Ys Book I & II is a bit of an odd beast, as it's an early '90s remake of two late '80s action RPGs now emulated on the Wii in 2008. And its core combat mechanic, in which you don't attack enemies so much as you just run straight into them, is sure to both baffle and amuse even the most hardcore of adventure gamers. But that undeniable uniqueness is just what makes a download of this 800 Wii Point package worth consideration. TurboGrafx fans have been clamoring for this game since the first TGCD titles starting appearing in the Wii Shop, and it's easy to see why it's held in such high regard. So give it a look, and prepare to make those random baddies take a taste of their own body-collision medicine.

It's no secret that Wii had tons of awesome TurboGrafx titles yet none are available for Wii U. Sure, you can download a few in Japan but we're not as lucky in the west.
More important than that, downloadable GBA and DS games need to be playable on 3DS.
I was just looking at buying a TG16. Boy have they gone up in price. I would love to see some of the better games on wiiu.
Imagine if Nintendo released an online store that has every single game from their past instead of trickling out 2 games a week. Some day maybe..
Ys I&II: Chronicles is the definitive remake for fans of the original title – that is, until the next time Falcom decides to dust off the license.
The TurboGrafx-16 is easily one of the most underrated consoles ever created. Despite never gaining the recognition that systems by Nintendo or Sega did, it still managed to craft an identity all its own with a solid collection of titles worthy of any gamer's time. These are the top 5 TurboGrafx-16 games to download on the Wii Virtual Console.
