14 DAY TRIAL // This week, on Monday to be more exact, we saw three new classic titles hitting the Wii's Internet service, the Wii Shop Channel. Those are: NES Open Tournament Golf, World Sports Competition and Bloody Wolf. Today, we have found out that two more have been made available as downloadable titles for 500 and 600 Wii Points respectively: the original 1989 (Wikipedia says 1987) NES platformer, Mega Man, and China Warrior, originally released on the TurboGrafx-16 system. For their descriptions, take a look below.
In the original NES Mega Man, players must assume the role of the 14 year-old blue armored character and fight their way through six action-packed stages, defeating bosses as they go in a desperate effort to save the city from evil Dr Wily and his robot army! Players must defeat enemies by shooting at them and navigate past complex obstacles using their agility and speed. Once they have defeated bosses in all the stages, players must defeat the final bosses, utilizing the power-ups earned through previous victories! As mentioned above, Mega Man will set you back 500 Wii Points.
As for China Warrior, it is a side-scrolling beat 'em up title (Kung-Fu style to be more exact), last seen on Turbografx in 1989. China Warrior was acclaimed for its ground-breaking graphics, and even non gamers can experience this epic game all over again on Virtual Console. Consisting of four stages, each divided into three areas, players must battle their way across the country defeating a relentless onslaught of enemies in the hope of being crowned the ultimate warrior. This one's a 600 pointer, but it's worth every last one of them.
So, what are you waiting for? Go download the titles right now and cultivate your brain with some 1989 classic gameplay. If you haven't had a NES or a SNES console, you don't know what you've missed. Besides, you have to learn some day how the Mega Man series started, right?
