Nintendo has released three more titles for the American Virtual Console. Virtua Fighter 2, Punch Out and Bonk’s Revenge will hit the Wii Shop Channel on Monday and will go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time.
Here are the details of the games for the American Wii Shop Channel:
Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points):
- Virtua Fighter was the very first 3-D fighting game in the industry and introduced six unique characters, each with their own martial arts style. In Virtua Fighter 2, the intrepid fighters return to the World Fighting Tournament. Gamers take to the stage to see who will claim the championship title. Will it be Lau Chan, Kage-Maru, Wolf Hawkfield, Jeffry McWild, Akira Yuki, Jacky Bryant, Sarah Bryant or Pai Chan? The answer lies within. Players plunge themselves in this technically challenging game and see if they have what it takes to be the champion of the second World Fighting Tournament.
Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points):
- As young boxer Little Mac, players have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to battle the big guys of the World Video Boxing Association circuit. Take them on one by one, starting with skinny Glass Joe. Battle up through King Hippo and all the way to the WVBA Champion himself. Gamers use their best jabs, hooks and power uppercuts to knock out opponents, but must pay attention to subtle changes in their body position to evade jaw-breaking blows. With great graphics, addictive action and a touch of humor, this game will keep players entertained for hours.
Bonk’s Revenge (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points):
- The “hardheaded” hero is back for more in the second installment of the Bonk series. Taking place in the Monster Kingdom, Bonk the Caveman makes his way toward King Drool III. Bonk’s Revenge is a side-scrolling action game in which players Jump and “Bonk” (head-butt) their enemies while they make their way to the goal at the end of each stage. Double, even triple, attack power by eating the meat that appears in a stage. There are eight different hidden bonus stages, and the Dinosaur Train that appears after players defeat a boss will change depending on how many Smileys they have collected. With new actions such as the Triangle Jump and the capability to climb trees, as well as seven variety-packed stages, Bonk’s Revenge will keep players playing over and over.
Bonk’s Revenge and Virtua Fighter 2 have already been released for the European VC. Wii gamers with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games.
