Commodore 64 Games Hit European VC

International Karate and Uridium lead in the C64 charge, while the N64's Cruisn’ USA is also released today in Europe.

This week’s European Virtual Console games contain the release of the previously announced Commodore 64 games, International Karate and Uridium at 500 Wii Points each. Also hitting the virtual realm is the Nintendo 64 racing game, Crusin’ USA, at 1000 Wii Points. Since the Commodore 64 was a personal computer, the games for it often used keyboards. VC Reviews notes that whenever such a time arises, the Wii’s on-screen keyboard pops up and lets you input whatever you need.

International Karate is a one-on-one fighting game that uses an interesting control scheme because of the Commodore 64’s one-button joystick in which moves are done by moving the control stick around.

Uridium is part of the usual Virtual Console fare of shoot-‘em-ups. However, the game is quite legendary amongst the system’s fans and brings an atypical setup where your movement is not forced and you can scroll through the game’s levels.

CROOOOOOOOOOOZIN!!!! Cruisin' USA YEAAH!!!!

What an awesome/awful game. 

I played the mostly superior Atari 800 versions of games growing up, but I wouldn't mind getting C64 versions over here on VC.  Though M.U.L.E. just isn't the same without 4 players.
