Can you see Ninjas on your Wii this week?
They say that if you can see a Ninja, you're already dead. But this week's Virtual Console releases in Europe and the UK seem to prove that wrong as Nintendo host the second week of the Japanese Hanabi Festival - Ninja Week!
The Hanabi Festival is a three-week celebration on Virtual Console where European Wii gamers will be introduced to games not originally released outside America and Japan. As it was a Mario theme last time, this week's offering has enough shurikens and grapplehooks to keep you in the ninja game for a while!
First up this week is Ninja Gaiden (NES - 1989). Players take on the role of Ryu Hayabusa on a quest, looking for his missing father. This game is famed for its cinematic-style presentation and action. This is the original US release and is 600 Wii Points.
Ninja JaJaMaru-Kun (Famicom - 1985), meaning 'determined little ninja' also joins the foray. This action-platformer was very popular in Japan when originally released. Players in Ninja JaJaMaru-Kun battle their way to the top of multiple stages, dispatching enemies by throwing stars and continuing their quest to save Princess Sakura from the wicked Lord Namazu. Ninja JaJaMaru-Kun is 600 Wii Points.
If all this ninja stuff simply ain't your baby baby, the sports title World Class Baseball (Turbografx) is also out this week. It allows players to choose from a selection of twelve different teams before competing against a friend or the computer to become the ultimate baseball champ. World Class Baseball is 600 Wii Points.
So, everything this week is 600 Wii points, then. Oh! Don't forget that the last day you can buy the Lost Levels of Super Mario Bros. is 30th September, after which it'll be gone for ever.
