Three new titles added to the Wii Shopping Channel
By Colin Geddes

February 5, 2007 – I distinctly remember posting news that The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was released two weeks ago. North American Wii fanboys were rejoicing the release of this highly anticipated title. A week later, Mario Kart 64 was released to the praises of Wii fanatics. Mario Kart 64 was another highly anticipated title, arguably even moreso than The Legend of Zelda for SNES. Two weeks later the Wii Shop Channel receives three new titles including another biggie Super Mario World. The two other titles that are likely to be overshadowed are Vigilante and Gain Ground.

During the first three months of the Nintendo Wii being released, many Wii owners complained about the virtual consoles’ lack of selection and the questionable quality of games. Much has changed over the past three weeks. Nintendo has pulled out some big guns with The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart 64, and now Super Mario World.

One would be wise to save his pennies during the coming weeks as more quality titles are likely to roll out. If only it were possible to get back the Wii points from impulsive virtual console purchases made by impatient consumers like myself! I’m still kicking myself for purchasing Gunstar Heroes and F-Zero simply for something new to play!
