    Returning from a brief, WiiWare-induced hiatus, the Wii's Virtual Console service offers but a single new old title for your enjoyment this week. Skykid (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Join Red Baron of Bird Land as he makes the skies friendlier in this side-scrolling shooter. Enemies must be shot down, bombs must be dropped and the loop must be looped if you hope to survive your airborne jaunt. And try not to screw up the landing! And that's it. Move along to the next post, folks.

    Well, it looks like we were wrong. Here we were, expecting Nintendo to just dish out some WiiWare games and call it a day. Instead, the Big N has gone and surprised us by offering not only the WiiWare downloads we were expecting, but also one Virtual Console game. No point in wasting time, so let's just get to the downloads.This week's Virtual Console download: SKYKID (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points) This week's WiiWare downloads: Star Soldier R (Hudson, 1 player, 800 Wii Points) Critter Round-Up (Konami, 1 - 4 players, 1,000 Wii Points) So who's downloading what? Also, be sure to stop back later today for our video wrap-up.%Gallery-20663%%Gallery-23224%
