Paper Mario and Air Zonk zooming and folding to Europe VC

Two new titles are now up on Europe’s retro video games list on Wii’s Virtual Console. On the spotlight this week is Paper Mario and Air “Zonk”.

Okay, so Paper Mario isn’t so retro, as it was released on the Nintendo 64 in 2001, but you’ve got to admit that it is a must have. If you aren’t so familiar with the title, Paper Mario from Intelligent Systems featured 2D characters in a 3D setting. As usual, Bowser is up to his dastardly deeds again. He kidnaps the seven Star Spirits and Princess Peach, and steals the Star Rod. Of course, you know the drill: do everything possible to rescue the princess!

The other title on Europe’s VC list this week is Air “Zonk”, originally on the Turbografx 16 back in 1992. It’s side-scrolling shooter where players get to where the shoes of the hero, Zonk to stop the evil King Drool. Well, a whole lot of anthropomorphic bosses are standing in between you and your mission so you better not laugh at the face of a talking battleship or a bouncing trash bag. There are three difficulty levels in the game (sweet, spicy, and hot) so you can quite literally, choose your flavor.

Air “Zonk” is available for 600 Wii Points while you can get Paper Mario for 1000 Wii Points. There haven’t been any announcements as to when Paper Mario will fold its way to North American VC, but we’ll keep you posted on that.
