This week sees the 200th game arrive on the Virtual Console along with the launch of Commodore 64 games. As the biggest selling personal computer of all time, the release of the Commodore 64 back in 1982 was an historic moment in the computer and video games industry.

Originally seen on the Commodore 64 in 1986, Uridium sees the solar system invaded by fifteen Super-Dreadnoughts. Players must defend each of the fifteen planets in this classic shoot’em up to stop the enemy fighters draining precious mineral resources from the planetary cores. Uridium is available for download now for 500 Wii Points.

Next from the classic Commodore 64 is International Karate. Released in 1986 for the Commodore 64, this one-on-one fighting game sees players compete in a karate tournament to become the international karate champion. Players must fly around the globe to various exciting locations, under the watchful eye of the old wise judge, winning bouts as they go. International Karate on Virtual Console is available for 500 Wii Points.

Finally, this week we also get Cruis’n USA, released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998. Featuring a 14-stage cross country solo challenge, as well as a split-screen two player mode to take on a friend head-to-head, enjoy famous US sights like the Golden Gate Bridge and the Grand Canyon. Cruis’n USA is available to download now for 1000 Wii Points.
