20 March 2009

Today Nintendo of Europe and Australia added a new classic game to the popular Wii Shop Channel. The game 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 a video of the game so you can see if it’s for you. This week’s new game is:

Super Punch-Out!! (SNES, Sports, 1 player, 800 Wii Points = €8 / £6 / AU$12): Get training for the upcoming Wii version (due May 18/22, 2009) of “Punch-Out!!” with the Super Nintendo sporting classic Super Punch-Out!! This follow-up you face off against your favourite opponents from the arcade and NES versions, along with a roster of all-new foes — many of whom will challenge you soon on Wii –, on your way to the top of the WVBA (World Video Boxing Association) rankings.

Take on 16 opponents in Championship Mode, learning their techniques and weak points to take them down, or practise your skills on single opponents in Time Attack Mode! Bold, colourful graphics and dramatic sound effects set the scene for what promises to be the fight of your life!

Nice that it finally reached PAL (No, I don’t live in the PAL region)! American shall see it soon. Shame it’s the only game for the Virtual Console that’s new today, consider that PAL only get VC games once every two weeks. This gives American the slight possability that they will get no game this upcoming week.

But if we do manage to avoid it (And probably will), Bomberman 94′ and Detana!! TwinBee for the Turbografx-16 will be on the Virtual Console on March 23, 2008! Finally a two-game week! I will be downloading Bomberman 94′ for the Turbografx-16 as soon as I get some more Wii Point Card. Sure it’s a import, but for once, I’m going to dive in, because I actually want it!
