StarTropics and THE KING OF FIGHTERS '94 on Wii Shop Channel!
Can’t believe it’s already 2008? Soothe that sense of future shock with a visit to the Wii Shop Channel, where we’ve just added a pair of awesome vintage games from way back in the 20th century. This week’s new offerings include an unpredictable island-hopping adventure and a legendary fighting title, each guaranteed to deliver classic gaming excitement throughout the new year and beyond.
Two new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new
games to the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed
Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii
Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets.
This week’s new games are:
Star Tropics (NES, 1
player, Rated E for Everyone—Mild Fantasy Violence, 500 Wii Points):
Find out just how resourceful you can be in this classic game, with its
mixture of adventure and RPG elements. Step into the shoes of Mike
Jones, a teenage star pitcher from Seattle who has come to the tropics
to visit his famous archeologist uncle, Dr. Jones. After being told that
his uncle has been abducted, Mike begins a perilous quest in order to
rescue him and figure out the mysterious plot behind his disappearance.
Luckily for Mike, he meets helpful villagers and finds more powerful
weapons as he explores numerous locations and island-hops using his
uncle’s submarine. You’ll never know what to expect next as the cosmic
story unfolds over the course of eight action-packed chapters, ranging
from Dr. Jones’s lab on C-Island to an alien spacecraft. Who knew a
tropical vacation could turn into a mission to save the world?
THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’94 (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen—Animated Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, Alcohol & Tobacco Reference, Violence, 900 Wii Points): As the first game in the long-running KING OF FIGHTERS series, THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’94 brought together popular characters from other well-known franchises and pitted them against each other. Match warriors from Fatal Fury against favorites from its sister series, Art of Fighting. Or see if the casts of the Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier series better suit your fighting style. Plus, there’s a set of brand new characters, exclusive to the KOF series, who are willing to join the fray. But there’s a twist: Instead of the standard best-two- out-of-three-rounds fight setup, players choose one of eight teams, each made up of three teammates. To win, all members of the other team must be eliminated before your fighters are knocked out. Use the game’s power gauge to inflict maximum damage and end the round with a devastating finishing move. It’s a battle royal unlike anything else—a game whose inspiration is easily seen in the fighting games that followed it. Can your team be the last one standing?
