I am going to start doing a virtual console update for the Nintendo wii. Everyone Monday Nintendo as 3 to 4 new games to the Wii's virtual console for downloading. You may be asking what is the Virtual console. The VC is a video game download service that is currently offered by Nintendo for its Wii gaming console. The Virtual Console forms part of the Wii Shopping Channel. Described by Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata as "the video game version of Apple's iTunes Store", the service allows Wii owners to emulate past Nintendo consoles and purchase games originally released for them (NES, SNES and N64) and formerly competing systems, the Mega Drive/Genesis, the TurboGrafx-16, and soon to be the MSX and t he Neo Geo. So I will be having a weekly update on the games that are released.
The point system is case you are wondering what that is by looking next to the games. Basically for every 100 points that equals a dollar in real money.
This past Monday 4/30/2007 the games that were release were:
NES Castlevania - 1 player (500 pts)
While Super Castlevania 4 has been out on the VC since 2006, the original game has not been available until now. Featuring six levels of platforming action, the original Castlevania puts Belmont and the Vampire Killer against the Evil Count in his first adventure on the NES.
SNES The Legend of the Mystical Ninja - 2 players (800 pts)
The Mystical Ninja series has spawned many sequels in Japan with only a few making it to the US. The Legend of Mystical Ninja features co-operative platforming as well as RPG elements. Players will have a chance to visit towns and increase their skills, buy items and play mini games in between the platforming levels.
TurboGrafx Shockman - 2 players (600 pts)
Shockman is another action title this time featuring two cyborgs heroes in a race to defeat the Ryo Empire invasion and rescue the doctor who created them. There are a total of eight stages which include Action stages and Shooting stages. Players will progress through the story and gain new abilities throughout. The two player mode features shared life and the team attack Team Shockbeam.
