Retro Game List for Wii Posted by tone

A few short months ago it was announced that retro games would be available for download through the Wii marketplace. Yesterday the official list has been announced, along with their cost. It’s yet to be determined exactly how much 1 Wii Point will cost, but you get the idea.

NES Games (500 Wii Points)

  • Mario Bros.: Mario and Luigi punch turtles.
  • The Legend of Zelda: The original Hyrulean adventure.
  • Donkey Kong: The game that put Nintendo on the map.
  • Donkey Kong Jr.: Not quite a classic, but its cameo in Yoshi’s Island DS is pretty boss.
  • Ice Hockey: Fat guy, normal guy and skinny guy hit the ice.
  • Pinball: Mario moonlights as a paddle in this one.
  • Soccer: Another early NES sports title. About soccer!
  • Tennis: Simple but effective volley action.
  • Urban Champion: An early, and not particularly good, brawler.
  • Wario’s Woods: A falling-block puzzle game starring Wario.

SNES Games (800 Wii Points)

  • Columns: Before Bejeweled, there was Columns.
