Two of Nintendo's iconic heroes take center stage on Wii's innovative
Virtual Console this week.
Transport back to the early 90's with the
much-loved SNES classic Super Mario World and reacquaint yourself with
Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach in what was the biggest Mario game of
its time! As the first game to introduce everyone's favourite dinosaur,
Yoshi, as Mario's controllable sidekick, get yourself ready relive the
game that set the bar for all subsequent side“scrolling titles. Super
Mario World is available for download from today for 800 Wii Points.
But
we don't want to give you just one legendary character “ how about
another? Get ready to draw your sword and join Link on his second epic
adventure on NES, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, available to
download for 500 Wii Points. This game featured a brand new adventure
and many elements that would later become essential features for the
franchise.
As if that wasn't enough, Wii owners will also be
able to download Vigilante, originally for TurboGrafx (PC Engine)
from today. These join 46 classic titles already available for the
Virtual Console in Europe. Since launch a staggering 1.5 million games
have been downloaded worldwide from the service.
