Animal Crossing: Wild World

A pair of DS titles are heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. As of tomorrow, Kirby Canvas Curse and Animal Crossing: Wild World will be available.

Below are overviews of each:

Kirby Canvas Curse

“When Kirby gets turned into a ball by an evil witch, your hand-drawn rainbow paths become the only way he can find power-ups and reach the gates in each world. Stun enemies, destroy barriers, and detonate bombs—and do much more—by using the stylus. Unlock special features by collecting medals in each stage and completing in-game tasks!”

Animal Crossing: Wild World

“Get ready to start a new life! Whether you want to decorate your home, catch bugs or fish, join in on special events, or just chat with the locals, there’s always plenty to do! Accessorize your life with over 600 new items. Design constellations, clothes, and flags. Take part in events as the seasons come and go!”

Nintendo’s website doesn’t list prices yet, but both should cost $9.99 each.
