News: Mario Golf Hits Virtual Console
Posted 23 Jan 2009 at 10:52 by Tom Phillips
Two new Virtual Console games for download this week, one from the N64, one from the Master System...
Another Friday afternoon in Europe and with the weekend finally upon us all, its time to kick back, relax, and get downloading! The first of this week's offerings will no doubt be familiar to many from the N64 era - the classic that is Mario Golf. Long before Wii Sports, this golfing sim ruled the roost with six courses, ten modes and fourteen playable characters from the Mushroom Kingdom. It's available now for 1000 Points.
Also available is 1987 Master System title Wonder Boy in Monster Land, originally an arcade game where you must help the titular lad save the day in a dragon-filled platform adventure. It's available for 500 Wii Points.
All in all that makes 274 Virtual Console titles now available in Europe. And of course these latest two will be reviewed by our resident Virtual Console guru Sam in the next issue of VC Weekly, coming very soon!
