New console added to the Japanese Virtual Console… sort of.
A new console was added to the Japanese Virtual Console today. The Japanese-only NEC SuperGrafx. What the heck is a SuperGrafx? Well, the SuperGrafx is to the TurboGrafx-16 what the SNES is to the NES. Or it would be, if the SNES only pretended to be 16 bits and had a library of, like, 7 games. Perhaps that is why it doesn’t even get to use its own name on the Virtual Console, with its games being referred to as TurboGrafx-16 games.
This is fantastic news for Japanese gamers who were just dying to pay an extra 200 points for a slightly different version of Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, though! Color me jealous!
