This week sees 2 new games hitting the Virtual Console, one NES, one TurboGrafx 16. I can’t say that the two new releases have me as excited as Lylat Wars did a few weeks ago, but that’s probably because I’m too wrapped up in Pokemon Diamond to care!

NES

• NES Open Tournament Golf

TurboGrafx 16

• Ninja Spirit

Here’s what Nintendo Europe had to say about the new titles in their bundled press release:

TEE OFF ON THE GREEN BEFORE TAKING TO THE ROOFTOPS WITH VIRTUAL CONSOLE

11th May 2007 – Joining the Virtual Console line up this week is the 1992 NES Golf simulator NES Open Tournament Golf™. Starring our favourite heroes Mario and Luigi, this game allows players to tee off over three international courses in Stroke Play, Match Play or Tournament modes. In this innovative title players can use the overhead map to line-up their shots before switching to the action and taking their swing. NES Open Tournament Golf™ is available for 500 Wii Points.

Action fans will be delighted to be able to don their ninja outfits and take to the shadows in Turbografx action-platformer Ninja Spirit. Taking on the role of a lone warrior out to avenge his father’s death, players must master their shadow powers through seven stages of non-stop action. Ninja Spirit is available now for 600 Wii Points.

These great games will join the list of 85 classic titles already available for the Virtual Console in Europe. Virtual Console titles are being enjoyed around the world and by the end of March 2007; approximately 3.3 million games had been downloaded globally.

Check back very soon when we give our impressions of these “new” Virtual Console titles in our Virtual Console Archive.
