Today Nintendo adds three new classic games to the popular Wii video
game system's Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific
time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel 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: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points):
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time reveals the genesis of the fantasy
land of Hyrule, the origin of the Triforce and the tale of the first
exploits of Princess Zelda and the heroic adventurer Link. Vibrant,
real-time 3-D graphics transport players into the fantasy world of
Hyrule. The quest takes them through dense forests and across
wind-whipped deserts. Players swim raging rivers, climb treacherous
mountains, dash on horseback across rolling hills and delve into
dungeons full of creatures that fight to the finish to put an end to
their adventures. With immersive graphics, a sweeping story line,
swashbuckling adventure, mind-bending puzzles and a touch of humor, The
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of Nintendo's most epic
challenges ever. Bio-Hazard Battle (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points):
An army of biogenetic mutants has gone haywire, terrorizing the world
and putting the future of the planet in jeopardy. In Bio-Hazard Battle,
players must take on the mutant menace and restore order and harmony to
the planet Avaron before it's too late. Through eight levels of intense
action, they'll be up against some of the nastiest, most vile creatures
they've ever seen, including things like mega amoebas, nuclear crabs,
electroworms and gut-grabbing insects. They have four different Bioship
fightercraft to choose from, each with unique handling capabilities and
weapons systems. Hop into a fightercraft and save Avaron from certain
doom in Bio-Hazard Battle.
Chew Man Fu (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points):
A novel action-puzzle game set in the sacred towers taken over by the
evil sorcerer, Chew Man Fu. It's up to an apprentice female monk to
free the towers and lift Chew's curse to bring peace and fried rice
back to the land once ruled by the Egg Roll Dynasty. The rules are
simple. The objective is to clear each round by pushing or pulling four
colored orbs onto their matching colored tiles. Beware the sorcerer's
minions in the tower who stand in the way. Players kick the orbs to
take enemies out or to break down walls. They must overcome the
obstacles and place the orbs on their respective tiles. Chew Man Fu
also features the two-player Kick Ball minigame, as well as an Edit
Mode for creating unique stages. The fun is endless.
