Recomend some downloadable games

[BubbaChrissy]

I have'nt heard of over half the games on the wii shop channel. I'm hoping this will boost knowledge of good games.

If you have a game that you like or you think that others will like you can recomend it here. Make sure you include the genre of the game, amount of players, and why you recomend it. And don't be afraid to recomend a game that someone else has already recomended.

I will recomend one to start us off:

Balloon Fight (Action/Adventure, Arcade) 1-2 Players - I like this game because it's fast and easy to play. The object of the game is to pop other players' balloons and then kick them while they are on the ground to remove them from the round. There is an adventure mode in which you collect balloons while dodging obstacles. There is also some pretty catchy music throughout the game.

Bio-Hazard Battle
Genesis
1-2 players
Pick a mutated organic spaceship in the shape of a sea creature and fly around owning people. It's sort of like Gradius, except that the game can scroll in just about any direction. Each of the ships you can choose will get different weapons from the powerups. All of the enemies and bosses are also mutated organic spaceship monsters.



Toejam and Earl
Genesis
Topdown exploration game, or something. I haven't played this in forever and I don't remember exactly what you do, but I remember that it was awesome. I think you just run around looking for presents, and hoping you get ship parts.



Toejam and Earl: Panic on Funkatron
Genesis
Side-view platformer sequel to Toejam and Earl. This game is amazing.

I second the Toe Jam & Earl games. It makes me smile that first reply was recommending them. Some of my favorite Genesis games, highly recommend trying them.

-Any one of the three Bonk games for the TG-16-
All TG-16 classics, Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, and Bonk 3: Bonk's Big Adventure all star a caveman who literally uses his head to defeat enemies. You go through levels collecting fruit to gain health and meat to transform. Bonk 3 introduces candy, which allows you to change sizes depending on which one you eat. Bonk 3 also has simultaneous 2-player action.

Major drawback, however, is that Bonk 3 loses a lot of the luster that the first two had. The music is needlessly bland and often unfitting. And while I like games that have a finite feel to them, this one felt like an end to the series, and an unfitting one at that.

If Super Bonk or Chou Genjin 2 ever come to the Virtual Console, I'd recommend grabbing those as well.

-Bloody Wolf/Battle Rangers-
Hilariously bad Engrish aside, if you got the TG-16 version, a lot of that was mopped up. It's a solid run-and-gunner that pits you as commandos Snake or Eagle against hordes of military *******s who kidnap the president. About halfway through the game, if you played as one commando, you switch over to the other as your buddy is kidnapped and you have to rescue him. A lot of really catchy music in this game, and probably some of the best on the TG-16. Stages 1, 4, and 5 and the boss themes are my favorites by far.

Major drawback, and I think a lot of frustration in the game comes from this, is that there are a few fights in which you're fighting guys using only your knife, but you've got army grunts raining bullets at you. The inevitable truth about these fights is that these guys will have their way with your ass a few times before you figure out their patterns.
