You hear that? That's the sound of Wii owners rejoicing. Nintendo has done all of us a huge solid, by putting together an extremely solid lineup for today's Virtual Console update.
Oxygen Games released first details on their upcoming King of Clubs. Described as an "off the wall mini-golf-based puzzler [that] requires players to use their ingenuity to play their way to victory and lucrative rewards," the game takes place across five themes of locations and over 95 holes.
The tentatively titled Kirby Adventure was originally announced back in November 2004 for the Nintendo GameCube. The game last showed up as a Wii port in a Nintendo of Japan release schedule that noted the game has been delayed into 2008.
Nintendo's recent financial reports didn't contain much in the way of surprise game announcements, as leaks are not the company's style. Documents did re-confirm, however, that the former GameCube platformer known simply as Kirby is still on track for a 2008 release in Japan. Shown at E3 2005, the game's continued development had doubt cast upon it by the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine, but it appears that HAL Laboratory is still hard at work on the next console Kirby.
See what's coming in the week ahead for the PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP and DS. New hardware too: red God of War PSP and Metal Gear branded bluetooth headset.
