VC Tuesday: A feast of game downloads

One of the most highly-anticipated Virtual Console titles arrives in Japan today, eliminating the need to hunt down an expensive cartridge. Even the somewhat high 900 point price Nintendo is asking is understandable given the nature of the game. That's right, today Japanese gamers can celebrate the arrival of Ninja Commando -- and, according to the ESRB, we could see it soon as well!

What? It looks fun.

• Super Mario RPG (Super Famicom, 1 player, 900 Wii Points)

• Phantasy Star IV Sennenki no Owari Ni (The End of the Millennium) (Mega Drive, 1 player, 700 Wii Points
  

• Paranoia (Psychosis) (PC Engine, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)

• Ninja Commando (Neo Geo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points)
  

As if four awesome VC games weren't enough, Nintendo of Japan has also made three WiiWare games available: Saikyou Ginsei Go, Blue Oasis, and -- yay! -- Ouchi de Mugen Puchi Puchi! Wow, seven games? Our Wii Shop is officially a joke.
