North America VC Update

Nintendo has released three Virtual Console games recently for North American Wii owners in the Wii Shop Channel.

The three games are all different in terms of genre, costs, and the systems that they were previously released for.

The first game is Yoshi’s Story. You may have heard of this game since it was released for Nintendo 64 not too long ago compared to other Virtual Console games. The story in this game is that a baby version of Bowser has cast a spell which turned Yoshi’s Island into a picture book. Players will control six different colored Yoshis throughout the game to bring the place back to normal. I do not know whether this is a sequel or a prequel to Yoshi’s Island.

The second game, Super Thunder Blade, was released for the Sega Genesis system. The players in this game will take control of a helicopter and they will try to fight off guerilla armies. This one costs 800 Wii Points which is 200 Points cheaper than Yoshi’s Story.

Finally, the last game is called World Class Baseball. It features customizable team options, a watch mode, and a versus mode. Based on the title, I think this is one of those baseball games that have fictional teams and do not have authentic Major League Baseball teams and players.
