One WiiWare Game and Two Virtual Console Games Added to Wii Shop Channel
The list of available games for Wii owners just keeps on growing as we add another trio of titles to the Wii Shop Channel. This week's lineup features Old West thrills, supernatural chills and a little blue hedgehog whose name you're sure to recognize. Thanks to Nintendo's WiiWare downloadable game service and the classic-filled Virtual Console, building your own blockbuster video game library has never been easier.
Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. 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 retail outlets. This week's new games are:
WiiWare
Wild
West Guns (Gameloft, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen—Violence, 1,000
Wii Points): Draw your revolver to see if you're the fastest gun in the
West. Adjust your speed and precision as targets or enemies appear in
front of you. Point and shoot to earn more points. You can aim at
anything, so be sure to explore the environment for elements that will
earn you more shooting points. Identify your enemies among the
characters you encounter, but don't shoot at innocent citizens. Take
part in an Old West-style train attack, or challenge your skills in a
variety of increasingly difficult shooting challenges in other
beautiful, classic and lively Western environments. As you progress
through challenges, you'll earn medals and rewards, making for nonstop,
addictive action. Play in a two-player multiplayer mode where you and
your partner can combine points, or play against each other to find out
who's the fastest gun in the West.
Virtual Console
Sonic
The Hedgehog (Sega Master System, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone,
500 Wii Points): Based on the original Sega Genesis version, Sonic The
Hedgehog was re-created as the first Sonic game for the Sega Master
System. Not just a straight port, this version includes new stages,
bosses, some different zones and a level map. The most noticeable
difference, however, is that the Chaos Emeralds have to be found within
certain stages other than the Special Stages. Dash through six Zones
(including special zones that were only available for the Sega Master
System version) and face Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik) at the end of
every Zone.
SPLATTERHOUSE 2 (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated M for Mature—Blood and Gore, Violence, 800 Wii Points): SPLATTERHOUSE 2 is the sequel to SPLATTERHOUSE, released only on the Sega Genesis. A few months after escaping from the first mansion in SPLATTERHOUSE, the main character, Rick, once again encounters the Terror Mask and must use its powers to rescue his beloved Jennifer. Rick will need to punch, slash, smash and even chainsaw his way through a haunted mansion against unspeakable horrors and terrifying bosses to make it out alive.
