Got flood? Then get Street Fighter!

This week has seen parts of the UK battered with lots of rain and flooding; both flash and prolonged. Many are stranded without running water (ironic but true) and power, or houses in rest centres. So, what's our recommendation to pass the time?

Go to stay with some friends or relatives who have a Wii, and turn your Virtual Console on, because it's fight night, baby! Street Fighter II Turbo is back again, so let the hadokens roll!

Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting was originally released for the SNES way back in 1993, boasting faster game play than SF II as well as new & upgraded moves. It arguably has some of the most lovely music ever to be heard on the SNES, as well.

800 Wii Points is well worth this classic beat em up, in our view. But if fighting ain't your thing? Bring on the sci fi chick, in Metroid!

1987 saw Metroid blast onto the NES, assuming the role of Samus Aran, a space bounty hunter. You must save the universe from the spread of Metroids, using Samus' trademark Morph Ball ability. 500 Wii Points later, and Mother Brain can be toast - thanks to you!
