WiiWare: OFLC Update - Pair Of Virtual Console Titles Rated

taitochase.jpgWhile not WiiWare, the Australian Classificiation website has rated two new titles - Dig Dug by Namco and Chase H.Q. by Taito.

While Dig Dug is already out in America on the Virtual console - it's another one of those games that originally never got published outside of Japan. Chase H.Q is also interesting because it's under similar circumstances - from what I can tell, the NES version also never came out anywhere but Japan.

Chase H.Q did come out on other formats - for the Commodore 64 and the Master System but are usually written as 'Taito Chase H.Q', and considering both got rated at the same time, along with the rating of Super Mario RPG - Legend Of The Seven Stars a week or so ago, it looks like Nintendo might be ramping up for another 'Hanabi Festival'. Chase H.Q hasn't even been mentioned for a Japanese release either, so this is a bit of a surprise.
