Well, looks like I was wrong about the SNES version of Turtles in Time showing up. Oh well... :P Any interesting week, to say the least. Overturn looks really interesting, but the controls did seem kinda strange for an action game, and the visuals weren't anything special. That said, if the gameplay holds out, it seems as though it could be a nice way to spend 800 points, especially considering its customization and online play.

Tecmo Bowl for the Arcade is nice, but I'd rather have Tecmo Super Bowl. Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see that happen. I'm still trying to wrap my head around Sexy Poker, to be honest... :|

I'm a bit in my cups at the moment.
It's Poker and almost naked women, what's not to love get? :p

Not that I'd buy it.

But yeah I'm surprised a game like that made it to WiiWare. :eggman:

It use to have nudity in it but they had to cut it out :P.


EDIT: Just read IGN's review of Tecmo Bowl Arcade, and it scored .5 less than the NES version, so maybe it's not superior after all xD.

NINTENDO DOWNLOAD: BIG NAMES AND BRILLIANT GAMES MAKE FOR A MUST-SEE DOWNLOADABLE LINEUP

August 10, 2009

There's one word to describe the latest downloadable game offerings from Nintendo: phenomenal. For starters, Wii™ owners can dive into a space adventure for the ages as the Super NES™ classic Super Star Wars™ makes its Virtual Console™ debut. WiiWare™ devotees have two extraordinary new titles to choose from, including the high-flying NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits and the super-charged Rock N' Roll Climber™. And don't miss this week's Nintendo DSiWare™ Brain Age™ title, which will help keep your mind buzzing wherever you go.

WiiWare

NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits

Description: Experience the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl who must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend, Icarus. Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You will need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds as you wish. By making your own wrist movements and pointing to the game screen, you will be able to achieve these and many other feats. Fly, aim and shoot using your Wii Remote™ controller. Play with a friend and maximize your abilities: While one controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the gods.

Rock N' Roll Climber

Description: Prepare to "rock out" like never before in Rock N' Roll Climber. Climb rocks using the innovative control scheme, which has you controlling your character's movement using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk™ controllers. If you want an even more immersive experience, optional support for the Wii Balance Board™ is also available. Make your way up an array of courses, ranging from the Pop level's indoor rock wall to the Heavy Metal level's waterfalls (watch out for those moss-covered rocks - they're slick). In addition to the sense of accomplishment you'll feel upon reaching the top, you might just be rewarded with your own guitar.

Blast menacing boss monsters and Imperial stormtroopers. Attack TIE fighters in the trenches of the Death Star. Fight your way through the wastelands of Tatooine to the hostile streets of Mos Eisley and beyond. Grab your blaster, strap on your lightsaber and take on the fight for galactic freedom.

If you've been keeping up with LucasArts lately, you might've noticed that recently, they've begun to rerelease many of their classic games, after years of seemingly not listening to the cries of fans asking them to do so.

Online download service Steam recently got a bunch of games from their back catalogue with more to come, and the Wii version of Indiana Jones' newest adventure, Staff of Kings, included the classic Indy adventure game, Fate of Atlantis. There have also been talks of bringing back the classic Star Wars X-Wing games.

Now, it seems that LucasArts is taking it one step further - According to the latest ESRB ratings update, Super Star Wars, an awesome SNES platformer based on the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, will be making its way to the Wii sometime. This all seems to be timed too well - Last week on Twitter, LucasArts said they would be making an announcement today concerning more of their back catalogue.

We'll keep you posted on any plans LucasArts has for Virtual Console.

Update: As you've probably seen, Super Star Wars is available in North America today. Nintendo has released a LucasArts press release which goes into a bit more detail - This won't be the only LucasArts game we'll see on Virtual Console!

The press release is below:

The Force is Strong with This One: Star Wars Content Blasts onto Wii Console

Multiple LucasArts Super Nintendo Games Head to Virtual Console

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fans of Star Wars® and classic Nintendo games will want to keep an eye on their Wii™ Shop Channel for the next month. Nintendo will be releasing multiple LucasArts favorites for Virtual Console™, starting today with Super Star Wars®. In the coming weeks, both Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back® and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi® will be added to the Virtual Console lineup. All three Super Star Wars games were originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ and will be available at 800 Wii Points™each.

The arrival of the first three games will be accompanied by additional Star Wars-themed content on other Wii channels throughout the week. The Check Mii Out Channel will invite people to submit their best Mii™ character renditions of classic Star Wars characters. On the Everybody Votes Channel, users can cast their votes to help settle old debates, such as the proper order to watch the sixStar Wars films, and who fired first – Han Solo or Greedo?

“Our expanded partnership with LucasArts brings the Star Wars and Nintendo universes together,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “These three Super Star Wars games represent fantastic additions to the growing Virtual Console library, and the exclusive Star Wars content on the other Wii Menu channels is sure to have people from different generations having fun and interacting with one another.”

“Virtual Console on Wii is a great way to make these games available to our fans again, and it’s an awesome opportunity to expose our classic console titles to an entirely new audience,” said Darrell Rodriguez, president of LucasArts.

Additional classic LucasArts games for Virtual Console will be announced in the future.

All I can say is I might have to get Wii Points soon instead of new retail games....D:

The Han and Greedo thing gave me a good chuckle. I use to have some of the Super Star Wars games on SNES and they were pretty great, also had the GB version of the first movie. They should release the Star Wars Trilogy game on VCA with added motion controls for the light saber mini games(heck even for aiming if they were to do that).

Also NyxQuest is a must have, I need to get some points soon.

I'm not ready to call it a must-have game yet, but it's definitely making me want to invest in some Nintendo points right now, as well. If this game gets the positive reviews I'm hoping for, I'll be taking whatever measure I need to in order to purchase 1000 points soon enough. It's been a while since my last download anyway, and I could use a fresh challenge right about now. I'm closing in on beating Galaxy for the fifth time... :P

I'd like to download SSW soon. I haven't downloaded a Virtual Console title in a while now, it's all been Wiiware stuff and DLC.

Super Star Wars was a big surprise. I'm glad they didn't charge extra for it.
