Well I'll be downloading Sexy Poker OVERTURN ASAP, gotta love fighting robots amirite? Glad to see the VC return too, not a big fan of Tecmo Bowl but it's quite popular so I'm sure many will be pleased.

I'm a bit in my cups at the moment.
I don't have an actual link but Monster Hunter 3 Tri has been announced for the US. As far as I can tell, no word yet on whether or not online play will be free.

Four-Player Online Co-Op, 2-Player Split-Screen and New Underwater Environments Introduced When Japanese Phenomenon Comes To North American and European Markets in 2010
SAN MATEO, Calif. — August 3, 2009 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Monster Hunter™ Tri will be released in both North America and Europe for Nintendo’s Wii™ system in early 2010.

Monster Hunter Tri will set a new bar in the action/adventure genre with the introduction of new features and game play elements as the multi-million unit selling franchise makes its debut on the Wii system.

One of the most strikingly beautiful titles ever developed for Wii, Monster Hunter Tri depicts a living, breathing ecosystem where man co-exists with fantastic beasts that roam both the land and the sea. Featuring both online and offline cooperative modes, players can join online hunting parties with up to four players or play with two players on a single TV for select quests. Players also have the option to face Monster Hunter Tri’s challenging quests as a single player experience accompanied by Cha-Cha, an AI hunting partner whose tracking and trapping skills will prove invaluable in the hunt. New items, weapons and armor sets will also be available to assist the hunters as they embark on the most incredible Monster Hunter adventure to date.

“Fans of Nintendo and Monster Hunter are eagerly anticipating the launch of this title in the US, which will be the first time the series is available on a Nintendo home console,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Licensing. “Having Capcom bring Monster Hunter Tri to the Wii console provides tremendous action, fun and entertainment to both veteran players and series newcomers alike.”

Visitors to this month’s GamesCom European gaming convention in Cologne, Germany August 19-23, will be the first to sample a localized version of the title on Capcom’s stand as it makes its English debut for a western audience. GamesCom attendees will have the opportunity to play the same game that took last year’s Tokyo Game Show by storm, with lines that stretched around Capcom’s stand as eager Japanese gamers waited in excess of five hours to play.

This desire to be one of the first to experience Monster Hunter Tri is indicative of the impact the Monster Hunter franchise has made on videogame culture in Japan. With sales of the series totaling well over 10 million units and 3.5 million sales of Monster Hunter Portable™ 2ndG alone, it’s no surprise to find that Monster Hunter has given rise to dedicated “training camps”, country-wide festivals and numerous licensed products. The franchise doesn’t just top the charts in Japan; it’s become a social phenomenon.

Nobody quote me on this, but I'm going to bet it'll most likely be free in America. All the others have been free in America, and it's still not explosively popular yet because Capcom said they want to make the series popular in America, and it's not gonna help to make people pay for it.

Yeah I heard that one of the earlier PS2 games was released here with free online play. I'm going to guess that 3 will be free as well. (I hope so anyway)

If online play is free I'm sooo getting this.

Strip Poker on WiiWare!?! Lol, I can honestly say I never saw that coming! Well it's good to see a good VC addition after so long without one, but I could've sworn Tecmo Bowl was already on VC :wacko:

It was, however this is the Arcade version, which I can only assume is the superior version. . .that's usually how it goes. . .usually XD. But they should really release The Simpsons or X-Men Arcade games, I'm sure it'd never happen, but it'd sure be nice, put that Virtual Console Arcade to good use!

I am willing to bet we would see X-men and Simpsons on Xbox Live before the wii. I mean look at the turtles game. Re-shelled comes out in just 2 days!
