Nintendo Wii Virtual Console January 7th Releases

This week, StarTropics and The King of Fighters '94 arrive on the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console. Here is a brief rundown on the titles of yesteryear.

StarTropics
^{Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Original System: NES
Original Release Date: 1990
Genre: Adventure
Controller Options: Classic, Gamecube and Wii Remote
Wii Points: 500
ESRB Rating: E}
StarTropics is an underrated adventure game made by Nintendo that successfully mixes the RPG and Zelda-esque adventure genre. Instead of a traditional sword, your main attack weapon is a yoyo. With creative puzzles and simple yet fun combat, StarTropics is the Virtual Console Game of the Week.

The King of Fighters '94
^{Developer: SNK
Publisher: D4 Enterprise
Original System: NEOGEO
Original Release Date: 1994
Genre: Fighting
Controller Options: Classic, Gamecube and Wii Remote
Wii Points: 900
ESRB Rating: T}
The King of Fighters '94 is the first game in the underappreciated fighting series. Although the first game is solid fighter, the subsequent sequels are better. Not to mention that 900 Wii Points is a little too steep.
