Three different consoles and three different genres in today's update.

European gamers have the opportunity to purchase three more games from the Virtual Console selection today. First up is the NES sports game, Volleyball. Its name indicates it comes from a time when sports games could have simple names like that. Secondly, we have Capcom's RPG, Breath of Fire II. Though it may seem odd for the second one to be released before the first, Breath of Fire was not released in Europe until it was ported to Game Boy Advance. Rounding out the list is Namco's Turbografx arcade shooter Galaga '90. This game was released in North America on Monday while the other two games have not yet come stateside. Europe as well as North America will get Cratermaze for Turbografx next week with Neutopia following after that.

Australia and New Zealand have a slightly different set of games since that region is still catching up on Turbografx releases. While they don't get Galaga '90 at this time, they do get Devil's Crush pinball. A surprise Tuesday update also graced gamers there with Air Zonk, Bloody Wolf, China Warrior, and Dragon Spirit. Next week should see releases of Cratermaze, Drop Off, and Galaga '90, after which Australia will be on the same schedule as Europe once again.
