Every Monday for over two years Nintendo has introduced new downloadable games and applications for the Wii console. And today marks a milestone for the Virtual Console section of the Wii Shop Channel, home of some of the greatest titles in video game history.
Classic videogame The Legend of Zelda: Majora s Mask becomes the 300th Virtual Console title available for download. It s one of the highest-rated Nintendo 64 games of all time, and its three-day time cycle and darker storyline offer players a different experience than a traditional Zelda game. People who played it years ago can relive their gaming roots, while those who never picked it up can discover its fun and charm for the first time.
There are also two new WiiWare games coming to download through your Wii.
Crystal Defenders R2
In Crystal Defenders R2, you must deploy various units, such as Fencers and Black Mages, to stop waves of encroaching monsters from escaping the area with your party s crystals. There are many types of units to choose from: Some specialize in powerful short-range attacks, some wield far-reaching magicks and still others are equipped with bows, enabling them to bring down aerial foes. Deploy units in strategic locations to take full advantage of their traits.
Silver Star Chess
A multiplayer chess game for the Wii. Silver Star Chess has two modes: 1 player and 2 player. 1 player mode allows you to play a chess match against the computer opponent. 2 player mode allows you to play against another person.
