As is the Monday custom, Nintendo has released new classic games for the Wii's Virtual Console. They are:

  • Gradius III (SNES, 800 Wii Points)
  • Wonder Boy in Monster World (Genesis, 800 Wii Points)
  • Battle Lode Runner (TurboGrafx 16, 600 Wii Points)

All three titles will go up at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, at which point Wii owners with a broadband Internet connection can purchase them with Wii Points in the Wii Shop Channel. Wii Points are currently available at a rate of about 100 Points for US$1.
