Salamander And Japan’s Other Slim Virtual Console Pickings For December

Virtual Console releases are getting scarcer every month. Next month Wii owners in Japan can look forward to torturing themselves with Mystery of Atlantis. Sunsoft’s side-scrolling platformer is notoriously difficult even if you know the warp order to get to the last level. Koei Japan will also release the Nobunaga’s Ambition in December which is interesting since it was just rated by the ESRB in North America. Perhaps, Nobunaga’s Ambition is on track to come out in North America this December too.

Initially, Salamander, better known as Life Force in North America, caught my eye. But I recalled the TurboGrafx-16 version already came out for the Virtual Console. Since the TurboGrafx-16 release never came out as a Virtual Console import here we could see Life Force in North America soon.

 

Here’s the full list translated into English. Games marked with a star are coming out on December 2nd.

 

Famicom (500 Wii Points)
Mystery of Atlantis*
Salamander (Life Force)
