Nearly a month ago, Hudson announced that their TurboGrafx 16 port of the classic Falcom RPGs Ys and Ys II would come to the Wii Virtual Console. For awhile, we heard nothing more about this, despite the announcement that it would come in early August.

But today, Nintendo announced that they have added the two-for-one title Ys Book I & II to their Virtual Console download service for 800 points (8 USD).

Thanks to RPGFan board member Eusis for the heads-up. And, pardon the bias, but if you own a Wii, you had best download this genre-defining Action RPG post-haste.
