Although May 28 is Memorial Day for the US, Nintendo didn't forget about its fans and Virtual Console users. Thus, the company has made available three more great classics for you to download and play, for the necessary Wii Points of course. Here they are below, with a small description to give you a better idea of what you're buying:

ActRaiser: A masterpiece of game design originally released in the early days of the SNES and a revolutionary combination of action and simulation-based game play. Players become the Master, a dethroned deity whose once-idyllic world has fallen under the control of the Evil One. Stripped of godly power, the Master must somehow put an end to the Evil One's reign and rebuild his desolate realm. ActRaiser features two gameplay modes: Action and Simulation, where you must either battle against impossible odds to pacify six lands (unlocks Simulation mode), or oversee the development and re-population of the territory you have reclaimed, respectively. Gain followers who gradually restore your godly might, empowering you to take back the next land and ultimately, defeat the Evil One. 1 player, 800 Wii Points

Kid Chameleon (a SEGA Genesis original): The local arcade is packed with kids, all lining up to play the latest, most realistic videogame they've ever seen. It's called Wild Side and it uses holographic images to immerse the player in a strange world. But there's a problem? Kids are literally getting sucked into the game and now several of them are trapped. Throughout more than 100 levels, you'll take on several different forms, such as a Berzerker, a Micromax, a Maniaxe or a Skycutter, which will make you much more powerful. It's up to you, Kid Chameleon, the best gamer in town, to get yourself inside the game so that you can defeat the game's boss and bring your friends back to reality. 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points

J.J. & JEFF: This comical action game is a TurboGrafx16 original, featuring two bungling detectives (J.J. and JEFF) as they travel through a total of six fields. One day, a request comes into their office to take a case that requires them to "rescue a wealthy man who's been kidnapped." Choose between the two characters and set off alone to outwit your partner and save the day. Each field is broken down into four areas, where enemies, as well as your partner, will try to keep you from your goal. There are many items throughout each area. Kick around in various locations to make them appear. Jump and spray-paint your way toward your goal. If you find a hidden room, you can regain health while being completely entertained by its short sketch and surreal allure. 1 player, 600 Wii Points

That's all for now. I reckon that of Nintendo put out VC games on a holiday, we should expect at least three more this week. Getting close to 100 if I'm not mistaking...
