And then there were two ...

What's that you say? There's only TWO Wii Virtual Console releases this week in Europe & the UK? Fiddle faddle!

We're not sure why, but for whatever reason this is the case. This week's offerings come from two retro machines - Nintendo's NES and the Turbografx (PC Engine). Firstly, Mario and Luigi strike the greens in the golf simulator, NES Open Tournament Golf (1992). Bringing up the rear for the Turbografx is something of a different genre entirely; the action title Ninja Spirit! Donning your black Ninja costume will set you back 600 Wii points, whilst swinging out the clubs on the green will only cost you a piddling 500.

Compared to last week, it feels a little quiet - golf being very much a pick-up-and-play experience and only Ninja Spirit to pick up the adventure or action line. Considering last week's offerings included several games with adventuring and even RPG elements, we think Nintendo can be forgiven for balancing it off with this week.
