Just one new release for the retrograde channel today, despite it being Friday and everything.

This week's PAL region release is Paradroid, a classic of C64 extraction, which can be yours for 500 Wii Points.

A top-down is the soup de jour, complete with sci-fi theme, just in case you're afraid of elves.

The game includes a unique twist whereby you can take control of enemy robots via a circuit-based mini-game, which is actually quite fun from what we hear.

This game is the last Hanabi-themed title out of Japan, concluding Ninty's initiative which saw titles from heading West for the first time.
