European Wii owners have another three titles to download from the Virtual Console. In the first, Galaga, players control a spaceship moving left and right at the bottom of the screen, and shoot at the oncoming hordes of aliens. Different colours of aliens are worth varying amounts of points, and gamers can advance to the next level when all of them have been defeated.

The one- or two-player classic space-themed shooter was originally released in 1981, and has been available on a variety of different platforms over the years--and it can now be downloaded for 500 Wii points.

Also now available is Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, originally launched on the Super Nintendo in 1992, the platform game is the sequel to titles Ghosts 'N Goblins, and Ghouls 'N Ghosts. Players control the Knight Arthur, who is battling to save his girlfriend, Princess Prin-Prin. Super Ghouls and Ghosts costs 800 Wii points.

Finally, TurboGrafx title Double Dungeons, originally released in 1990, is also up for grabs. One or two players explore 22 dungeons, killing enemies and earning gold and experience points in classic RPG style. Double Dungeons weighs in at 600 Wii points.
