Virtual Console

Two Virtual Console games are releasing for Wii U in North America this week. According to Nintendo’s website, Detana Twin Bee and China Warrior will be out tomorrow.

Here’s an overview of Detana Twin Bee:

Here come Twinbee and Winbee on a mission to save the planet from evil alien invaders! Standing in their way are six stages full of goofy enemies! Play as Twinbee in one-player mode, or team up with Winbee in two-player-cooperative mode. With powerful attacks like Big Shot, or Twin Attack and Burst Attack in two-player mode, there’s plenty of sting in their arsenal! Use your Shot to transform Bells that appear in stages into items with various effects. Stock up on these bad boys to expand your attack range and really have a blast!

And China Warrior:

It’s up to the kung-fu master Wang to defeat the Dark Emperor, who stands at the top of the kung-fu world in China. Punch, kick, and jump kick your way through all the enemies in the path between you and the three bosses of each stage. Skillfully fight your way through all 4 stages. Be sure not to miss recovery items while dodging enemy attacks! One-on-one fights against the game’s realistic bosses will get you so excited that you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of a kung-fu movie!

Detana Twin Bee and China Warrior will be priced at $5.99 each.

The Wii U Virtual Console still seems to be going strong. While they were made available previously in Japan, six more games have been rated for release in North America.

Lords of Thunder, Legend of Hero Tonma, Digital Champ: Battle Boxing, Detana Twin Bee, Break In, and Power Golf should be out in the near future. No definitive date yet, but these ratings signify that they’re dropping sooner rather than later.

The New 3DS Virtual Console continues to live on… in Japan at least. Twelve new games are set to hit the service later this week.

The news comes as part of an upcoming summer sale Nintendo will be hosting on the Japanese Wii U and 3DS eShops. More than fifty games will be discounted by 20 percent, with My Nintendo members receiving an extra 20 percent bonus.

The 3DS Virtual Console releases of Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver are fast approaching – they will be available to download on September 22. Additionally, Nintendo of Europe announced today that special packaged versions of the games will also be available to purchase in stores on the same day. Naturally they won’t contain a cartridge of the games, but instead just a download. Still, it’s definitely a nice collector’s item.

So far, this has only been confirmed for Europe, but we’d be surprised if Japan and North America weren’t getting boxed releases as well.

We have the following overview of Final Soldier:

In the 23rd century, invaders from the future suddenly attack Earth. Controlling a fighter created by the world’s scientists, you rise to meet the enemy. Collect power-up units, such as LASER, E-BEAM, FIRE, and MISSILE, and then equip them in Options to launch a variety of attacks. For each of these weapons, you can freely select from three different types in SET-UP. Anticipate enemies’ strikes and deftly switch between weapons to defeat the invaders! In addition to NORMAL GAME, there are also 2 MINUTE GAME and 5 MINUTE GAME score-attack modes. The most perfect blend and balance of any game in the series, Final Soldier is a title you don’t want to miss.
