Wii Virtual Console News and Releases for 2/18/2008
Published February 18, 2008
It's another week in Virtual Console Land, and for Wii owners, it means a new pair of games. The question is, which two? Well, they're obviously both sequels, but check below to see which ones:
Ninja Gained III: The Ancient Ship of Doom (NES, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points): Join master ninja Ryun Hayabusa, last member of the famous Dragon Clan, in the third and final chapter of the legendary Ninja Gained saga. Ryun is framed for FBI agent Irene Lew's murder, and it's up to him to clear his name. Defeating superior life forms created out of "life energy" called BIO-Nodes and avoiding enemy ambushes are among the many obstacles which Ryun faces in this unpredictable adventure of mystery, deceit and destruction. Noticeable changes to the game-play mechanics include Rye's ability to grab on to horizontal surfaces, his reduced falling speed and altered jumping maneuvers, and visible power-ups. Help Ryun defeat the forces of evil once more and discover the real culprit behind Irene's death as one of the most loved trilogies in video-game history comes to a close.
Phantasy Star II (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Animated Violence, 800 Wii Points): Hailed as one of the greatest games of all time by fans and media alike, Phantasy Star II is an RPG that features an epic story line and turn-based battles. Play as Rolf, Nei, Rudo or several other characters as you navigate through the Algal star system battling the evil Dark Force. Build your characters, select the right weapons and armor, and take on the forces of evil through various missions as you find the right combination of characters to complete each objective. Experience the magic once again in this great sequel.
Ninja Gained III: The Ancient Ship of Doom is debuting worldwide on the North American Virtual Console. Phantasy Star II came out in January on the Japanese Virtual Console and last week on the European Virtual Console.
