Nintendo has confirmed their latest additions that are now available on the Wii Shop Channel. The two games are the NES classic beat’em up “River City Ransom” and the classic SEGA Genesis RPG “Phantasy Star III Generations of Doom”.

River City Ransom (500 Wii Points) takes place in River City, where Alex and Ryan, find a letter from a guy named Slick. The letter says that Ryan's girlfriend, Cyndi, has been kidnapped, and Slick has taken River City hostage with the help of countless gangs and evil bosses. It's up to our heroes to save poor Cyndi and free River City from the clutches of Slick and his underlings.

In Phantasy Star III (800 Wii Points), the theme continues as you play as Rhys, the crown prince of the Orakian kingdom of Landen. You are engaged to be married to Maia, a woman from a rival kingdom, but Maia is kidnapped on your wedding day, setting you on a quest filled with twists and turns that will reintroduce you to people and places from previous Phantasy Star games.
