VC Update for 6/4:
Milon's Secret Castle® (NES®, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Comic Mischief, 500 Wii Points): It is a world where music is the language of the people. An evil warlord from the north arrives and captures the castle. The princess is imprisoned deep within the castle, and the world's musical instruments are taken and hidden away. Our hero, Milon, takes it upon himself to fight the warlord, rescue the princess and recover the people's musical instruments. He has only his wits and the magical Bubble to aid him on his quest. Help Milon along the way by looking for hidden doors, finding secret items and defeating fierce enemies. Make sure to look for the shops inside the castle, where you can buy hints and valuable items. Whenever Milon finds a Music Box, he will be transported to a bonus stage. Each instrument you find will add a layer to the background music. Try to grab all seven instruments to create a performance worthy of a music-themed game.
ToeJam & Earl™ in Panic on Funkotron (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone - Comic Mischief, 800 Wii Points): During ToeJam and Earl's trip back home, a number of Earthlings hitchhiked on their spaceship and are now infesting planet Funkotron. ToeJam and Earl must track down the Earthlings in order to capture them in large jars and ship them back to Earth in spaceships. It is also their funky mission to find 10 beloved objects belonging to Lamont the "Funkapotamus," the source of all funk in the universe, so they can persuade him to return to his favorite funk-filled planet. ToeJam and Earl must use their "funk powers," such as Funk Move and Funk Scan, to assist in evading and capturing the Earthlings.
Dead Moon (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Fantasy Violence, 600 Wii Points): This side-scrolling shooter includes a total of six scenes spanning areas from Earth to the moon. The story begins with a comet discovered in the vicinity of Pluto that is headed on a sudden collision course with Earth. Mankind narrowly succeeds in diverting the comet's course, and it crashes into the moon. However, investigations into the damage uncover that what hit the moon was not a comet, but a gigantic mother ship. Power up your ship, destroy enemies and fight your way through the bosses in an attempt to reach the moon's core and protect Earth from alien invasion. Enjoy the unique world of Dead Moon, including various stages with beautiful backgrounds, a power-up system that increases your attack as well as your defense and bosses that have you altering your ship's direction to fight them.
... and the 100th game in the Wii Shop Channel:
Zelda II™ - The Adventure of Link® (NES, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Fantasy Violence, 500 Wii Points): Link returns to Hyrule to search for the Triforce and to awaken Zelda from an endless sleep. Embark on a quest to find the Triforce of Courage and save Hyrule from ruin. Learn magic spells, talk to people in towns to get clues, collect items to increase your power and explore six palaces where the underlings of the evil Ganon await you. This sequel to the Adventure classic uses a side-scrolling visual engine unique to the series for more technical combat, and features more in-depth world roaming as Link encounters townsfolk while on his quest.
ToeJam & Earl™ in Panic on Funkotron (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone - Comic Mischief, 800 Wii Points): During ToeJam and Earl's trip back home, a number of Earthlings hitchhiked on their spaceship and are now infesting planet Funkotron.

I actually recall Milon's Secret Castle. I remember that it was at least fun, but, I wouldn't spend 500 points on it... maybe 100 or 200. As far as Zelda II, I know many count this as their least or bottom 2 of the series, but it has always been one of my favorites. I got about 2/3rds through off of the comp disc that came with my GC a couple of years ago and don't know that I'll be downloading this for awhile if at all because of that.

I remember Milon's Secret Castle, too!
Why?
I have no idea. I certainly don't remember owning it, but at one point I had a ton of games, most of which I'm sure I don't remember buying now.

When I came in to work this afternoon they were stocking Wiis in the glass case. 2 hours later they were all gone. I got mines though. $240 total minus my discount and plus taxes.

I saw them for the first time in the wild last night. Wal-Mart had 4 in the case. I would bet they had more, the case could only hold that many.

Ouch! In Japan Wiis outsold PS3s 5 to 1 (DS Lites were also at a 5:1 ratio with the PS3).

I tried Kororinpa via a rental, and I think I liked it a little better than SMB, I didn't like it enough to buy.
I did preordered Mercury Meltdown, back when Amazon had it for 19.99 (unless they decide it was a "mistake" and they want to charge me more) (and it's been delayed till mid June now anyway). I like the new mechanic of losing or combining mercury.

Went into Wal-Mart the other night and happened to be looking for ink... low and behold there are 2 Wii's sitting in the case, with a little girl dutifully standing guard. The lady came with her dad and bro and opened the case... after a quick discussion with my fiance and some concessions to sell stuff on eBay, I am now the proud owner of a Wii! Also, I picked up Super Paper Mario yesterday at Sam's Club and am thouroghly enjoying it... Also I did some coinstar-ing and now I can order my 2nd controller from Amazon!
Oh, any idea if Blaster Master will ever be available on the VC?

Smash Bros to feature 4 different control schemes:
1. Wii Remote on its side
2. Wii Remote + Nunchuck
3. Classic Controller
4. Gamecube controller
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamem...various01.html
The good news about this is I actually have 4 controllers to play Smash Bros then. (Providing people don't mind playing with different control schemes)
