Today Nintendo of Europe and Australia added new classic games to the popular Wii Shop Channel. The games are: Mario Golf (N64) and Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Sega Master System).
As we live through the nostalgia of celebrating the 20th anniversaries of the system's best releases, it's a great time to revisit the Game Boy Color and play some old and new favorites! (As well as some original Game Boy releases celebrating their 30th!)
"The Adventure Island and Wonder Boy series have a long shared history so let's explore both franchises and see which one's best." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

You could argue that the best part of many of the Mario sports titles is that they bring goofy, lighthearted aspects to those pastimes. Games like Super Mario Strikers and Mario Hoops: 3 on 3 all make dramatic changes to the sports they're portraying, capturing the attention of players who might not be interested in the sport alone. That being said, Mario Golf was effectively Mario's first foray into the world of professional sport - aside from Mario's Tennis on Virtual Boy - and is a much more sombre, serious take on the sport than many of his later games. Golf fans may find themselves enjoying the game's take on the sport, but anyone looking for Mario's unique brand of sports fun might not find much to get excited over.
