Ooh, the second new console for the Virtual Console within a week! Shame they picked Wonder Boy as the first Master System game, since Adventure Island (a port of Wonder Boy) is already out.

Yea not bad choices though. I think SMS will be 500 points. I personally prefer the TG-16 new adventure island for 600.

Better yet: Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, aka Dragon's Curse on the TG-16. Although that game isn't like the Adventure Island series / the first Wonder Boy at all.

Official announcement (I was also right about the 500 point SMS games):
WII-KLY UPDATE: TWO NEW CLASSIC GAMES ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL
March 31, 2008
It's a week of fun-filled firsts at the Wii™ Shop Channel. Each of the latest game offerings represents the first title in a memorable series that has influenced many subsequent titles over the years. Whether you prefer high-speed drives or side-scrolling adventures, it's clear that these classic games have lasting appeal. What's more, Wonder Boy is the first-ever Sega Master System title to be made available via Virtual Console.
Nintendo adds new games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii™ owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
Cruis'n USA™ (Nintendo 64®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Ever felt like driving to the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore and the White House in one day? Well then, gear up to put your racing skills to the test in a frantic trip across the United States, following a route that you won't find on any map. Whether it's the rolling hills of Appalachia, the flowing cornfields of Iowa or the crowded tunnels below Chicago, you'll find yourself too focused on the intense racing action to worry about the scenery. Get started by picking from a garage full of cars to find the one that best suits your style—if you're good enough, you'll even find a few hidden ones to round out your selection. Then choose one of three different playing perspectives and get ready to hang on tight. With five difficulty levels, the ability to remove traffic or other racers, and two- player simultaneous racing, it's enough to make you forget all about finding that next rest stop. Just watch out for the cows, OK?
Wonder Boy (Sega Master System, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone—Comic Mischief, 500 Wii Points): As Tom-Tom the Wonder Boy, it's up to you to rescue your girlfriend Tanya from the vile clutches of the monster that has kidnapped her. To do so, you must navigate a series of worlds in a race against time to reach your goal. Along the way, you'll battle foes and collect fruit that will add to the amount of time you have to complete your mission. You can also receive helpful power-ups from various eggs, but make sure to avoid the bad eggs and poisonous mushrooms that sap your precious vitality. Find the magic doll in each level to open up hidden areas, and make it to the very end of your journey to rescue your one true love.
It's very fun I think. I played the arcade a ton and then the 64 version a long time ago so I'm biased. It can be easy, but playing against your own time is great. If I remember correctly there was a way to unlock a school bus to drive.
Unlockables, two players, 3 different perspectives. If you use the inside-car perspective bugs splatter on your window and you can hit cows.
Crusin is a example of a flawed but fun game
Its a shame that a lot of N64 racin games where just plane crap
Yeah it's alright for flawed. I played it an hour this morning, and have a few things to add.
There are saves in the VC version.
San Fran, Redwood Forests and Death Valley still piss me off beyond all comparisons. You will have to beat these before unlocking the level with cows and bugs.
The controls are janky on the classic controller, but fortunately they CAN be changed! I reconfigured them after learning my lesson trying my first run with a manual transmission.
The CC D-Pad is extremly touchy and hard to use, you will want to use one of the joy pads for better control.
The chick when you finish holding a trophy is still funny eye-candy. Ramming opponents into on-coming traffic is still fun. Getting in accidents can be frustrating. Enjoy Death Valley.
The chick that screams "We're gonna crash!" out of nowhere when you get a close call is still funny, and I want to say "No we aren't, shadup" just like old times.
