Super Fantasy Zone is the last game in the Fantasy Zone series. It is quite similar to the original Fantasy Zone, which is also on VC, meaning you can fly both left and right, unlike most shoot 'em ups, there's a shop to buy upgrades, and, of course, the game is full of colourful graphics once again (This time of course even better because it's a 16-bit system). Strangely enough, the game was released in Europe originally, but the US never got it, so it'll run you 900 Wii Points instead of the usual 800 for a Genesis game.

The other import shooter today is fairly famous - Gley Lancer not only has a strange title (Which is obviously meant to be Grey Lancer) but is one of the most sought-after Mega Drive/Genesis games in existance, being released only in Japan and being very rare. It can reach high prices on eBay, but now you can download it for just 900 Wii Points. It is a relatively normal shooter, but it has a few unique traits which make it highly enjoyable to play.

Pirates: The Key of Dreams (Oxygen Games, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone—Mild Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): Pirates: The Key of Dreams is a frantic nautical shoot-’em-up. Sail your way across the Caribbean, cannons blazing, looting booty, running blockades and ultimately battling Blackbeard himself. The player takes control of a navy captain sent deep undercover as a ruthless pirate in order to seek out and retrieve the Key of Dreams, a valuable and dangerous cursed artifact. Rescue castaways to bolster your ship’s crew, gaining performance increases to your navigation, weaponry, structural integrity and cartography skills. Collect increasingly powerful weaponry including rockets, mines, chain shot, saw blades and a flamethrower to hurl destruction into the path of your enemies. Play against three of your scurvy friends or A.I. opponents in pitched multiplayer battles over 35 levels, set in seven themed environments. Choose from different ship types that reflect your play style. Play in turbo mode if you're pirate enough.

First up is Taito’s arcade classic Chase HQ, represented here by the TG-16/PC Engine conversion. Sadly, this isn’t a brilliant port of the coin-op original and even hardcore fans of the game are likely to be bitterly disappointed.

Sadly, SNK’s Art of Fighting 2 isn’t much better. It’s a definite improvement over the previous game in the series and showcases some gorgeous graphics, but it simply can’t hold a candle to the likes of Street Fighter 2 and is therefore only really recommended for hardcore fighting fans.

Virtual Console

Sonic The Hedgehog™ (Sega Master System, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Based on the original Sega Genesis version, Sonic The Hedgehog was re-created as the first Sonic game for the Sega Master System. Not just a straight port, this version includes new stages, bosses, some different zones and a level map. The most noticeable difference, however, is that the Chaos Emeralds have to be found within certain stages other than the Special Stages. Dash through six Zones (including special zones that were only available for the Sega Master System version) and face Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik) at the end of every Zone.

SPLATTERHOUSE™ 2 (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated M for Mature—Blood and Gore, Violence, 800 Wii Points): SPLATTERHOUSE 2 is the sequel to SPLATTERHOUSE, released only on the Sega Genesis. A few months after escaping from the first mansion in SPLATTERHOUSE, the main character, Rick, once again encounters the Terror Mask and must use its powers to rescue his beloved Jennifer. Rick will need to punch, slash, smash and even chainsaw his way through a haunted mansion against unspeakable horrors and terrifying bosses to make it out alive.
