Nintendic New games released for Virtual Console

Today Nintendo has added four more Virtual Console games to the Wii Shop channel and they will be releasing more games every Monday for the time being. A list is available after the jump.
Today s titles aren t really that big or highly anticipated but can still be quite fun for the enthusiasts.

To download one or more of them just head to your Wii Shop Channel or if you haven t got enough Wii Points you might want to get some first at the same Wii Shop Channel or you could get some at a local retail outlet. This week s additions are: Ice Hockey, Gunstar Heroes, Dr. Robotnik s Mean Bean Machine and Alien Crush.

Ice Hockey (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Ice Hockey is hard-hitting, fast-action competition that re-creates all the excitement of the sport from faceoffs to penalty shots. Players pass the puck and shoot to score while using defensive tactics, including fake shots and ice brawls to crush adversaries. It s up to the player to find the best strategy to win the game – finesse or power.

Gunstar Heroes (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): The Gunstar 9 planet was peaceful for many years until the vicious dictator, Colonel Red, kidnapped the Gunstar twins older brother and used mind control to make him his slave. Players face many different enemies and bosses while battling to stop the dictator from unleashing Golden Silver the Destructor with apocalyptic consequences.
Dr.

Robotnik is stamping out music and fun in Mobius with his giant robotizing Mean Bean Steaming Machine. Before he turns all the citizens of Beanville into robots, players must save the day by gathering up beans in matching colors and defeating Robotnik s guards.
Alien Crush (TuboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): Alien Crush is a fan-favorite pinball game that features a sinister sci-fi theme.

Play through a two-level playing field that comes to life with pulsating alien creatures. Rack up a high enough score, clear the board of these extraterrestrials and discover secret bonus stages. The game features realistic pinball action, complete with a tilt function and two selectable soundtracks.

Do you have what it takes to fight back against this alien infestation?
See you next Monday with hopefully more games of Nintendo s own portfolio.
