Star Wars game classics coming to Virtual Console this month

Star Wars fans will want to give the Wii Shop Channel for the next month because Nintendo will be releasing multiple LucasArts classics on the Virtual Console. Starting today gamers can pick up the decidedly arcade action game classic 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?

Additional classic LucasArts games for Virtual Console will be announced in the future.
