Load up your Nintendo Wii and the Virtual Console and you’ll be greeted by two new games which join the already 194 title strong system. First up is Super R-Type, originally released for the SNES and considered one of the best sidescrollers ever. It can be picked up for 800 Wii Points. If R-Type isn’t your cup of tea then make sure you check Operation Wolf out. For 500 Wii Points this 1989 NES title allows you to fight through the jungle to save the day.

Like the downloadable Xbox Originals or the buyable Platinum ranges, Xbox Live Arcade is seeing a similar concept; Xbox Live Arcade Hits. On offer is Assault Heroes, the winner of the IGN Xbox Live Arcade 2006 award and its only 400 Microsoft Points. There’s Doom for a similar 400 which recreates the iconic FPS with full 5.1 surround sound. On the horizon (for Xbox Live Arcade generally) is Rock and Bullwinkle, TiQal, Wits and Wagers and Wolf of the Battlefield: Cammando 3.

Is Microsoft quaking in its boots after the collapse of HD-DVD or is just some general strategic marketing? Either way, whatever reason you put to it, Microsoft have reduced the cost of their Xbox360 range. Come the 14^th of March you’ll be able to pick up and Xbox Elite at £259.99, the Premium at £199.99 and the Arcade at £159. That’s a big reduction and will be sure to please those sat on the fence.
