The new games are:
Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior - SNES
Hagane: The Final Conflict - SNES
Uniracers / Unirally - SNES
Tin Star - SNES
Aerofighters Assault - Nintendo 64
Obviously Street Fighter 2 is the big news here, but it's great that Nintendo/Hudson are releasing stuff like Hagane, which is a real forgotten gem of the SNES era and is quite rare now. It plays like a tripped-out version of Strider crossed with Contra and contains loads and loads of robotic ninja action! Who could ask for more? Hopefully this will be the first of many rare classics making their way to the Wii. Uniracers (AKA Unirally) was a minor hit when it was first released and is also a welcome addition to the VC collection. The final SNES game is Tin Star, which is a little-known 'Super Scope' title. Not a bad set of games!
However, your guess is as good as mine as to why the Virtual Console is getting Aerofighters Assault - a painfully average N64 game which hardly set the world alight when it was first published. I can only assume they're padding out the VC catalogue with this title, as there are loads of N64 games that are far more worthy of release. Oh well.
We'll be adding content and sourcing reviews for these games ASAP, so keep checking back! Thanks to our eagle-eyed friend 'Rond' for the heads up on this!

Huh. We still have only seen one of these.
Yeah, its pretty strange. I still think these games will come out one day. But all of them except for Tin Star (Super Scope game) should have been on VC by now.
Looks like the games that haven't even come out will take even longer now it's finally taken of the ESRB site.
