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:
ClayFighter (Sega Mega Drive, Fighting, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points = €8 / £6 / AU$12): All your Play-Doh dreams can come true thanks to ClayFighter. This is serious hand-to-hand combat, but the competitors are all made of clay, so you can expect some hilariously wild antics to ensue when you step into the arena, where awesome animation and digitized speech bring the characters to life. You can play as eight different characters including Bad Mister Frosty, Taffy, Bonker, Blob, Helga, Ickybod Clay, Tiny, and Blue Suede Goo each with their own special moves and fighting tactics. While there’s plenty of violence to be found, you won’t see any blood and guts since all the characters are made of clay! If things start to get a little stale, try to discover the hidden moves and combos that will put a whole new wrinkle in the action. For the ultimate battle, take on a friend in the two-player mode.
Sonic Chaos (Sega Master System, Platformer, 1 player, 500 Wii Points = €5 / £3.75 / AU$7.50): Play as Sonic or Tails in Sonic Chaos, which was originally made for the Sega Master System. Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik) has stolen the Red Chaos Emerald to create nuclear weapons. This has thrown the remaining Chaos Emeralds off balance, causing them to transport to a parallel universe. As a result, Sonic’s home, South Island, is sinking into the ocean. Speed through various levels in your crusade for the six Chaos Emeralds. Perform Strike Dashes and Super-Peel Outs as Sonic, or Spin Dash and Fly as Tails, and restore order in Sonic Chaos.
