VC 4/23 News Release

I'm waiting for Super Metroid. I have it for SNES but my battery died and it doesn't carry any saves... :cry:Mac8457

I'm waiting for it to. Though my brother sold my copy way back when... 

Lode Runner does not interest me, but Gradius III is the one I should grab tonight. I never heard of Wonderboy in my life, I will think about it depending on what people say it is like.alpax

Wonder Boy FTW!!!

Wonder Boy is a platformer with RPG elements.

April 23, 2007 - Admit it. Somewhere deep inside, you've always wanted to go for the gold, take down Monster World, and have people call you Vic Viper. How cool would that be? Well, pay a visit to the popular WiiTM video game system's Wii Shop Channel, and all those fantasies can now come true.

Three new clas-sic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii PointsTM to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:

Gradius®III (SNES®, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points):  Return as the pilot of the Vic Viper starfighter to battle the onslaughts of the Bacterion Empire. Blast through 10 action-packed levels in space, destroying everything in your path. Customize and power up your ship with weapons and upgrades including speed-ups, missiles, lasers, options, and shields.

Wonder BoyTM in Monster World (Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Monster World was a peaceful, happy place until one dark day when an army of BioMeka monsters invaded. As a young man named Shion, you've vowed to defeat the hostile foes and make the land peaceful again. You'll attack enemies with swords and spears and guard against incoming projectiles with shields and armor. As you travel through the many different regions of Monster World, you'll talk to the townspeople, collect money to buy items, and gather a large variety of weapons and magic. The further you venture, the more powerful your weapons and equipment, including suits of armor and boots, will become.

Battle Lode Runner® (TurboGrafx 16, 1-5players, 600 Wii Points): This upgraded edition to the famous Lode Runner series includes a 5-player versus mode. Gold funds have been stolen from the Time Machine Research Center, and the group responsible used a time machine to escape and hide the gold throughout time. The center sends an elite team of "Runners" to go and retrieve the gold.

In addition to the familiar Puzzle mode, the game features Battle mode, where up to 5 players can compete, and Edit mode, where you can create your own original stages.

You can enjoy Battle mode in a number of different ways. Be the last one standing to win in Survival. Grab items from enemies and escape to win in Escape. With 4 players, you can separate into two teams to do battle in Tag Match.

They didnt mark Gradius III as a new game.  :?

I've noticed that too when I was on there to buy the game. I guess it was a mistake on Nintendo's part not marking Gradius III as new, but maybe later they'll catch it and change it.
