Go for the crackdown: Elevator Action gameplay

So how are you sure 500 Wii Points are going to be worth a trip through the elevator shafts of retro gaming? Well, we remember Taito's Elevator Action as one of the best games during NES-era, but do you? It's a simple concept, really: side-scrolling shooter involving you trying to navigate down a sky scraper that's crawling with baddies (they always reminded me of the Black Spy from "Mad"magazine).

Thinking about that way, you could say that it's a possible pre-cursor of Crackdown, only limited to within the confines of a building. Quite a stretch, yeah, but during the retro era, Elevator Action was just as popular as Crackdown is today. Now, with that said, you might want to check out the gameplay video below. Maybe then you'd finally consider getting the title on the Virtual Console.
