Nintendo plans to update Wii's Virtual Console game list with a brand new title every Monday in the US, aiming to bring more than 30 games to the service before the end of the year, alongside the 12 retro games available at launch.
It'll certainly make Monday mornings a lot more bearable, and we'd be surprised if Nintendo didn't have a similarly regular update plan for Europe, although the big N was unavailable at the time of writing to confirm this, or to suggest which day we might get our new gaming treats.
In addition, this shot that some helpful gamer has posted on photo-sharing site flickr reveals that Wii's Virtual Console has a very handy Suspend Point feature, enabling you to freeze the game at any point and return to the Wii Home menu, then pop back whenever you please.
Unfortunately, though, it's not clear if you can play normal Wii games or do other memory-intensive actions without losing your Suspend Point. We'll have to delve into Wii's instruction manual and find out in December.
