Well dammit, Nintendo didn't make with the press release this morning, and I was running too late to check myself, so this week's VC update is brought to you by BB over at 1P Start. Perhaps they decided there was nothing special enough being released this week to actually warrant a press release, seeing as all we are getting is Splatterhouse for the TurboGrafx 16 (600 Points) and Beyond Oasis for the Genesis (800 Points).
Splatterhouse isn't too bad, really. Some would call it the precursor to modern day survival horror. You play Rick Taylor, a parapsychology student who, like so many other beat-em up stars, finds his girlfriend kidnapped by evil. Rick is killed, only to be resurrected by the Terror Mask as Jason Voorhees.
Beyond Oasis is an action RPG I have never played and only barely heard of, but it features music by ActRaiser and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin composer Yuzo Koshiro, so it could possibly be worth the 800 points. Anyone out there play this one?
I hope this no press release thing isn't a trend, because if I have to turn on my Wii every Monday morning the ensuing distraction and lateness won't bode well for my day job.
(EDIT) - Apparently Excite Bike snuck up on there when no one was looking, increasing the quality of this week's VC releases 100%.
