Today Nintendo of Europe and Australia added new classic games to the popular Wii Shop Channel. The games went live at midnight CET. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at stores like Amazon UK (Card).
We’ve included videos of the games so you can see if it’s for you. This week’s new games are:
Mario Golf (Nintendo 64, Sports, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points = €10 / £7.50 / AU$15): Mario takes a well-deserved break from his role as the Mushroom Kingdom’s busiest hero and returns to the links for some world-class golfing action. Since no one likes to hit the fairways alone, he’s brought along a group of friends—both familiar characters and brand new ones. Choose from 10 different modes of play and six 18-hole courses in a variety of environments for a golfing experience with endless replay value. Add in fun, colorful graphics with a Mario touch (a Boo indicates wind direction), intuitive controls, incredibly deep game play and multiplayer support (taunt your opponents), and you have a game anyone will enjoy — even if you’ve never played a round of golf. Fore!
Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Sega Master System, Adventure, 1 player, 500 Wii Points = €5 / £3.75 / AU$7.50): Eleven years have gone by since the original Wonder Boy. After saving Tanya, Tom-Tom was named the “Wonder Boy” by the population of Wonder Land. However, out of nowhere, an evil dragon appeared and invaded Wonder Land with an army of monsters, turning it into “Monster Land”. Tom-Tom is once again asked to save Wonder Land.
