Virtual Console

Nintendo’s website has updated with two more Wii U Virtual Console games slated for release in North America. Along with Flying Warriors, which we posted about today, Kung-Fu Heroes and Little Ninja Brothers will be out tomorrow.

Here are overviews of each:

Kung-Fu Heroes

“Monsters have taken Princess Min-Min, and the treasures. The whole land has fallen into sorrow. Only Kung-Fu Masters Jacky and Lee can save the princess and retrieve the treasures. Their journey will take them to eight different castles filled with a host of traps and obstacles. Use Punches and the Miracle Kick to defeat the enemies. Whether or not you make it to the last castle depends on your quick wits and reflexes.”

Little Ninja Brothers

“You are spirited Ninja boys, Jack and Ryu, who take off on a journey to defeat the Yoma Clan. Fight enemies with various skills such as punches, kicks, swords, and throwing stars. Take your attacks to the next level with special items like the Iron Claws and the Crush Punch. Work as a team to bring peace back to Chinaland.”

This week’s North American Wii U Virtual Console game appears to be Flying Warriors. It just appeared on Nintendo’s website, yet strangely, it’s listing a release date of January 20. We assume this was simply an error, and was intended to be January 25 instead.

In any case, here’s an overview of Flying Warriors:

“When the evil red star appears in the sky, the great monster of the Dark Dimension, Demonyx, returns. The five Flying Warriors, led by Rick Stalker, are sent by the Dragon Lord to defeat Demonyx. Fight through four game modes. Choose one of two different fighting styles. One for beginners, and one for those who can master the martial arts. Use items and Mystic Spells in your quest to rescue the Light Dimension from darkness.”

Flying Warriors will set you back $4.99.
