At this week’s Game Developers Conference, a number of incredible new (and old) additions were announced for the Wii’s downloadable game services, but the one that really gets me going is this: arcade titles will be added to the Virtual Console lineup. There’s just nothing like the classics.

Nintendo didn’t mess around with any of this fancy advance warning business, either; bam! The arcade additions were announced, and bam! You can already download a few via the Virtual Console. Here’s the list of games that have been announced:

• Gaplus (Namco Bandai): 600 Wii Points (available now)
• Mappy (Namco Bandai): 500 Wii Points (available now)
• The Tower Of Druaga (Namco Bandai): 500 Wii Points (available now)
• Starforce (Tecmo): 500 Wii Points (available now)
• Space Harrier (Sega) (coming soon)
• Solvalou (Namco Bandai) (coming soon)
