VC Friday: Tons of mega - also, games

Here it is, folks -- the very best thing about the Virtual Console -- games that have never been released in a particular territory debuting after years of neglect. Nintendo has named this explosion of new games the Hanabi Festival, after summer fireworks celebrations in Japan. This first week is all about Mario, so expect a theme when you check out the latest releases on your Virtual Console. Expect more all new (to you) titles over the next few weeks as well!

• Mario's Super Picross -- SNES -- 900 Wii points

• Neutopia II -- Turbografx -- 600 Wii points

• Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels -- NES -- 600 Wii points
