Nintendo offers up four more classic goodies for it's Virtual Consoles in timely fashion.
At this rate, fans can't complain there's a shortage of titles available for vintage gaming goodness! Today Nintendo hit gamers up with another dose of virtual nostalgia:

Game: Ice Hockey (NES)
Players:
1-2
Wii Points: 500

Go head to head on the ice with a friend or CPU in this strategical sports sim. Gamers have their pick of teams hailing from the United States, Sweden, Poland, Canada, Soviet Union, and Czechoslovakia. Gameplay proves simple as strategies are based mainly on...the body weight of your players. Yeah, you read it right. This could prove a good title for the kiddies.

Game: Gunstar Heroes (Genesis)
Players:
1-2
Wii Points: 800

A 2D side-scrolling shooter with linear-gameplay, plot elements, a combo-based weapon system, a dice game, recurring bosses, and combat strategy. What else do you need?

Game: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis)
Players: 1-2
Wii Points: 800

Dr. Robotnik (from the Sonic the Hedgehog series) wants to bust up the fun everyone is having on the planet Mobius. So he's devised an evil scheme to turn everyone...into beans?

Rounding off the list is Alien Crush of TurboGrafx-16 fame, for about 600 Wii Points.

Best VC game added this week?
Alien Crush (TurboGrafx-16)
