This week’s Virtual Console selection will satisfy your hunger, if not your desires. Operation Wolf and Columns III are quite acceptable titles to add to your collection. It’s just that they’re so boring. I have been thoroughly bored by the nice VC titles for Wii this week. I’m not sure why that is.
Operation Wolf for the NES had players take part as an elite member of the Operation Wolf squad. You’ll have to infiltrate the terrorists and fight soldiers, helicopters and other pixel armory. And even though Operation Wolf would be a perfect fit for Wii remote control, the trend of emulation without improvement shall continue. Columns III is essentially an updated version of the original. Jewels fall into a bin and you manipulate them to clear them out before the screen fills up. It’s a standard puzzle game, and is well….it’s nice.
The overly banal titles can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel now. Operation Wolf will set you back a reasonable 500 Wii Points, and Columns III will run an unreasonable 800 Wii Points.
