The Ignition Factor is slated for the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, Nintendo’s website confirms. You’ll be able to pick up the classic title for $7.99.

Here’s the official description from Nintendo’s listing:

“Take control of a brave firefighter as he battles to save people from towering infernos and flame-filled factories. You have a large variety of equipment to help you with your task. The hero isn’t afraid to get physical by kicking objects, climbing ropes, and jumping in order to get to all areas. But time works against you as the fires get gradually worse and you run out of breathable air. Different types of fire need to be extinguished using different methods, so you’ll need to use your equipment to the best of your ability. Enlist the help of the fire engine and your fellow firefighters to extinguish all the flames you can see. Keep your cool to rescue all of the victims, getting them out of the fire and back to safety!”

Twitter user NWPlayer123, who is known for data mining Nintendo games, has come across an interesting discovery. It appears that there are files within the game for the Angry Sun. That’s leading to speculation of DLC, though there’s definitely no such confirmation currently.

NWPlayer123 also came across a couple of other interesting things. Also found through data mining, it seems as though there were originally plans to allow players to place Bullet Bills without a launcher. Moreover, Goomba’s Shoe was considered for New Super Mario Bros. U mode.
