Wario Land II heads this week's European downloads
Posted 17 Jul 2012 at 16:53 by Aaron Clegg
This week's European downloads have been announced, and it's once again a veritable smorgasbord across all Nintendo platforms.
The major new addition is classic Game Boy platformer Wario Land II on the 3DS Virtual Console. A bit of trivia: the 1998 title was the last first-party game to be produced for the original Game Boy, and it was soon after remade for the Game Boy Colour.
Retro fans should also divert their attention towards Wii as well, with 20-year-old beat 'em up Double Dragon II getting a re-release on Virtual Console.
There is also another batch of DLC for Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy. The full list is below, and expect the goods to be available from Thursday afternoon.
