Just two releases today, but at least one of them should make a lot of people happy! Check out the two cult classics now available from the Wii Shop Channel:
StarTropics – NES – 1990- 500 Wii Points
Find out just how resourceful you can be in this classic game, with its mixture of adventure and RPG elements. Step into the shoes of Mike Jones, a teenage star pitcher from Seattle who has come to the tropics to visit his famous archaeologist uncle, Dr. Jones. After being told that his uncle has been abducted, Mike begins a perilous quest in order to rescue him and figure out the mysterious plot behind his disappearance. (Developed by Nintendo)
The King Of Fighters ‘94 – NEOGEO – 1994 – 900 Wii Points
As the first game in the long-running King Of Fighters series, The King Of Fighters ‘94 brought together popular characters from other well-known franchises and pitted them against each other. Match warriors from Fatal Fury against favorites from its sister series, Art of Fighting. (Developed by SNK)

Awesome to see the KOF series, but I’m going to wait for a later edition of the game.
Don’t know much about Star Tropics, is it good?

Star tropics is realy fun so far but i have not finished it yet. It’s an adventure game but much of the gameplay is focused around puzzle solving.

747 ftw!
Startropics is one of my favorite games ever. And can you imagine a better game for the wii?? I want to fling a yo-yo with a wii-mote! This game had action, adventure, and great puzzles. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Please Nintendo! Bring back Startropics! The slugger from Seattle is long overdue another sequel!

I’ve been looking forward to Startropics for the VC for a while now. Finally, something to use my 2400 saved up Wii points on!

They are re-relasing the KOF series for the PS2 under a series of compilations, so I don’t think that buying just the VC original would be worth the trouble. Especially when KOF XI is quite cheap ATM.

I’ve been waiting ever since for Star Tropics to come to VC
