Three more Virtual Console games are making their way to Wii U in North America this week. Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos, Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom, and Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones are all due out tomorrow.

All three Virtual Console releases are priced at $4.99 each. Brief overviews are posted below.

Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos

“The Emperor of Darkness, Ashtar, is on the move following his servant’s failure. It’s up to Ryu Hayabusa to save the day again! Pick up items that will provide increased abilities, like splitting Ryu into three. Destroy enemies with the Invincible Fire Wheel and other powerful ninjutsu techniques.”

Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom

“Join master ninja Ryu Hayabusa, last member of the famous Dragon Clan, in the third and final chapter of the legendary Ninja Gaiden saga. Ryu 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-NOIDs and avoiding enemy ambushes are among the many obstacles which Ryu faces in this unpredictable adventure of mystery, deceit, and destruction. Ryu’s techniques have improved from last time—his ability to grab on to horizontal surfaces, his reduced falling speed and altered jumping maneuvers, as well as using power-ups give Ryu that extra advantage against his foes. Help Ryu 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!”

Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones

“Join the Lee brothers as they head on a worldwide search for their friend Marion and the powerful Sacred Stones. Defeat your enemies using a collection of martial-art moves, including those of enemies that join your quest. Play solo or together with another player as you finally reach the evil mastermind behind Marion’s kidnapping.”

Last week, Runbow received a new 1.1.0 patch. The update mainly fixes issues with online gameplay and external hard drives, but “a little secret” has also been added to the game mode selection screen. It sounds like the game could be getting more content based on 13AM Games’ tease.

Head past the break for the full breakdown and patch notes.

Shutshimi was made available on the North American Wii U eShop last month. Those in Europe, however, have been wondering when they’ll have access to the game.

Neon Deity Games did share an update on this front during a Reddit AMA yesterday. Regarding the European release, the studio wrote:

“… We recently received our ratings for the EU region. We have a couple minor tests and fixes to prepare, but hopefully it’ll be soon! We can’t give exact dates due to how unpredictable the certification process is, but I would hope for it to ready in a couple of months. Maybe more, but maybe less! We haven’t forgotten our EU friends! It’s just a bit more work, that’s all!”

As far as Shutshimi’s pricing goes, that’s up to Choice Provisions. It should be roughly equivalent to $9.99.

RCMADIAX has made over a dozen games for Wii U starting with BLOK DROP U back in 2014. But going forward, the indie developer will be looking to focus on quality over quantity.

In an interview with Nintendo Life, RCMADIAX’s Michael Aschenbrener mentioned that he’d like to launch only a game or two each year. He hopes to start this with his next release, Super Robo Mouse. If successful, we won’t see RCMADIAX’s next game until around 2018 or 2019.

Aschenbrener’s words in full:

“Ideally I would love to develop just a single project at a time – releasing maybe once per year or two. This is the goal starting with SUPER ROBO MOUSE, and should it prove successful, you would likely not see my next release until 2018/2019.”
