This month’s Wii U Virtual Trial Campaign began just after last week’s Wii U Direct with Balloon Fight. For only $0.30, you can enjoy hours of on of my most loathed games for the NES (Give a listen to our latest Infendo Radio Podcast to find out why).
Despite the poor first choice to introduce us to the campaign, there are some great titles included. Nintendo has released the titles as well as the dates available for purchase. Click the jump below for a list…
Balloon Fight (NES) January 23 through February 21
F-Zero (SNES) February 20 through March 21
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES) March 20 through April 18
Kirby’s Adventure (NES) April 17 through May 16
Super Metroid (SNES) May 15 through June 13
Yoshi (NES) June 12 through July 11
Donkey Kong (NES) July 15 through August 13
I think it fantastic that they timed the released to coincide with the July 15, 1983 30 year anniversary by highlighting Donkey Kong on the same date, since it was one of the first three games released for the newly revealed console.
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
I'm excited about the games, but I'm NOT excited about the blur filter they're applying to the graphics. I wish they would give us the choice to turn it on or off.
Getting all games would only cost $2.10 which means I am buying all of them.
Super Metroid and F-zero for me. The rest of them are sort of lame. Why not include the orginal super mario bros, Link to the past or super Mario Bros 3? They could have offfered better titles than these in my opinion. Most of these are really early NES games adn are not that great. Why not give us the arcade version of Donkey Kong? How hard is that?
I wish they were different titles rather than the ones they gave to those who bought the 3DS before the price drop. (Maybe except for Kirby's adventure…) It is not like they had a limited selection… I am sure there are plently of great NES/SNES games that I have not played. 😛
3th anniversary of the NES ? There is no excuse for not including Super Mario bros or Zelda on there. THose games helped pioneer the NES into the Gamefront adn makeit a success it is.
sorry typo, meant 30th not the 3rd
I will be purchasing every one of them for one reason, and one reason only. Not to open a "hot topic debate," but I am disgusted by Nintendo's overcharging for things like VC, so these will 99.9% likely be the only VC titles I purchase, so I can at least say the I did the only thing I good to "speak with my wallet" about this issue. (And still due to pricing, there will be VERY LITTLE non-VC titles I will purchase on the Wii U at all, only really eyeing The Cave and Cloudberry Kingdom.)
(Just reread my post. Please excuse my typos: it's been a long day.)
