Wii virtual console releases for this week
Two new virtual console games for download today representing both ends of time. A classic knight tale and a futuristic sports game make up this week's offering.
- King's Knight (1986, NES, 500
Wii points): Battle your way through five stages of ruthless enemies as you try to free the princess from her capture.
- Powerball (1991, Sega Genesis, 800 Wii points): Control one of eight futuristic teams in Powerball. The game is more like a combination of rugby and football played on a normal 100-yard field.
