In a month completely devoid of retail Nintendo releases, Virtual Console updates are all we have to keep our Wiis stocked with new games. This week probably gets the overall thumbs-up, although it's another surprise-free Monday.
We discussed the entire sordid history of the Wonder Boy series a couple weeks back, and now the second game in the storied adventure franchise, Monster Lair, is available as a Turbografx-CD download for $8.
Konami's Cybernator, a robot-suits run-and-gun game, also costs $8. And so does Sega's run-and-gun game Alien Storm. Fans of Contra-style shooters are gong to be happy this week, but they're also going to be out a bunch of cash.
