The old classic, Adventure Island, is now coming to the Wii in downloadable form. Originally made for the NES, this game now costs 500 Wii Points to download to your system. The game was rated E for everyone, so expect a lot of downloads in the next couple of weeks from the hardcore old-school gamers.

The game is based in a dodgy island paradise, Adventure Island, where the evil Witch Doctor has abducted Tina, the one and only love of Master Haggins. Now, heres where the game gets interesting, and hard.

According to some new statistics released by Nintendo and Sony, the once large gap between the Wii and PS3 is now shrinking. The Wii, as we all know, was leading in sales since it first came out, but now the PS3’s sales are speeding up, and it is quickly catching up to the Wii.

Market analysts say that if the PS3 continues to climb at this rate, it will soon overtake the Wii. This kind of comeback has only been witnessed before in the story of the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, in which the Sony PSP was leading until the DS came back and won fans over.

Exit Games’ Neutron multiplayer platform will enable players to get connected and play with each other using their mobile phone, browser, PC, Wii or even PS3. Sounds like a good deal? Yes indeed. “Cross-platform connectivity enables our customers to build game communities that reach over three billion devices, making Neutron a much anticipated multiplayer solution for true mass market casual gaming,” said Harald Behnke, Exit Games’ CEO.

‘It is starting to look good for online gaming now days hopefully we see some voice chat for the Wii soon!
