Samurai Shodown Hits Wii Virtual Console

The Wii Virtual Console is home to a few great fighting games, even if the Nintendo Wii itself is terribly lacking in that department. If you’re tired of playing Street Fighter II over and over again, head on over to your Wii and buy some SNK-flavored swordplay in the form of Samurai Shodown.

Review: Art of Fighting on the Wii Virtual Console

The Wii Virtual Console is opening up the floodgates to some exceptionally excellent classic fighting games.
