The Legend of Kage (NESĀ®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): This classic ninja-action game first appeared in arcades in 1985 and became instantly popular. As the Iga ninja named "Kage," players embark on an action-packed quest as they move toward a magic castle where the Princess "Kiri" is held captive by "Yohshirou Yukikusa." To stay alive, players move vertically and horizontally through forest and castle environments and execute massive jumps, all the while using throwing-star knives and a sword to take down hordes of enemies.

New Adventure Island (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): On peaceful Adventure Island, the islanders are celebrating the wedding of Master Higgins and Tina, the "Miss Island Queen." Suddenly, the celebration is interrupted by the appearance of Baron Bronsky and his henchmen, who kidnap Tina and the island children. Master Higgins must set out to rescue the children and his beloved Tina in this side-scrolling action game. Throw hatchets and boomerangs, hop on skateboards and guide Master Higgins safely to the goal in each area. New Adventure Island consists of seven exciting stages. Each stage is split into four areas, with a boss waiting at the end of the final area. Defeat all the bosses and release the kidnapped children. And waiting in the castle of the final stage - the wicked Baron Bronsky. Help Master Higgins defeat him and reclaim his bride.

Streets of Rageā„¢ (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): The city was once a happy, peaceful place...until one day, a powerful secret criminal organization took over. This vicious syndicate soon had control of the government and even the police force. The city has become a center of violence and crime where no one is safe. Amid this turmoil, a group of determined young police officers has sworn to clean up the city. Among them are Adam Hunter, Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding. They've decided to put their lives on the line and take back their city through their special hand-to-hand combat abilities. They are willing to risk anything, even their lives, on the Streets of Rage.

Donkey Kongā„¢ Country (Super NESĀ®, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Donkey Kong Country is an incredible island adventure, and the first game to feature Donkey Kong's sidekick, Diddy KongĀ®. Challenged by the crazed tribe of reptilian Kremlings, the Kongs face their cunning adversaries armed with lightning-quick moves, chest-pounding muscle and awesome aerial acrobatics. The duo also gets help from a host of friends and family, from Funky Kongā„¢, Cranky Kongā„¢ and Candy Kongā„¢ to Rambiā„¢ the rhino, Expressoā„¢ the ostrich, Enguardeā„¢ the swordfish, Squawks the parrot and Winky the frog. This game has more than 30 levels, plus dozens of hidden caves and secret rooms - more than 100 areas in all. Help the Kongs recover their stolen banana hoard!

So they are releasing DKC today? I wish I was more excited about it, but I found my old SNES cartridge a couple of weeks ago. And as my SNES still works perfectly there is no reason for me to download it.

Out of the other three games I've only played Streets of Rage and I barely remember it. I won't be rushing out to purchase a new Wii Points Card this week.

Well, I figured DKC would release today, but not Streets of Rage! I guess I have to buy 2000 points now instead of justĀ  1000.Ā  Oh well! Let the fun begin...at about 2 when I get off work!

I can't believe no one here is mentioning The Legend of Kage...I had this when I was younger and my lil bro and i would spend hrs.on this game. Simple and repetitive but great back in the day. I've had my wii since early December andĀ I think i may actually purchase my first vc game this week :D...Ooo DKC, LttP, & Streets of Rage sound so good.

It's still not on Nintendo's site yet. Whatever the case, 1 hour left so we'll see then.

Finally! DKC... no more complaints here. Thanks, Nintendo!

I playedĀ  Streets Of Rage 3 not too long ago and it doesn't hold up to what I used to think Streets Of Rage was. I think I'm going to pass on that one.

I'd be buying DKC if I didn't already have DKC1-3 on SNES already, Streets Of Rage however, my cartridge is busted up bad from years of poor handling, so that's definitely my next pick on VC, I really REALLY hope they release SoR 2 and 3 because I don't have those on any platform anymore (I think my older brother pawned them).

I would have loved to see the original Wonder Boy game from the Sega Master System instead of the bastardized Adventure Island, but it's still a great game. I wish SEGA and Nintendo would add the SMS to Virtual Console. It was a great console in it's time, and deserves to live again.

I don't see Donkey Kong Country on the Shopping Channel, but I do see the other three games. I'm concerned.
