Yet another two games were added to the North American Virtual Console today, and both aren't the first games of their respective series.
The first game in this batch of two is
Adventures of Lolo 2 for the NES. Like it's
predecessor, it is a puzzle game, although it seems not much was changed from the first game.
The second game is yet another Street Fighter;
Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. This is the SFII game that introduced Fei Long, T.Hawk, Cammy and Dee Jay as playable characters.
As always, the games go live at Noon EST, 9 AM PST. Keep track of the latest VC releases in the new 2008 edition of
What's New on VC? in the
Virtual Console forum.
Let's take a quick personality test. Are you the type of person who likes to solve problems by analyzing clues, collecting information and methodically reaching your goal? Or are you more the type to thrust a double-footed kick into someone's face and follow it with a few body blows? Your answers to those questions should help you decide which popular game to choose this week.
Nintendo adds new games to the Wii™ Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time 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:
ADVENTURES OF LOLO 2 (NES®, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Lolo and Lala are back in this sequel to the popular puzzle game THE ADVENTURES OF LOLO. On their return from the Haunted Castle, the Great Devil kidnaps Lala and challenges Lolo to rescue her again. Now he must take on the challenge of the Great Devil's Tower and Castle mazes. Fortunately, Lala was able to analyze each of the mazes as she was taken to the tower and left clues in the Jewel Boxes in each room. Each Jewel that Lolo collects contains information that will help him in the next room. In order to succeed, he'll also have to push tiles, pick up Heart Framers, temporarily turn enemies into Eggs with his Magic Shots and ward off enemy attacks by moving Emerald Framers. With your help, Lolo and Lala will work together to escape the Great Devil's clutches and defeat him.
SUPER STREET FIGHTER™ II: THE NEW CHALLENGERS (Super NES®, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen - Violence, 800 Wii Points): When SUPER STREET FIGHTER II: THE NEW CHALLENGERS debuted, the fighting-game genre was forever changed.

Street Fighter, eh? I never got 'The New Challengers' game, but the original for the SNES, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Cammy is one of my top/favorite characters, though, so I may get this game after all.
