Nintendo has announced the complete December release schedule for Virtual Console, revealing five games that hadn't previously been unveiled. The Turbo Grafx games Alien Crush, Military Madness and R-Type will be coming to Nintendo's retro download service this month and they'll be joined by Super Castlevania 4 and Super Probotector for the SNES.
Of these, the 1991 platform adventure Super Castlevania 4 and the rock-hard shooter R-Type are the biggest names but both Super Probotector and Alien Crush are worth downloading. Super Probotector (called Contra in the US) is a brilliant side-scrolling shooter and Alien Crush is an amazingly addictive alien pinball game. Military Madness was a Turbo Grafx launch game and while the turn-based strategy game didn't sell particularly well it was critically acclaimed.
Here is the full list of retro retro games that will become available for download on every Friday throughout December. You can download these using Wii Points which can be purchased online or by using a Wii Points Card, available in the shops...
