Alien Soldier is a much underrated action game that wasn't availble in America until now via Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console. You will have to run and gun your way (a la Contra) through the intense levels. Not to mention that Alien Soldier is developed by Treasure, whose pedigree in action games has been top notch.
