Wii Virtual Console: Yoshi, Mach Rider, Air Zonk

July 9, 2007 9:37 AM

Nintendo has released three additional Virtual Console games to its Wii download service, in a relatively underwhelming update that seems to be part of the early week's calm before the intense E3 storm.

Virtual Console has been stocked with the obscure NES puzzler Yoshi, from eventual Pokemon developer Game Freak, for 500 Wii Points ($5); Nintendo's early NES motorcycle combat game Mach Rider, for 500 Wii Points ($5); and Red Company's slightly oddly named Air "Zonk," a sidescrolling shooter followup to the studio's Bonk's Adventure series, for 600 Wii Points ($6).

Check out last week's reviews of Namco's Dragon Spirit, Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. 2, and Novatrade's Ecco: The Tides of Time.

Oh Mach Rider, such fond memories of thee. You were one of the first games I owned for my long missed NES. How joyful it makes me to learn of your reappearance on the virtual console. Soon I will be cruising along; turning Quadrunners into exploding pixels, while humming your incessant, infectious theme. Maybe I'll even complete one of those custom tracks that eluded my lack of patience as a child, especially since I can save them now.
