I know this is about a week or two late but for those of you Wii owners that haven't noticed 3 awesome classic games were made available to download on the Wii Shopping Channel on December 24, 2007. Here are a list and the descriptions:

Blades of Steel (originally released on the NES, 1-2 players, it is rated E for Everyone --Mild Violence--, costs 500 Wii Points) --
Strap on your Blades of Steel and be prepared to either make a name for yourself or be put on ice. You're looking to make a name for yourself, gain an MVP award, get a hot supermodel girlfriend and get on the covers of all major magazines. But in order to do all that you must first defend your goal from unrelenting opponents and be able to give back a slap shot of your own. Don't forget to defend yourself when anger starts to flare up because once the gloves come off the fists will start flying.

Rolling Thunder 2 (originally released on the Genesis, 1-2 players, it is rated E for Everyone --Violence--, costs 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. The evil organization, now known as Neo-Geldra, is led by a newcomer named Gimdo and the bad guys are bent on destroying several valuable outer-space satellites. You can play as Leila or Albatrossboth characters from the originalas you venture through several different levels, trying to put a stop to the nefarious efforts of Gimdo and the rest of Neo-Geldra. Use your bullets wisely and make Rolling Thunder proud.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (originally released on the Super NES, 1-2 players, it is rated E for Everyone, costs 800 Wii Points) --
Revisit Donkey Kong Island and join the Kong family for their latest adventure. 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. They'll travel across previously unseen parts of the island in their search, and even take to the skies in a rocket at one point. Lucky for them, Dixie and Kiddy's powers complement each other (including Kiddy's talent for rolling like a barrel), so they form a powerful team capable of major Kremling damage. And in a series known for its abundance of secrets and high replay value, this entry doesn't disappoint, with enough hours of game play to satisfy Donkey Kong himself.

Wii owners don't forget that every Monday new game downloads are made available in the Wii Shop Channel. So check it out and game it up with some classic games!
