How they optimize the classics' controls is a mystery to me

Here's the deal: no introduction this time, not even a sentence to start with (although that's exactly what I'm doing right now), 'cause I'm sure the title got to you if you're a fan of the classics. So without further ado, here are the three great classics launching on Wii's Virtual Console:

1

- The hungry yellow sphere named Pac-Man will have players navigating mazes, eating everything they find and at the same time avoid deadly ghosts. Pac-Man returns on the Virtual Console today for the price of 500 Wii Points, after making its NES debut in 1993.

2 - ActRaiser: it combines side-scrolling platform action with the power of playing god. Playing as an omnipotent being in the simulation sections, gamers must protect and guide a human civilization as they evolve and grow, while in the action ones they have to take on the role of a warrior and battle enemy hordes threatening their people. The game is available for 800 Points.

3 - comical platformer making its debut in 1991, Bonk's Revenge was developed by Turbografx throwing in bald-headed hero Bonk against the sinister King Drool III in an amusing take on the platform genre. This one will set you back 600 Points.

The Wii Shop Channel allow users to download games for the Virtual Console by redeeming Wii Points, which can be obtained via purchasing Wii Points Cards or directly through the Shop Channel using Mastercard or Visa credit cards. In case you didn't know, these great three classics add to the already available 73 classic titles for the Virtual Console in Europe, so start check up on your available Nintendo currency kids, because you know what they say: "classics never die."
