New Virtual Console Titles Rated

Nov 9, 2006

Here in the US the Entertainment Software Rating Board rates video games based on their content and then publishers include little ESRB rating stickers on the game packaging to better inform consumers about the content they're buying. The ESRB makes their ratings public after they make a decision which is usually moot because developers are already talking about their games before the ESRB rates them. Not so in the case of Wii Virtual Console titles - Nintendo is going back and getting ratings for all these rereleased games (the ESRB was only created in 1994) and so we get a sneak peak of what virtual console games may come! In the past two days the ESRB has released TWO batches of VC games that have all been rated "E for Everyone." Expect to see them on a Wii near you soonish! Here they are:

Duck Hunt
Hogan's Alley
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Pilot Wings
Pro Wrestling
Punch-Out
Wild Gunman
Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Kirby's Super Star
Mario Kart 64
Starfox 64
Super Metroid
Kirby's Dream Land 3
The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
Excitebike
Ice Climber
Dr. Mario
Mario Brothers
Ice Hockey
Soccer
