Nintendo is now offering an impulsive island-hopping adventure as well as a renowned fighting title to the American Wii gamers! This week, Star Tropics and The King Of Fighters ’94 will be available on the American Virtual Console.
Here are the details of the games on the American VC:
- Find out just how resourceful you can be in this classic game, with its assortment of adventure and RPG elements. Step into the shoes of Mike Jones, a teenage star pitcher from Seattle who has come to the tropics to visit his well-known archeologist uncle, Dr. Jones. After being told that his uncle has been abducted, Mike begins a perilous quest in order to rescue him and figure out the mysterious plot behind his disappearance. Luckily for Mike, he meets helpful villagers and finds more powerful weapons as he explores numerous locations and island-hops using his uncle’s submarine. You will never know what to expect next as the cosmic story unfolds over the course of eight action-packed chapters, ranging from Dr. Jones’s lab on C-Island to an alien spacecraft. Who knew a tropical vacation could turn into a mission to save the world?
- As the first game in the long-running King Of Fighters series, The King Of Fighters ’94 brought together popular characters from other well-known franchises and pitted them against each other. Match warriors from Fatal Fury against favorites from its sister series, Art of Fighting. Or see if the casts of the Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier series better suit your fighting style. Plus, there’s a set of brand new characters, exclusive to the KOF series, who are willing to join the fray. But there’s a twist: Instead of the standard best-two- out-of-three-rounds fight setup, players choose one of eight teams, each made up of three teammates. To win, all members of the other team must be eliminated before your fighters are knocked out. Use the game’s power gauge to mete out maximum damage and end the round with a devastating finishing move. It’s a battle royal unlike anything else-a game whose inspiration is easily seen in the fighting games that followed it. Can your team be the last one standing?
Star Tropics and The King Of Fighters ’94 have already gone live on the American Virtual Console. It would be great to play a game like The King Of Fighters ’94, which features a lot of popular characters from other recognized franchises.
