This week's three are NES Open Tournament Golf, World Sports Competition, Bloody Wolf sure to make the delight of those who like living on the edge. Eh, heck three more up on the Wii Shop Channel, check out their descriptions below:
NES Open Tournament Golf (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): We all knew that Mario was a top-notch plumber, but did you know that he could also be a world-class golfer? You can challenge another player in Stroke, Match and Tournament modes. Play on three fantasy courses in the USA, the UK and Japan and try to win a million dollars. Make sure you keep an eye on the wind and distance to the hole before selecting your club.
World Sports Competition (TurboGrafx-16, 1-5 players, 600 Wii Points): Play through a total of 18 Olympic events in this action/sports title. Players compete in six categories of events that include shooting, archery, rowing, swimming and track and field. The game features Olympics mode, where you play all the events over the course of a few days, and Training mode, where you can choose individual events to play. After practicing in Training mode, go for the gold in Olympics mode and break world records. Up to five players can join the competition.
Bloody Wolf (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): Enter alone, deep into enemy territory to rescue the kidnapped President in this overhead-view action shooter. Take on the role of a commando in a Special Forces team and face your enemies with an onslaught of weapons, including machine guns and grenades. Earn valuable information, weapons and items by rescuing POWs. Fight your way to the end of each stage and defeat the boss by effectively using your weapons and equipment. The Wii port features refined graphics, story and cut-scenes, making it a better action game than ever. It also includes the second half of the story that was left out of the arcade version.
How many classics are out there? No really, I mean, they must end sometime. Waaait... PSone titles will become classics later on. No wait... that's not how it goes with music or film. Classics stay in the classic genre and whatever appears later on can't fit the same category so... I'm lost. Help me here!
