The other game to hit the VC is GALAGA ’90. In this 1989 Turbografx game, players battle their way through space to break the enemy strong hold of the Planet Galaga. With each level split into rounds featuring different alien enemies, players must figure out the best route to their goal, collecting Capsules to open new Dimensions along the way.

And the last to come on the European platter is Volleyball. Initially launched in 1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Volleyball recreates this action-packed sport in a way anyone can play!

With lobs, attacks and daring dives all at a players disposal, take on the Wii or a human opponent as Volleyball arrives on Virtual Console for 500 Wii Points.
