Nintendo is still celebrating the Metroid month, much to the delight of the gamers, especially the ones who own a Nintendo Wii! This week, Super Metroid, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master and Neutopia will make their way to the American Virtual Console.
Details of the games for the American VC:
- The Space Pirates, ruthless agents of the evil Mother Brain, have stolen the last Metroid from a research station, and once again Mother Brain threatens the wellbeing of the galaxy. Samus Aran must don her overwhelming array of high-tech weaponry to get back the deadly Metroid hidden deep within the cave-riddled planet Zebes. Super Metroid features excellent graphics, with an enormous variety of enemies and worlds to explore. The side-view action will be familiar to many players, only now there are new weapons and items, including the Grappling Beam, which allows Samus to swing across large chasms, and the X-Ray Scope, which reveals secret passages.
- In this thrilling sequel to The Revenge of Shinobi, Joe Musashi finds that Neo Zeed – the crime organization he believed he had wiped out two years earlier is indeed still alive and well. The return of Neo Zeed and its leader, the mysterious Shadow Master, forces Musashi to return from exile and confront the growing evil. As the Shinobi, the master of long-forgotten Oboro Ninjitsu martial arts, Musashi must make use of all his powers to overcome his different enemies. Thanks to his extensive combat skills and special Ninjitsu moves, only the Shinobi can thwart Neo Zeed and vanquish the Shadow Master.
- In this action role-playing game, you take control of a courageous boy who sets off on a journey to rescue the kidnapped princess and recover the eight medallions that were stolen by the evil demon, Dirth. You’ll need to rely on your magic compass and information you’ve gathered to find entrances to labyrinths and overpower the bosses in them. Solve puzzles, avoid traps, move blocks and destroy walls to uncover secret rooms in the labyrinths. Carefully use your map to discover hidden treasure and powerful equipment. Travel the land, underground, sea and sky on your quest to recover the medallions. With a save function, the right difficulty level and a system that doesn’t include experience points, this is truly an RPG that anyone can enjoy.
Shinobi III has already been released on the European Virtual Console sometime back. Super Metroid, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master and Neutopia have gone live and will be available on the Wii Shop Channel.
