WiiWare and Virtual Console: Gradius Rebirth, and Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars

Out this week for WiiWare and the Virtual Console on the Wii. Both are side-scrollers, but Gradius rebirth is a shoot em' up, and Alex Kidd is a platformer.

Gradius Rebirth(made by Konami) will be 1000 points or $10.The game features two modes: a standard game with unlimited credits and a Score Attack mode where players are only given a single credit to beat the game. Score Attack also supports online leaderboards.The game features 5 different types of ships to choose from, and five stages in total, with each (except the first stage) having its own original boss at the end.
Gradius Rebirth plays very similarly to Gradius Galaxies. The game features enemies and artwork similar to previous titles. The power meter and text display have also been updated. The music was composed by Manabu Namaki and consists of remixed music from previous Gradius games.

Alex Kidd:The lost Stars(by SEGA) will also be 1000 points or $10. Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars features Alex Kidd and Stella searching for the twelve Zodiac signs.The game uses recycled stages, making the player go through all the stages again with increased difficulty, with bonuses in different positions.

These games do not interest me due to the fact that they are on the Wii and they are retro type games.
