TurboGrafx-16 Games Heading To Wii U Virtual Console Tomorrow
The Wii U is getting a handful of games from a classic(?) console tomorrow.
The Wii U is host to Nintendo, Super Nintendo, DS, and Game Boy Advance games with its Virtual Console, but this is the first time it will offer TurboGrafx-16 games.
Tomorrow you will be able to download R-Type ($7.99), Bonk's Adventure ($5.99), and New Adventure Island ($5.99) for the Wii U. We recently dove into the depths of the often forotten 16-bit console's library on Replay. You can check out that episode below.
Our Take
The TurboGrafx-16 was such an odd console. I'm happy to see some of its games making its way to WIii U. Hopefully some of its stranger games, like the ones we played on Replay will see release, as well.
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.
