It looks like Nintendo is treating us to not one, but two StarTropics games this week. In addition to the first title that was just confirmed a little while ago, Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics II is also slated for release tomorrow on the North American Wii U Virtual Console.

Nintendo’s listing has the following overview:

Intrepid adventurer Mike Jones, just back from the South Pacific, is off on a new journey through time and space. Mike’s mission is to save seven mystic Tetrads, while facing the avengers of his foiled foe, the evil Zoda. Decipher codes, solve mysteries, and battle dragons with heroes of days gone by. Mike won’t stop until the Zoda’s are history!

Like the original, you’ll be able to pick up Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics II for $4.99.

StarTropics is arriving on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, according to Nintendo’s website.

Here’s an overview from the official listing:

Step into the shoes of Mike Jones, a teenage star pitcher from Seattle, who has come to the tropics to visit his famous archeologist uncle, Dr. Jones. After being told that his uncle has been abducted, Mike begins a perilous quest in order to rescue him and figure out the mysterious plot behind his disappearance. Luckily for Mike, he meets helpful villagers and finds more powerful weapons as he explores numerous locations and island hops using his uncle’s submarine.

StarTropics will be priced at $4.99.
