Virtual Console Arcade is running and the service looks promising after seeing Namco Bandai’s huge arcade line up. We’ll have to wait for those games to come out another month. The only arcade game they are releasing in the next few weeks is Samurai Ghost and it goes online this Tuesday in Japan.
Many of the other games on this list like Castlevania 3: Dracula’s Curse and Kirby’s Dream Land 3 already came out in North America. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, however, has not. Chances are Nintendo of America will put it on our Virtual Console sometime this year without the premium price of 1,200 Wii Points ($12).
