Here are some interesting points to note:
1) Most interestingly, Donkey Kong Country will be available in the UK before the USA gets it, since it's currently not on the US Virtual Console Catalogue and they don't update until Mondays or Tuesdays.
2) Despite being a Mega Drive game, Sonic The Hedgehog can be played using the Wii Remote since it only uses the d-pad and one button.
3) Bomberman '93 on the TurboGrafx is a FIVE-player game. This can be achieved with a combination of Wii Remotes and GameCube controllers, meaning that potentially the Virtual Console can support 8-player games.
