Capcom Arcade Classics Heading To Wii Virtual Console
They've already become available on your iPhone, but this winter you'll also be able to play Capcom's arcade classics on your Wii. Six titles will be freed of their cabinet walls for your Virtual Console enjoyment.
Here are the games you'll be able to play:
- 1942 – A top-down shooter featuring WWII era fighter planes. Expect to shoot and be shot a lot.
- Black Tiger – A powerful barbarian destroys all manner of massive evil in this sidescrolling action game.
- Commando: Wolf of the Battlefield – Remember Super Joe from Bionic Commando? This is him in a top-down shooter.
- Exed Exes – Don't let the silly name fool you, this is another Capcom shooter.
- Ghosts 'n Goblins – Arthur is a bad ass even in his boxers. This is the arcade version of the tough-as-nails platformer.
- SonSon – Play as a fun little monkey in this old school arcade game. If this still took quarters, you'd be broke.
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.
