It looks like another week of originally-Japan-only additions to the Virtual Console in Europe and Australia this week. There’s a trio up for grabs, including a parady of Star Soldier and a graphically impressive boxing sim.

Star Parodier (TurboGrafx CD, 1 Player, 900 Wii Points):

A “cute’em-up” top-down shooter that lampoons the Star Soldier games by replacing most sci-fi elements with humorous graphics and sounds.

You can choose to play the game as the starfighter from the Star Soldier games, a flying Bomberman and a giant, laser-toting PC-Engine, each featuring their own weapon combinations which can be swapped at will in-game by collecting the right power-ups.

Digital Champ: Battle Boxing (TurboGrafx-16, 700 Wii Points):

Digital Champ: Battle Boxing is a Punch-Out-esque game by Naxat Soft, where you control a pair of boxing gloves from a first person view and try to take out the various opponents you encounter.

Takes the Punch Out perspective on the boxing action with each button controlling a fist. Holding punch down launches a power punch, but be sure to keep ducking and weaving with the D pad. Not officially licensed, but seems to have a guest appearance from Rocky in there.

Gley Lancer (SEGA Genesis, 900 Wii Points):

Gley Lancer is a scrolling shooter game developed by NCS. It was released in 1992 in Japan for the Sega Mega Drive game console. The game was never released outside of Japan, and because of this is somewhat unknown worldwide. Strangely enough weapon selection screen at the start of the game is written completely in English with little or no language errors.

A side-scrolling sci-fi shooter, Gleylancer casts you as Lucia, a young pilot in the Space Fleet of starfighters that hijacks the experimental Gleylancer fighter to go explore the outer borders of known space in search of her missing father. Along the way Lucia will have to shoot down dozens of enemies in standard shooter fashion, while avoiding destruction and collecting power-ups that extend her ship’s energy, upgrade weapons and gather screen-clearing bombs.

The Gleylancer comes equipped with two hovering satellites that can receive weapon upgrades of their own, and can lock their positions at specific angles to increase your firepower and protect the player from enemy attacks. Features only a single-player campaign with two different endings depending on how the final stages are completed (e.g. if Lucia’s father is rescued or not).
