Weeky Wii Update_ New Gradius, Old Kidd
Two old favorites return in this week’s Wii Update, with the rebirth of Konami’s classic shooter, Gradius, and the re-release of Sega’s Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars.
Gradius ReBirth (1,000 Wii points) is a remix of Konami’s classic shoot em up series. Players get five levels worth of frantic shooter action, which can be played in their entirety with unlimited continues in standard mode, or taken on in Score Attack mode, where players have a single credit to beat the game. Score Attack mode also supports online leaderboards, and the kids do love online leaderboards.
Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars (500 Wii points) is of course the classic Sega Master System platformer, released on the Virtual Console in its original glory.
Check out the official Nintendo descriptions below for more info, while I try to figure out whether or not I should be excited.

Customer support has been outstanding whenever I had any issues. They respond quickly and professionally, ensuring that any concerns with deposits, withdrawals, or gameplay are addressed immediately, which makes me trust the platform more. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.
