Virtual Console Sees Paper, Balloons, Debuggers

July 16, 2007 9:57 AM

Wii's Virtual Console is stocked with one of its most heavily awaited games today as it gains Nintendo's late-era Nintendo 64 RPG classic Paper Mario, a semi-sequel to the Square/Nintendo SNES collaboration Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Playable with either the GameCube controller or the Wii's classic controller, it is available for 1000 Wii Points ($10).

Also released today is G-mode's Silent Debuggers, a light gun-esque early take on the first person shooter formula. Originally released on TurboGrafx-16 in 1991, it is available for 600 Wii Points ($6) and playable with the Wii remote, GameCube controller, or classic controller.

Finally, Nintendo released the NES version of balloon-popping platformer Balloon Fight. It sells for 500 Wii Points ($5) and works with any Wii controller.
