Monster World IV and two more now on American Virtual Console (there’s still a Virtual Console!?)

Edit: Updated headline, joke still works.

The long awaited Monster World IV, as well as Super Hang-On and Wonder Boy in Monster Land, are now available to download on the American WiiWare Virtual Console. Each game is 900 Wii Store points, or around $9. If you have a PS3 or XBOX 360, it might be best to wait for the upcoming compilations which will feature sharper visuals, a slicker interface and more games for your buck. Still, great to see Monster World IV finally getting a release. We were talking about it as far back as this time last year.

    WiiWare is for games designed for Wii, the Virtual Console is usually just basic ports.

    I am pumped for Monster World IV, will wait for the PSN version though. One of the trophies is titled “SEGA Games Are #1!”, sold!

      Thanks for that. Weird that they just don’t have blanket term for their downloadable market place.

      I debated downloading the VC version tonight, but I think I’ll wait. For that price I could get the XBLA collection.
