect a variety of items to gradually work your way down a mine to find treasure. 600 points for this one.

    Chase HQ is a Turbographx port of an old Arcade game from Taito. You play as a cop who has to arrest a variety of criminals by catching up to them in his car. 600 points is the cost requirement for this one also.

    And finally, another Turbographx game in the form of Ys Book I & II. A landmark for gaming in its time, although never before released in Europe, this extensive Role-Playing title consists of two games in one, both with fully translated text, Voice acting and a CD-Quality Soundtrack. All for a measly 800 Wii points.


    Will you be picking any of these titles up? Have your say below.

    I loved Chase HQ, that might be the only one I get. I need to look into how good the PC Engine version is. The arcade was awesome fun, I played it a lot growing up.

    I'm Already playing Ys 1 and 2 on Emu. DoReMi Fantasy is a cool little platformer.

    There's a mistake there. Ys I & II was originally released in the US in English, and this is the version we get today, so yes, it WAS originally released outside Japan.

    Is Ys worth getting?
    I find your lack of faith disturbing!

    Why the hell are they still releasing VC titles at a trickle of three a week? If I ran Nintendo, this would be the first thing to change.
