This week’s Wii U Virtual Console game has been confirmed through a listing on Nintendo’s website. Final Fight One, which came out in Europe and Japan back in July, is now due out in North America tomorrow.

Here’s an overview of the title:

“Trouble is brewing in Metro City. After a massive takedown on crime and violence by Mayor Mike Haggar, the Mad Gear Gang take revenge by kidnapping the mayor’s daughter, Jessica. Knowing that he won’t be able to battle this storm on his own, he enlists the help of two acquaintances—Cody and Guy.

Take on the role of either Cody, Guy, or Mike as they punch, kick, and throw down throngs of thugs. Defeat all enemies in order to advance to the next stage. In this version of the game, there are six stages showing a different area of the city, including an extra stage that was not available in the SNES version of Final Fight. Scour the city streets and rescue Jessica before it’s too late!”

Pricing for Final Fight One is set at $7.99.

Last month, Nintendo of America picked up a new trademark for Donkey Kong Jr with the USPTO. The filing pertains to “Downloadable electronic game programs; downloadable electronic video game software; electronic game programs; electronic game software; video game programs; video game software”.

One interesting note is that, previously, Nintendo used the “Donkey Kong Junior” trademark. This particular one has been shortened to “Jr.”, however.

Will anything actually come from the trademark? Only time will tell!
