New Wii Store Additions: Gyrostarr, Alex Kidd and Burning Fight

Yesterday saw the addition of three new titles to the Wii’s online Shop Channel, offering one original title and two downloadable Virtual Console classics.
The only original game is Gyrostarr, an action game developed by High Voltage Software. Retailing for 700 Wii points, the game lets up to four players command ships through a series of “twisting, turning technoplasma” tracks while battling aliens. Ships can be enhanced, and there are pickups, high-speed bonus levels and more.
The Virtual Console store sees the addition of Alex Kidd, a platformer from the 1980s for the Sega Master System. Available for 500 Wii points, the game has players looking for their lost brother Egle, fighting the evil boss’s henchmen along the way. It’s no regular fighting, though, as players will have to challenge the bad guys to the classic game of “rock, paper, scissors” to defeat them.
Burning Fight, a side-scrolling hand-to-hand combat game, is the last addition. For 900 Wii points, you can beat up bad guys using “devastating lethal techniques,” if that’s any consolation for you. Players can obviously team up to kick even more ass.
