Europeans Earn My Envy As They Get Legend of the Mystical Ninja for Wii VC
You lucky Europeans, you! You have a couple of hits coming your way on the Virtual Console for Nintendo Wii. You start out with the legendary Punch Out!! which will cost you a measly 500 points. In addition to that, you get the TurboGrafx-16 game, Dragon's Curse (600 points).
If that weren't enough, on top of those two, you get one of my favorite games of all time...The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (800 points)...dammit! While I have the original on my SNES, I feel it should be something that everyone who owns a Wii should check out when it becomes available to them. Jeebus, I love that game. I would run all over Edo as the young and handsome Kid Yang...sometimes I let Dr. Yang get on top of me. Boy that was hawt....
For the press release along with full descriptions of the game, make 'le jump.'
PRESS RELEASE
Virtual Console Packs A Punch This Week With Three New Games For Download!
30th March, 2007- This week’s Wii Virtual Console™ line-up looks set to be a knockout! Nintendo is releasing three epic games from days gone by, starting with the comical boxing game Punch Out!!®. The player assumes the role of a rookie trying to make it in the boxing world by working his way through the ranks and embarking on numerous matches. Each fight results in repute and fame with the ultimate winner eventually earning the world champion title. Punch Out!!® is available this week for only 500 Wii points.
Also up for grabs is the SNES action adventure, The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. This action packed game sees two characters, Kid Ying and Dr. Yang, on a quest to rescue a kidnapped princess. Players must complete tasks and battle enemies in order to save our heroine and finish the quest. And if you need a helping hand, two-player mode allows players to piggyback each other to make the battling even more dynamic! The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is available for 800 Wii points.
Joining these two games on Virtual Console is the Turbografx classic, Dragon’s Curse. Originally released in 1990, Dragon’s Curse follows a warrior, who after an unfortunate run-in with a dragon becomes Lizard-Man. The object of the game is to retrieve the Salamander Cross, and become human once more. En route the player must defeat various dragon bosses in order to change his form and eventually return to a human state! Dragon’s Curse is available on Wii’s Virtual Console™ this Friday for only 600 Wii Points
These great games will join the list of 66 classic titles already available for the Virtual Console in Europe.

I was just thinking about how much I loved this game!!
::pout::
Which would all mean a lot more if I could get the effin' wifi to work.
I have that usb stick thingy and I managed to a connection once, but only for about 15 minutes and then it went down. I've not been able to get it to work properly since then.
Ah! That was the one game I posted awhile back when I think 4cr asked which games we wanted to be released on VC. I used to own it, but I left it at my ex's house long ago and never got it back.
Here's hoping it eventually makes a release here as well.
Also, seconding the Yang on Yang action ;}
