It’s another import week on Nintendo’s Virtual Console; today’s update features two 16-bit era games from the Land of the Rising Sun.
First up is the action game DoReMi Fantasy: Milon’s DokiDoki Adventures for the SNES (or Super Famicom). As its name suggests, DoReMi Fantasy has a cutesy musical theme, complete with lost songs and legendary instruments.
The other half of today’s update is a Sega Genesis (or Megadrive) puzzler, Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu. This is your typical line-up-the-falling-blocks-to-clear-the-screen puzzle game, but is supposedly supported by "an intriguing backstory." Hmmm.
From the official press release:
DoReMi Fantasy: Milon’s DokiDoki Adventure (Super NES®, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone – Alcohol Reference and Comic Mischief, 900 Wii Points): This is an action game where an energetic boy named Milon sets off on a great adventure in a cute fairy-tale world. Piccolo is a village in the country of Fantasia. One day, they hear from the fairy Alis that songs and music have disappeared from the forest. Suddenly, the wizard Amon appears, grabs Alis and vanishes with her. The brave Milon must now go on a journey to rescue his kidnapped friend, with his bubble shooter as his only weapon. Along the way, he’ll need to retrieve five legendary instruments and stars by defeating Amon’s minions. Get ready to enjoy the fun and comical action of this charming game.
Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 900 Wii Points): The object of this head-to-head puzzle game is to clear your grid of falling patterns called puyos by forming chains of four or more same-colored puyos in a straight line or one of several geometric patterns. What makes this a challenging two-player contest is the fact that when you clear a chain of puyos from your grid, it drops a random piece of filler onto your opponent’s grid. The more puyos you clear, the more you fill your opponent’s grid, and if you can clutter up his grid enough to fill it to the top, you’ve won the game. An intriguing backstory makes this an amusing experience for one or two players.
