TurboGrafx-CD games coming to Virtual Consoles worldwide

by Kyle Orland { Sep 17th 2007 at 12:18PM }

The news leaked out of Japan late last week, and now Hudson has officially announced its worldwide plans for TurboGrafx-CD games on the Wii's Virtual Console. In a press release today, Hudson announced the games will be available starting in October in Japan and "soon thereafter" in Europe, North America and Australia for 800 Wii Shop points.

The release promises over five TG-CD games in 2007 and over ten in 2008, but doesn't go into any details on which specific games will be available. Even so, we're relatively sure that Japanese shooter Cho Aniki won't be among those classics coming across the pond. It's a shame really -- if there's one thing guaranteed to shake up the American shmup market, it's a game full of homoerotic shots of shirtless, musclebound men.

Lords/Gates of Thunder plz.......this and Neo Geo games, that's pretty damn sweet. Now all we need is more room for our games....SD support!!!

Now, with a huge catalog of games, we need USB HDD support. And when the Zii is released, you only need to plug the hard drive in the new Zii and done! 100 backward compatibility.

"Also, in the Legend of Holy Protein, by "grinding" (i.e. rotating") the joystick, the player can accumulate "protein energy" which is shot as the men's beam. During accumulation, the character is defenseless as Samson and Adon twist their hip in suggestive poses. If the protein accumulation is 100%, the men's beam is shot as a powerful particle beam in a thinly disguised reference to orgasm while weak accumulation results in weak shot, another innuendo to premature ejaculation."

Three words. And they're all "ha"

Woot!

Probably not until after sales of the PSP compilation start to go limp.

Or it could be the first one. Who knows? Ask a psychic. They don't know either.

So, we can safely say Sega CD games will be popping up soon?

Original Lunar? Please?

Fernando Rocker, it's a bit of the wikipedia page for Cho Aniki.

Oops^^

Time for Nintendo to release Wii 1.5 (or GC 1.56).. now with 4gb of internal memory.

(what about that SD slot or USB port?.. never mind, buy a new Wii, else Reggie will kill your dog)
