Wii Virtual Console Release This Week

Typically I won’t cover these, but this one is special, so here it is. This week is seeing the release of Ogre Battle. Why is this special? Well, first, it as a very rare game released back in 1995 (1993 in Japan). The reason it was rare is because Enix only released 25,000 copies here in the States. Some copies sell on the secondary market for more than 300% of their MSRP. Second, it was probably one of the best strategy games of it’s time & received a ton of critical praise. Fanboys all around have been begging for this one to get re-released. Now they have their wish. Ogre Battle (rated ‘E’ for Everyone) hits the Wii VC today for 800 Wii points. I may jump on & get it myself & post some impressions on it later this week.
