Looks like each system except the N64 gets a new title on the Virtual Console today:
Donkey Kongâ„¢ Country (SNES, 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 Legend of Kage (NES, 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.”
New Adventure Island (TG16, 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.
Streets of Rageâ„¢ (Genesis, 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.
Will you celebrate President’s Day / Chinese New Year with any of these titles?
Well I have DK Country for the GBA. Not much love for the N64 eh? Maybe next week some good stuff will come out.
Oh man, I loved DKC when it came out, I played it all Christmas in 1994…. I'd get the Wii for DKC, its an awesome game!
i think its about time for some sort of Tetris
if they keep releasing weirdo games like this, i'll continue to keep my fingers crossed for Zombie's Ate My Neighbors and either of the Mutant League games (hockey,football) those were awesome!!!
Agreed, Brian … they need to do something like Tetris or Dr. Mario pretty soon. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Wario's Woods get no love from me.
Sweet, now I finally have the perfect excuse to get some points, I was dying for DKC. Such an awesome game. I wonder if they could do Mario RPG, I'm sure there would be very few complaining about that 😉
Donkey kong Country is still a lot of fun and very addictive. Every bit as good as Super Mario World! Don't pass this one up.
