Nintendo has announced the newest retro games hitting the Wii Shop today, 12/31/07 at 9 AM PST. The following three games will be available:

BUBBLE BOBBLE (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): BUBBLE BOBBLE’s release in 1986 introduced the two bubble dragons, Bub and Bob, and brand new play mechanics, with players defeating enemies by trapping them in bubbles and then popping them. Although the puzzle-action game can be beaten by clearing all 100 rounds, it also contains secret elements such as not being able to get the “true ending” in single-player mode; hidden commands that lead to secret rounds; and a ton of different items. These elements are some of the game’s most memorable and important features. Each round even has different air currents that are not visible, so bubbles rise in unpredictable patterns. Aspects like forcing players to understand and utilize these different patterns while playing help make this a revolutionary game that is fun to play anytime.

Light Crusader (Genesis, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone-Animated Violence, 800 Wii Points): Each day, more good townspeople of Green Row have been mysteriously disappearing, and beleaguered King Weeden summons the knight Sir David to investigate. Armed with his wits and his sword, Sir David must find the cause of this strange evil and save the citizens of Green Row before things get any worse. Take the role of the brave knight in this action RPG and get to the bottom of the mysteries of Green Row as you fight enemies, solve puzzles and use your best combination of brains and brawn to save the kingdom.

TOP HUNTER (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and older-Cartoon Violence, 900 Wii Points): Take on the role of either Roddy or Cathy, bounty hunters in this side-scrolling action game set far in the future when humans have colonized space. But all is not well: Space pirates called the Klaptons are making their way through the galaxies, wiping out peaceful settlements along their path. This disgraceful behavior leads to them having a price on their heads, so now Roddy and Cathy must travel through four distinct worlds on a mission to defeat their leader, Captain Klapton. Both characters have retractable arms-used to grab enemies or other objects in the scenery-that can then be thrown at others to destroy them. Also, be on the lookout for rings or levers to pull, as this might reveal special bonuses. Further adding to the mix, the game uses a unique system where the action happens on two planes, with the player switching between them at will. Can you prove yourself worthy of the Top Hunter name and help save the universe?

Another Monday another VC update. Check out the list below gamers and let us know what you’re downloading:

Blades Of Steel - NES - 500 Wii Points
With stick in hand and confidence brimming, you are looking to bring home the cup, win the MVP award, get on the covers of major sports magazines and date a beautiful model (not necessarily in that order). So strap on blades of steel and prepare to either make a name for yourself or be put on ice.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble - SNES - 800 Wii Points
The Kremlings have a mysterious new leader named KAOS and are up to their usual mischief, even capturing Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Now it’s up to Dixie Kong and the newest Kong, a giant infant named Kiddy, to rescue the two missing apes. Anyone else have a sudden urge for some bananas?

Rolling Thunder 2 - Genesis - 800 Wii Points
In this follow-up to the original classic, you are once again a member of Interpol’s Rolling Thunder task force, and it’s up to you to stop the return of the evil Geldra organization. Use your bullets wisely and make Rolling Thunder proud.

Quick Update: At 9:00am Pacific, gamers in North America (that’s me), will get a chance to download Wrecking Crew for NES, Sonic 3D Blast for Genesis and Super Air Zonk for TG-16.

Anyone planning on downloading any of these titles? Personally I am going to skip all 3 of these….None of them catches my fancy.

As of today, Monday Oct. 1st, American gamers will be able to download Sin and Punishment (N64) AND Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels. Both titles, previous to this announcement, were Japan only and are now welcomed with open arms into an eager American public.

Sin and Punishment was long overdue for a NA release and it’s really nice to see that we got Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels as well.

The NES title will cost you 600 points and the N64 game weighs in at 1200 points. What do you guys think?
