Japanese Virtual Console lovers have quite a month ahead of them. The final Tuesday in February sees the release of the much-vaunted Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and March doesn’t look so bad either, even in the shadow of Zelda. Fondly remembered games like Excitebike, ActRaiser, and Ganbare Goemon fill the Japanese release schedule. In addition to these titles, Nintendo announced that MSX and NeoGeo games would be appearing in spring and summer respectively. Only two titles were listed, Eggy and Aleste for the MSX at 800 Wii points apiece. No games were listed for the NeoGeo.
March Japanese virtual console games:
NES:
Lode Runner
Yoshi no Tamago (Yoshi/Mario & Yoshi)
Valkyrie no Bouken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu
Excitebike
Donkey Kong Jr. no Sansuu Asobi (Donkey Kong Jr. Math)
SNES:
Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyuushutsu Emaki (Legend of the Mystical Ninja)
Heracles no Eikou 3
ActRaiser
Genesis:
Puzzle & Action: Tant-R
Sonic Spinball
Dyna Brothers
Wonder Boy V: Monster World III
Virtua Fighter 2
Alex Kidd Tenkuu Ma Jou (Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle)
Alien Storm
Turbo-Grafx 16:
Double Dungeons
Fire Pro Wrestling Combination Tag
Galaga '88
Kaizou Chounin: Shubibinnman (Shockman)

Also Alexx Kid makes me long for Master System support.

Wait, this means Europe is actually the first territory to get OOT?
Warukyuure no Bouken
I wonder what that's about (if it is what I think), I know Namco makes loads of cameos with that game, e.g. the third costume for Cassandra in Soul Calibur 2 and inclusion into practically any figure collection for Namco games.

Well it's kind of a non-game isn't it? Maybe Brain Age fans will dig it.
I hope Neo-Geo supports makes it to North America. I can understand if MSX stays in Japan because it was only available in Japan but Neo-Geo should be available here. Plus it's good to see new systems being supported. That means that someday Master System or Gameboy games could be available.

The Turbografx games were released in Europe, MSX games could be released in other regions, too.

That'd be rad...Then I could finally complete my VC library with Link's Awakening!

Totally confirms Nintendo is having a drought, and that TP is performing below their expectations.

They have to release Neo Geo support here. They have to. All
has to to do is go to Japan and make them do it. If there is any indication though, they'll release their first round of forgettable (read:Crappy) games. But once Samurai Shodown and the rest show up, its on motha $$%##, its on.

let's hope they release the KOF and Garou series soon... (I'd ask for Metal Slug, but those have been released already ^^)
anyways, arcade goodness! (I wish Capcom would follow suit...)
