The original arcade version of <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaxxon">Zaxxon</a></em> is available on Virtual Console this week! Trust us: this is very exciting if you're old. However, as we like to do when this sort of thing pops up, we're offering this public service announcement: if you have either the PS2 <em>Sega Genesis Collection</em> disc or <em><a href="http://joystiq.com/tag/sonics-ultimate-genesis-collection">Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection</a></em>, you already have this game!<br />
<br />
Check out all the WiiWare, Virtual Console, and DSiWare offerings after the break.<br />

<div align="left">This week's Xbox Live Arcade lineup is <em>Madness</em> -- <em>Madness</em>, we tell you! Well, okay, so it includes Hudson's revival of the TurboGrafx-16 classic <em>Military Madness</em>, but also two other releases. Still: <em>Madness!</em> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/m/militarymadnessnectaris/"><em>Military Madness: Nectaris</em></a> takes the hex-map strategy game into the era of polygons and -- better yet -- four-person online play. It's going to run 800<img border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif" alt="" /> ($10), which is considerably less than a used TG-16, a TurboChip (remember those? If so, you're old) and the original game will cost you on eBay.<br /><br />Another classic strikes back in the form of <em>Bust-A-Move Live</em>, the latest retooling of the bubble-shooting puzzle game that's appeared on every system dating back to the abacus. Did you know it's a spin-off of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/bubble-bobble-neo"><em>Bubble Bobble Neo</em></a> from two weeks back? Well, it is. It's also 800<img border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif" alt="" /> ($10).<br /><br />Rounding out the bunch -- and making us thankful that every XBLA game has a trial version -- is <a href="http://www.xbox.com/games/f/footballgeniusxbla/"><em>Football Genius</em></a>, a football trivia game about <em>that </em>kinda football; otherwise known as "soccer" up in here. We'd give the 800<img border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif" alt="" /> ($10) release a shot ... if our <em>goal </em>was to be bored. (We love you, soccer/footie fans, but c'mon, seriously?)<br /></div>

The moon-based military action, which is actually an update of TurboGrafx-16's <span style="font-style: italic;">Military Madness </span>from 1989, allows up to four players to battle on 10 maps. The single-player campaign includes 32 levels and is "essentially a remake" of the original game, with updated AI and graphicalz.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Military Madness: Nectaris</span> has no need for such highfalutin concepts like an "economic system." No sir, this game is about tactics and "decisive military action." For way more detail about <em>Nectaris</em>, check out the full piece by the game's designer, Kyle Tunison of Backbone Entertainment, over at the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/08/04/military-madness-nectaris-coming-to-psn/">PlayStation Blog</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/05/squeezing-some-details-from-military-madness-nectaris/">Squeezing some details from Military Madness: Nectaris</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:00:00 EST.
