River City Ransom & Phantasy Star 3 next week.

http://wii.ign.com/articles/867/867001p1.html

April 16, 2008 - Aksys has confirmed to IGN that it is delivering three NES beat 'em ups to the Virtual Console soon. First up is the beloved River City Ransom, arriving next week. Double Dragon and Renegade will follow in each successive week.

River City Ransom features the same Kunio-Kun characters found in Renegade and Super Dodge Ball. All three games were developed by Technos in Japan.

Double Dragon follows Billy Lee, a buff vigilante who fights his way through numerous thugs and crime bosses to save his girlfriend.

Double Dragon was missing the co-op mode on the NES (as opposed to the rocking Aracade game -- there were a number of other differences in the NES game as well, both positive and negative, but since only one version's being offered here, either enjoy it or get an Xbox 360 for the XBLA version) but it did have scrolling levels, as opposed to Renegade's mostly stationary levels. Both have punches, kicks, and bad guys who deserve to be punched and kicked.

Renegade follows Mr. K, a buff vigilante who fights his way through numerous thugs and crime bosses to save his girlfriend.

Hopefully it will be more than one. IGN usually isn't the ones to get the "official" leak early. We usually get that sometime on friday ;D
