Urban Champion being re-released as a 3d Classic!


Urban Champion

This week's update for the various Nintendo download services brings with it several new games, the most noteworthy of which is... worthy of being noted because of how awful it is.
Urban Champion ($4.99) is the latest game in the 3D Classics line of classic game revivals on the 3DS eShop. It's the third such remake, joining Xevious and Excitebike. It's a very simplistic fighting game (based on a Game & Watch title) that came to North America in 1986 on NES.
It isn't the strongest selection for a remake; it was also released on the Virtual Console in 2006 and was among theworst games available at the time. Nintendo has made it clear that 3D Classics likely won't ever be released in great abundance, so why a game that is generally regarded to be so miserable was chosen as one of the six planned 3D Classics is beyond me.
