14 DAY TRIAL // Last week, on Friday, two more classic titles have been released for the Wii, via the console's Internet service, the Wii Shop Channel. Those are the original NES Mega Man from Capcom and China Warrior, a Turbografix16 original. This week, Wii gamers have two more classics up on the Wii Shop Channel, and one of those is a Nintendo 64 original. Care to know a little bit about each?
The first of the two titles to hit the Wii Shop Channel is Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, a SNES original, featuring 1-2 players support and rated T for Teen. If you're satisfied with the description below and decide it's a must-have title for you, prepare to spend some 800 Wii Points.
Street Fighter II defined gaming in the 1990s by revolutionizing the fighting-game genre. Regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting was the third and final release in the original series. Featuring the eight original World Warriors (including Ryu, Chun Li and Guile) along with playable boss characters (Balrog, Sagat and M. Bison), this classic title offered enhanced playing speed and improved character balancing.
As for the N64 original I made you curious about (or at least I hope so), it will feature 1-4 players support, being rated E for Everyone and setting you back exactly 1,000 Wii Points. I know, quite a lot, but hey, it's an N64 title... OK, enough suspense, here it is:
F-Zero X: Choose from 30 different hover-car racers, including updated versions of the Blue Falcon and other vehicles from the original F-Zero, and get ready to play one of the fastest races ever. You'll speed to the finish line on tracks that twist and turn through the air, doing your best to avoid the other 29 cars on the track. If you're in a competitive mood, try to win a Grand Prix Cup, get the fastest lap time in a Time Trial or destroy the competition in a Death Race. You can also challenge three friends in the Versus mode. With five separate play modes, hidden vehicles and courses, and an excellent soundtrack, F-Zero X still represents one of the best racing titles to date.
That's all for now, and I believe for this week too. That is if Nintendo doesn't decide to roll out more classics by Friday this week. I'm sure that at least one of these will make your delight as a hardcore gamer and fan of the classics (if F-Zero X can be called a "classic"). So, got the points?
