VC Friday: Hudson Powers Up

by JC Fletcher on Jun 26th 2009 6:15PM

This week in Europe, Hudson Soft has one release on all three Wii download services. That's a pretty impressive feat, even if the individual games don't seem that exciting. We suppose 50 sudoku puzzles for 200 points is nice, and SimEarth is a good game.

The Hudson releases are joined by Taito's Puzzle Bobble/Bust a Move update and by Altered Beast. Now, we love Altered Beast more than most people (by which we mean we love it some), but 900 points for the arcade version? What's that about?

WiiWare:

Puzzle Bobble Plus! (1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Water Warfare (1-2 players offline, 2-8 online, 800 Wii Points)

Virtual Console:

Altered Beast (Arcade, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points)
SimEarth (Turbografx-16 CD-ROM, 1 player,800 Wii Points)

DSiWare:

Sudoku 50 for Beginners (1 player, 200 DSi Points)

The Arcade version is superior to the Genesis version. I suppose if you think the Genesis Altered Beast is worth the standard 800 points, then it would make sense that the superior version would be worth a bit more.

But Altered Beast is not worth 800 points. Or even 500 points. Because it's terrible.
