The several-month hiatus on the Wii Shop Channel's Virtual Console section has finally come to an end. The Genesis version of Strider has taken The Ignition Factor's place as its newest release.

"The month of March heralds a wide range of interesting games to download including a chance to replay where it all began for Samus Aran when the original Metroid from the NES becomes available to download on your Nintendo 3DS. Those of you who are looking forward to the upcoming release of Kid Icarus™: Uprising can download the Game Boy title, Kid Icarus™ Of Myths and Monsters allowing Nintendo 3DS owners to become better acquainted with the angelic angel Pit and his action-packed adventures!
Dust off your stethoscope and get ready for some pill arranging action with the classic Game Boy puzzler Dr Mario™, finally arriving to the Nintendo eShop. March will also see the long awaited arrival of the classic SEGA Game Gear line-up including Dragon Crystal™, Shinobi™ and Sonic the Hedgehog™: Triple Trouble.
Wii owners are in for a treat this month when Mega Man X and Mega Man 5 become available on Wii Virtual Console and Super Street Fighter 2 is the first Virtual Console title with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection functionality which allows fans of the legendary fighting franchise to challenge each other online. You will be treated to even more of history’s best 2D fighting and sidescrolling action in Strider and Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa’s Revenge respectively.
The month of Virtual Console will kick off this week with two NES classics in the form of the original Super Mario Bros.™ and Punch-Out!!™, both available via the Nintendo eShop. Mario and Luigi have been rescuing princesses and battling Bowser for over 25 years and you now have the chance to play the ultimate classic on your Nintendo 3DS."
That's some pretty cool shit, especially letting you play Super Street Fighter 2 online.

If you preorder Kid Icarus Uprising on Amazon, you get Kid Icarus 3D for free, I believe. But not until Uprising comes out.

Mega Man X, Mega Man 5 and (as this thread began) Strider (the Genesis port, anyway) are already on the VC.

This is only partially on topic, but the 3DS has released three Game Gear games on the Virtual Console.

Virtual Console Back on Track.
Gah this annoys me so much. It's as if people think that Nintendo actually have to provide the virtual console service. Then they bitch when they don't release anything.
Nintendo could shut all that down right now. They are not obligated to even have it. It's not like when you buy a Wii or whatever it goes: "There will be constantly updates to this store".
It's an optional service for them that makes them money. If they don't want to put new shit up on it every week they are entitled to do that.
