Fighting or island exploration - the choice is yours

It’s Monday and that can mean only one thing – more Virtual Console games to enjoy.

Thankfully US Wii owners have two brilliant titles to download and enjoy this week. King of Fighters ’94 is the first in the long running series and represents one of the best 2D fighters of the era. The concept of selecting teams of fighters as opposed to just one character was a real innovation at the time and although developer SNK has improved the idea with each subsequent update, this is still extremely playable and is worth the asking price of 900 Wii points.

StarTropics is one of Nintendo’s lesser-known games. Playing a lot like fellow Nintendo stable mate Zelda, this is an interesting little game that will appeal to fans of action RPG games. For 500 points it’s hardly going to break the bank, either.
