Natsume's Car Battler Joe For Game Boy Advance Now Available On Wii U Virtual Console
The folks behind Harvest Moon once created a car customization game, and it's now available on Virtual Console.
We never reviewed the game ourselves, but its Metacritic score sits at a respectable 77. The game tasks players as Joe to customize vehicles and explore the dangerous highways of his surrounding village. It's basically Mad Max.
You can grab it now on Wii U for $6.99.

Our Take
Car Battler Joe never quite reached that cult classic status, but I know it has its fans. In concept, it seems like a very cool game to play on a handheld.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
