This week's VC releases for NA: Mach Rider, Yoshi, Air "Zonk" |
Ó
Here's another batch of retro game releases on Virtual Console. On the spotlight this week is Mach Rider, Yoshi, and Air "Zonk". We'll take you on a brief trip down memory lane through all the titles.
Mach Rider was a driving video game set in 2112, originally released for the NES. Evil Quadrunners have taken over the Earth and you have to race through the sectors for survivors. You'll have to watch out for various obstacles like rocks, oil slicks, and the Quadrunners while you go around on your motorcycle at insane speeds. Players can also design their own race courses in Design Mode.
Yoshi, originally released on the NES, centers upon Mario's ravenous dino buddy. This action puzzle title features Mario catching Goombas, Bloopers, and Boo Buddies on trays to free Yoshi from an egg. Players will be able to shuffle and switch the enemy stacks to defeat them. Sounds pretty simple, though you will probably change your mind when the pace starts to pick up.
Third on our list is Air "Zonk". It was originally for the TurboGrafx16 system and was a spin-off of "Bonk's Adventures". Air "Zonk" is a side-scrolling shooter which features cartoon-ish graphics and a cyberpunk setting. The game's hero forms the Team Cool and they set out to thwart King Drool's evil plans to conquer the world. Players can choose from three difficulty levels and Friend modes.
Mach Rider and Yoshi will both cost 500 Wii Points while Air "Zonk" costs 600 Wii Points. The titles will go live on the Wii Shop Channel later at 9 A.M. Pacific time.
