Nintendo und Lucas Arts veröffentlichen die Super Star Wars-Trilogie auf der Virtual Console.
Heute wurde in Amerika Super Star Wars veröffentlicht, während Nintendo bestätigte, dass noch mehr von Star Wars kommen werde.
Wer kennt nicht dieses Monster...
Sowohl Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back als auch Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi werden in den nächsten Wochen auf die VC kommen. Jedes der drei Super Star Wars-Spele wird für 800 Wii-Punkte erhältlich sein.
Obwohl keine anderen Titel angekündigt wurden, verspricht Nintendo mehr Lucas Arts-Spiele in der Zukunft für die Virtual Console.
Zudem wird es in den diversen anderen Kanälen Nintendos viel Star Wars-Stoff geben: So wird etwa im Everybode Votes-Channel die Frage auftauchen, ob Han Solo oder Greedo zuerst geschossen haben; im Wettbewerbskanal wird es Wettbewerbe geben, in welchen man eine Figur aus Star Wars nachbilden muss.

Multiple LucasArts Super Nintendo Games Head to Virtual Console
REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 10, 2009 - Fans of Star Wars® and classic Nintendo games will want to keep an eye on their Wii Shop Channel for the next month. Nintendo will be releasing multiple LucasArts favorites for Virtual Console, starting today with Super Star Wars®. In the coming weeks, both Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back® and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi® will be added to the Virtual Console lineup. All three Super Star Wars games were originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and will be available at 800 Wii Points each.
The arrival of the first three games will be accompanied by additional Star Wars-themed content on other Wii channels throughout the week. The Check Mii Out Channel will invite people to submit their best Mii character renditions of classic Star Wars characters. On the Everybody Votes Channel, users can cast their votes to help settle old debates, such as the proper order to watch the six Star Wars films, and who fired first - Han Solo or Greedo?
"Our expanded partnership with LucasArts brings the Star Wars and Nintendo universes together," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "These three Super Star Wars games represent fantastic additions to the growing Virtual Console library, and the exclusive Star Wars content on the other Wii Menu channels is sure to have people from different generations having fun and interacting with one another."
"Virtual Console on Wii is a great way to make these games available to our fans again, and it's an awesome opportunity to expose our classic console titles to an entirely new audience," said Darrell Rodriguez, president of LucasArts.
Additional classic LucasArts games for Virtual Console will be announced in the future.[/quote]
