This week on Japan's Virtual Console: Workjam's
Tantei Jinguuji Saburo: Yokohama Minato Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (
Detective Saburo Jinguuji: The Case of the Yokohama Harbor Serial Murder), the second game in what we now call the
Jake Hunter series. And nothing else. Even the US got
two Virtual Console games this week -- two
first-party Virtual Console games, at that.
Luckily,
WiiWare stepped in to make sure we don't get all smug about our downloadable games. Along with, well,
Midnight Bowling and
Saikyo Ginsei Reversi, Konami's
Gradius Rebirth, which is either a remake of
Gradius or a new game, is out. Either way, right now
cores are being
shot, and not by us. This is terrible.

NEW GRADIUS!?! Or is it just the remake that came out in various collection games in the last year or two? Hell, either way, I'd LOVE to play that on my Wii.

Current videos (from youtube and nicovideo) indicate it's a new game that implements stages/enemies/themes from previous games, a tad more than previous Gradius games.
Stage 1 is largely similar to the original Gradius stage 1, extra weapons have mutliple levels as seen in Gradius Gaiden... I hope this helps making myself clear.
