Majora’s Mask Crashes Into Virtual Console

We’re the last region to get The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask because Nintendo saved it as North America’s 300th Virtual Console game. Will you save Termina from impending doom before three days pass?

Link and the player inevitably face failure when they start The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. While Link can save himself by using the Ocarina of Time and going back through time, the rest of Termina’s residents suffer a terrible fate. When Link returns to Termina three days earlier the villagers treat Link as a new visitor. The dark Zelda game costs 1,000 Wii Points ($10). Note that Nintendo of America didn’t sell this game at a premium price like they did in Japan.

Crystal Defenders R2 and Silver Star Chess are the other downloadable Wii games this week. Art Style: PiCOBiTS (aka Art Style: PicoPict), a puzzle game where you match square bits with falling blocks to reveal eight bit sprites, is this week’s DSiWare game.
