Gradius & Megadrive classics hit VC

A not-too-shabby total of four games went live in today's European Virtual Console update, with the NES and Megadrive fans treated to more retro goodness.

The NES version of Gradius heads-up the new selection - easily one of the best scrolling shooters of it's time. The younger of our readers may have played the awesome PS2 update.

And Megadrive's healthy serving consists of Comix Zone, Bonanza Bros and Gain Ground.

Megadrive games cost 800 Wii Points, while NES games go for 500.

Now, bring on Super Mario World, Nintendo.
