Wii Virtual Console mixes the batter up for NES classics Yoshi's Cookie and Bases Loaded

Monday April 14, 2008
Although this week's Wii Virtual Console classic re-releases are completely different style games, they do still have a lot in common. Not only did they both originate on the Nintendo Entertainment System, but they also feature some of America's favorite pastime, baseball and eating cookies!
  • Yoshi's Cookie - Original Release: 1992, Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System – Classic puzzle game that features more Mario than everyone's favorite dinosaur. Help Chef Mario keep the Yoshi Cookie factory running by lining up matching up lines of matching cookies as they roll off the assembly line. Unlike Tetris, you can control if the cookie line approaches from the top or side.
  • Bases Loaded - Original Release: 07/1988, Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System – The first title in the Bases Loaded series that was also the first Baseball Video Game to try and emulate the TV experience, even down to the pitcher goading the batter. Although baseball titles have become more realistic than ever before, Bases Loaded was the genres major league of its day.
