Hang onto your hats and your Wii Remote controllers, Nintendo has unveiled another set of exciting firsts for the Wii Shop Channel this week.
For starters, the new Onslaught marks the first-ever first-person shooter to be released via the WiiWare service. Using the intuitive wireless controls Wii is known for, the game puts players at the center of a pulse-pounding adventure that fans of futuristic sci-fi and multiplayer action will love.
The other big news this week is the hotly anticipated launch of Commodore 64 game titles on Virtual Console. Starting with two classic martial arts games and an awesome car racing title, Ninendo is thrilled to add yet another old-school gaming platform to the mix. Virtual Console already offers classic games that originally appeared on a variety of platforms, and with the addition of Commodore 64, Wii owners can expect even more vintage games to rediscover and enjoy.
This weeks new games are:
- Onslaught, a futuristic FPS.
- The Last Ninja, a classic Commodore 64 title.
- International Karate, retro beat-em-up action.
- Pitstop II, the classic Commodore 64 racer.
Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 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
