My First Virtual Console Game

So, Super Star Solder, (originally for the TurboGraphx 16) came out on the Wii Virtual Console… oh… within the past hour or so I guess. So, I decided to trade in some hard earned cash for some virtual Wii points, which I then trade in for the rights to download the game. Wait… so… what’s the point of Wii points? Why can’t they just say the game costs $6? It can’t be that hard to convert prices for regions. ANYwho, after a glitch in the system (or a remote-o, or whatever a typo would be considered with the remote), I purchased my Wii points and just as quickly gave them back to download Super Star Soldier. I have played a solid 5 minutes of it, and can say I’m quite happy with my $6. Not quite as cheap as the BK games, and not quite the same graphics, but I’m a huge fan of the scrolling games. Now I won’t be stuck playing RaidenX anymore.
