The elves mining Nintendos vaults for classic games have unearthed three new ones to add to the Wii Shop Channel. They feature ragers, lasers and, um, monkeys not in cages. Anyway, its unlikely that youve played all three of these, so go ahead and check em out. Or the elves will cry.

Oh, Donkey Kong Country 2. I need to save up some Wii points to get it. I purchased the first one, so I might as well purchase the second one. I hope that it is good.

"Nothing good"? I believe I heard some e-peen rise for Streets of Rage 2 but apparently Blazing Lazers was one of the best TG16 games.

I downloaded DKC2. Brings back great memories and it was worth the points. But now I only have 100 Wii Points.

Streets of Rage 1 & 2 are some of my favorite games during the mid '90s. I'll be sure to get this soon as I pick up my Wii.

I remember making it to the final boss battle in DKC2, but never actually beating it. I must avenge my snes.

Heh it's kind of the same with me. I got close to beating it on the SNES but my cousin stole it from me and stole it. I told him I have it on my Wii and now he wants to play it....

Bleh I really need to get some more points soon, DKC2 is a classic. Streets of Rage also brings back some memories, though I am not familiar with Blazing Lazers.
