NintendoWare Weekly: An actual Virtual Console game

By JC Fletcher


After two weeks of absolutely nothing in new Wii downloads, Nintendo dropped a new Virtual Console game on us. And not just any new Virtual Console game, Super Street Fighter II ... with online play. Even after being released in Japan last November, and being announced locally by Capcom the same month, it's still surprising to see extra functionality.

It's still surprising to see a Wii Virtual Console game.

Wii Virtual Console

  • Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): The Genesis port of the game that introduced the world to Dee Jay. Hoo-oo-hah! Unlike the original version, this one has online play!

3DS eShop

  • Block Factory (Enjoy Gaming, 1 player, $3.99): A color-matching puzzle game with Tetris-like blocks.

DSiWare

  • Chuck E. Cheese's Arcade Room (UFO Interactive Games, 1 player, $4.99/500 DSi Points): Play pretend arcade whack-a-mole and basketball, win pretend tickets, and redeem them for pretend toys. Then, as you sit down for your illusory pizza, you realize – best birthday party ever.
