Alex Kidd, Bravoman, and Galaga on VC this Monday

When it comes to the Nintendo Wii, we just love Mondays. As you might know by now, it’s the time of the week where the Virtual Console (VC) gets updated and our favorite classic video games become available for download. Over the course of this week, we’ve had several rumors on various titles and come Monday, we get to confirm them.

Anyway, we will stop mumbling now as we well know that it won’t ease your anticipation. Below are three classics for platforms Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), TurboGrafx 16, and Sega Genesis with their corresponding price in Wii points. They should be up on VC by 9 a.m. Pacific Time.

• Galaga (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Players control their fighters, with their unique ability to combine with other fighters and shoot down the invading aliens. Aliens attack in formations using a variety of attack patterns. Rescue a captured fighter to combine with it, forming a Dual Fighter with twice the firepower. Earn Perfect Bonuses more easily by using a Dual Fighter on the Challenging Stages
• BRAVOMAN (Turbografx 16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): The village of Nitta has been invaded by the army of Dr. Bomb, an evil scientist who is plotting to take over the world. Facing this crisis is Bravoman, who received his powers from Alpha Man to stand up against Dr. Bomb in the name of justice.
• Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): As Alex, players race to his rescue through 11 levels, battling enemies and avoiding obstacles while winning coins that will buy special items and vehicles. At the end of each level, players encounter a boss and enter into a match of “Rock, Paper, Scissors.” Throwing the right symbols puts players ever closer to bringing King Thor home.

Enjoy these classic games, but make sure to catch the releases next week (same time Monday again, perhaps?) on the Virtual Console. Don’t you just love Mondays?
