Ogre Battle Heading to Virtual Console, Says ESRB

January 12, 2009 11:25 AM

Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, the original SNES ogre-based strategy title, will soon be available on the Wii Virtual Console, according to ratings board ESRB.

The ESRB website lists Ogre Battle for release on the Wii. No date yet. The March of the Black Queen was the first in the Ogre Battle franchise. The game was renowned for its unique blend of overworld strategy and RPG combat.

Fun fact: Did you know that Black Queen's title was entirely derived from two songs--titled "Ogre Battle" and "March of the Black Queen"--on rock group Queen's second album? Now you know!

  It got retarded tough later in the levels compared to how it started.
  
  I loved to just bottle neck the enemy in front of their base since they normally always took the same route.
