I've got a pretty tough Virtual Console decision here.

Well, Metal Slug Anthology has taught me that shooters are fun, and I was hoping to get a shooter on the Wii's Virtual Console, but because they used to release one or two every week, I'm completely stumped on this.

The bigger titles I instantly notice are:

Gradius 3
Contra and Super C
Lords of Thunder
Gunstar Heroes

I at least know those receive very positive feedback from fans of the genre, but there are many others. Any kind of shooter, really, where you dodge bullets and get power-ups. But what I'm really leaning toward is one where you run and gun, like in Contra and Gunstar. I'm also considering that updated version of Galaga, just because the Galaga I had for the NES was great fun. Not the same kind of shooter, but ah well.

So, any suggestions?

Gunstar Heroes. Gunstar Heroes is crazy fun, it's like my favourite game on the Genesis. Don't even hesitate to buy it. It's an awesome game.

Contra.

I have played select games from the Gradius series and I would recommend it over the other games listed; however, please keep in mind that I do not typically play games of this genre.

Bubble Bobble. :D

...Seriously. :sweat:
