Three new games. Highest newcomer is Donkey Kong at 11. Zelda II returns at 16 and completes the list of all VC Zelda's. No doubt this is thanks to the release of Skyward Sword.

The release of Skyward Sword also makes The Legend of Zelda our biggest climber with a four spot gain. It's even above both the N64 VC Zelda's. The biggest dropper is Super Smash Bros. with four spots from 16 to 20.

I'm so inspired to see another North American Wii VC game, that is furthermore an awesome one in Strider, that I decided to bring the VC Top 20 back from the dead as well! I have it as the 16th because we used to do the VC lists on Thursdays. This is my first VC Top 20 in almost a year, and my first since before becoming a Brony, when I was BetelgeuseWC77!
