The Wii Shop Channel has dug into the annals of video games and brought out two tiles which smell retro. One is an original work of 8-bit art while the other is a re-release of a 1980’s classic. This week the Wii Shop Channel is brining BIT.TRIP BEAT (Gaijin Games) on WiiWare and Summer Games II (Epyx, Commodore 64) on Virtual Console. The former title is available for download for 600 Wii points ($6) and the latter is going for 500 Wii Points ($5).
BIT.TRIP BEAT is a rhythm game meant for 1-4 players. Players are required to wield Wii Remote to bounce beats. Adorned with retro-visuals and classic 8-bit soundtrack, this title on WiiWare would surely attract fans of the oldies.
Summer Games II is a game from sports genre originally released on the Commodore 64 in 1985. Meant for 1-8 players, this title calls upon players to compete in different Olympic disciplines including: cycling, equestrian, fencing, high jump, javelin, kayaking, rowing and triple jump.
