VC Monday Madness: Lazers follow a pair of sequels

Another Monday arrives, along with complaints of having to return to work and those 4-8 cups of coffee most need just to get started. Well, maybe that's just us (we're not morning people!), but regardless of our complaints this morning, we all have something to look forward to: new games! Well, not new, but newly available for download via the Wii's Virtual Console service.

This week's offerings ionclude:

• Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)

• Streets of Rage 2 (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)

• Blazing Lazers (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)

Let us know what you're looking forward to, or hating, in the comments. And be sure to stop back later for our usual video coverage of this week's games.
