My apologies to everyone for my recent and extended absence! Things were a tad crazy. But! Versus is back and ready to tackle 2009! Now, I want you all to think back. Think back to a time when RPGs roamed the Earth and Nintendo was king over them all. That’s right, I’m talking about (as always) the NES days. The golden days of yore, to be certain! Now, squires, I want you to think of the greatest and most venerable of all the RPGs from those days…got it in your mind? Good. Let’s get started!

High Voltage Software, pehaps you’ve heard of them. They’re the group making a couple of games for Wii that have been getting some attention. The Conduit, Animales de la Muerte for example. Well today they’re putting out High Voltage Hot Rod Show for the Wii Ware and it actually looks like a fun little racer.  How good, I can’t say, but it’s giving me a good vibe.

Aksys Games is also putting out what looks like a cutesy air hockey game. Again, nothing ground breaking but it infact looks like a solid enough piece of software.

Then over for the Virtual Console there’s M.U.S.H.A., a vertical shooter game for the Sega Genesis. I honestly can’t recall this one, but it was published by Sega at the time, so it’s got that going for it.

What do you want to do? I know what you want to do. YOU WANT TO KILL DRACULA… again! Well that’s what you get to do this week on the VC because Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is here.

There’s also some solid enough looking games for the WiiWare service. Jungle Speed and Planet Pachinko. Both of which are oddball.

New year! Yaaay! Now what’s the first set of games for the WiiWare and VC services?

The first WiiWare game of the year comes from Konami. It’s called Sandy Beaches, a game in which you build sand castles and defend them from proportionally giant enemy crabs in a mode called Crab Battle (not even joking). Perhaps a little bit if Defend Your Castle thrown in for good measure.

The first VC game of the year is a nice one. Kirby’s Dream Land 3. A classic game featuring the best pink vacuum ball of all time.
