European Wii & 3DS Virtual Console set to dish out games a plenty this March.

You might have thought we’d seen the last of Wii’s Virtual Console. But thankfully it seems this won’t be the case, with the European (and therefore Australian) Wii and 3DS Virtual Console services receiving quite a few releases over the coming month.

Some of the more exciting releases for the Wii are Strider (Megadrive), Mega Man 5 (NES) and Mega Man X (SNES). 3DS owners can also continue the build-up to Kid Icarus: Uprising, with its predecessor, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Gameboy) finding its way to Virtual Console. Alongside this are a trio of NES games: Super Mario Bros., Metroid and Punch-Out!!, as well as a few Game Gear games, notably Shinobi and Sonic.

Here is a full list of the games expected to hit the two services over the course of March.

Super Street Fighter II (1994, Megadrive)
Strider (1990, Megadrive)
Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa’s Revenge (1996, Neo-Geo)

22, Melbourne. I'm the most badass person you'll ever meet. I once fought a bear, with my bear hands. Yes, I actually have bear hands. Know thy enemy and all that. I also go by the alias Lucrei on the Vooks Forums, so if you see me, try not to be terrified by how amazingly good-looking I am. Hit me on the Twitterz @scottlucrei
