Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a love letter to B-grade horror films. We were asking for it over three years ago ourselves. At the time, it wasn't particularly well received - but its audience has grown considerably over the years, to the point where this game has been one of the most requested additions to the VC selection since even before the Wii launch. This LucasArts-developed co-op run-and-gun is a cult classic that first arrived on the SNES and Genesis back in 1993. It's a rare case of excellent timing for the Virtual Console this week, as the latest addition to the Wii Shop's lineup of emulated classics is perfectly themed for Halloween - Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

The following review should be used as a reference for how well the game stood up over time rather than an evaluation of how it would have scored based on its original release date. Because of this change of medium and the passage of time, it is possible that there are slight factual differences between the original retail product and the version reviewed. The review of this product is based on a re-released version of the game.
