Wii-kly Update: One New Classic
Game Added To Wii Shop Channel

There’s one new game for the Virtual
Console™ this week – and it’s a double. Double Dragon™ is a true action-fighting
classic. This side-scroller brought the arcade original into the home and laid
the groundwork for numerous sequels. It’ll get your nostalgia engine fired up.
Now go put the hurt on some bad guys and save Marian.

Nintendo adds new games to the Wii
Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii™ owners with a high-speed
Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can
be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games
are:

Double Dragon (NES®, 1-2 players,
Rated Everyone 10+ — Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points): Double Dragon begins with
Billy Lee’s girlfriend, Marian, being kidnapped by a group called the Black
Warriors. They demand to know the secrets of Billy’s martial-arts style in
exchange for his girlfriend. However, Billy won’t stand for these underhanded
tactics and decides to rescue her himself. Help him fight through city streets,
buildings, jungles, temples and various other locations in a quest to find his
girl. He’ll gain experience by using different fighting techniques to obtain
more hearts, which will unlock more powerful techniques to use against his
enemies. Keep an eye out for crates, boulders, whips, bats, knives and even
dynamite along the way, as Billy can also use them to annihilate opponents.
Armed with his mysterious and powerful martial arts, help Billy pummel his way
through an array of goons, gang members and other Black Warrior scum to free
Marian from their clutches.
