Narrative puzzle action meets bloody knuckles and flying roundhouse kicks on the Virtual Console this week as Nintendo releases a dynamic downloadable duo that’s bound to appeal and all-but guaranteed to deliver. Wii Shop Channel gets two more classic titles. Credit: Capcom.

Wii Shop Channel gets two more classic titles. Credit: Capcom.First up is NES classic ‘The Adventures of Lolo 2,’ which is the sequel to popular puzzle game Adventures of Lolo. Following the finale of the first game, heroes Lolo and Lala (neither bear any relation to the Teletubbies) return from the Haunted Castle only for the evil Great Devil to once again kidnap Lala. Brave Lolo immediately sets off to tackle the many perilous puzzle-bazed challenges contained within the Great Devil’s Tower and Castle mazes, all of which stand between him and the successful rescue of poor Lala.To save Lala, who has handily left tip Jewel Boxes throughout the mazes, Lolo must push tiles, pick up Heart Framers, temporarily turn enemies into Eggs with his Magic Shots, and ward off enemy attacks by moving Emerald Framers in this exciting puzzle adventure.The Adventures of Lolo 2 is yours via the VC for a 500 Wii Points. Bargain.

Gamers who perhaps lack the patience and fortitude for the puzzle rooms in The Adventures of Lolo 2 can instead purge their desire for fast-paced 2D brawling courtesy of Capcom’s timeless 'Super Street Figher II: The New Challengers,' which first swung its flailing fists on the Super NES.Thanks to its "revolutionary combo system," SSFII: The New Challengers introduced a whole new set of appealing, muscle-strewn characters to battle alongside the likes of the original Street Fighter II cast. Specifically, while the likes of Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Sagat, and M. Bison are all present and accounted for, The New Challengers also offers players the chance to experience the skills of four fresh fighters. T. Hawk brings unrivalled strength to the party, while Deejay offers impressive kickboxing ability, Fei Long’s kung fu allows players to unleash their inner dragon, and Cammy smashes opponents with her deadly beauty.Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers costs 800 Wii Points.New additions to the expanding Virtual Console are available via a high-speed Net connection and the Wii Shop Channel. Content is added every Monday morning at 9:00am PST.
