Capcom Classics Coming To Wii Virtual Console
If the announcement of the retro-packed Mega Man Universe didn’t deliver enough classic, arcade goodness, we’ve got more for you. Capcom is going to start unleashing their arcade classics via Nintendo’s downloadable service.
The first release is SonSon, which originally hit greasy pizza joints in 1984. Predictably, the game is about a monkey boy fighting his way to the statue of Buddha while fighting rats, bats, and bombers. Also, he shoots fireballs. It supports two players.
SonSon can be yours for 800 Wii Points this summer, followed by regular additions of other classic Capcom arcade titles.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
