Virtual Console Releases - 2/19/07

by BB

Monday Monday Monday. As a gamer, I’m starting to love Monday because I know we get new game releases in the coming week, and Nintendo updates it’s virtual console on Mondays as well. Here’s the list of what you should expect to show up at 9am PST/12pm EST.

  • Donkey Kongâ„¢ Country (Super NES®, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
  • The Legend of Kage (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)
  • New Adventure Island (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
  • Streets of Rageâ„¢ (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)

As you can see, today would be a great day to spend 1600 Wii Points. I mean, who can overlook the ground-breaking Donkey Kong Country as well as the instant classic Streets of Rage. It looks like I’m going to have to pony up some more money into Nintendo’s virtual console.

Come back after the break for the official press release.

WII-KLY UPDATE: FOUR NEW CLASSIC GAMES ANNOUNCED FOR WII SHOP CHANNEL

Feb. 19, 2007

Today Nintendo adds four new classic games to the popular Wiiâ„¢ video game system’s Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Pointsâ„¢ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:

Donkey Kongâ„¢ Country (Super NES®, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Donkey Kong Country is an incredible island adventure, and the first game to feature Donkey Kong’s sidekick, Diddy Kong®. Challenged by the crazed tribe of reptilian Kremlings, the Kongs face their cunning adversaries armed with lightning-quick moves, chest-pounding muscle and awesome aerial acrobatics. The duo also gets help from a host of friends and family, from Funky Kongâ„¢, Cranky Kongâ„¢ and Candy Kongâ„¢ to Rambiâ„¢ the rhino, Expressoâ„¢ the ostrich, Enguardeâ„¢ the swordfish, Squawks the parrot and Winky the frog. This game has more than 30 levels, plus dozens of hidden caves and secret rooms - more than 100 areas in all. Help the Kongs recover their stolen banana hoard!

The Legend of Kage (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): This classic ninja-action game first appeared in arcades in 1985 and became instantly popular. As the Iga ninja named “Kage,” players embark on an action-packed quest as they move toward a magic castle where the Princess “Kiri” is held captive by “Yohshirou Yukikusa.” To stay alive, players move vertically and horizontally through forest and castle environments and execute massive jumps, all the while using throwing-star knives and a sword to take down hordes of enemies.

New Adventure Island (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): On peaceful Adventure Island, the islanders are celebrating the wedding of Master Higgins and Tina, the “Miss Island Queen.” Suddenly, the celebration is interrupted by the appearance of Baron Bronsky and his henchmen, who kidnap Tina and the island children. Master Higgins must set out to rescue the children and his beloved Tina in this side-scrolling action game. Throw hatchets and boomerangs, hop on skateboards and guide Master Higgins safely to the goal in each area. New Adventure Island consists of seven exciting stages. Each stage is split into four areas, with a boss waiting at the end of the final area. Defeat all the bosses and release the kidnapped children. And waiting in the castle of the final stage - the wicked Baron Bronsky. Help Master Higgins defeat him and reclaim his bride.

Streets of Rageâ„¢ (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): The city was once a happy, peaceful place…until one day, a powerful secret criminal organization took over. This vicious syndicate soon had control of the government and even the police force. The city has become a center of violence and crime where no one is safe. Amid this turmoil, a group of determined young police officers has sworn to clean up the city. Among them are Adam Hunter, Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding. They’ve decided to put their lives on the line and take back their city through their special hand-to-hand combat abilities. They are willing to risk anything, even their lives, on the Streets of Rage.

    You’re pretty close, but Streets of Rage 2 was actually much better. The first one will always be more well known as the flagship of the franchise, but SOR 2 just played a lot more smooth and less clunky.
