Nintendo has announced more classic games headed for the Wii's Virtual Console. As with every VC update for North America, these three new VC titles will go live today at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

First up is Lode Runner. This NES classic is for one to two players and is worth 500 Wii Points. Players take control of the hero (known as "Runner"), collecting gold nuggets and avoiding capture by enemy robots in every increasingly-challenging stage. Lode Runner for the VC also includes an Edit Mode so players can design and play their own stages in the game.

Next up is Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Originally released for the Sega Genesis, this game marks the first appearance of a certain two-tailed fox named Miles "Tails" Prower. Together they must find the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Eggman (or Robotnik, take your pick) does in order to stop his evil machinations. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is for one to two players and can be downloaded for 800 Wii Points.

Finally, we get Golden Axe II. This Sega Genesis title is for one to two players and is also worth 800 Wii Points. Death Adder may be gone, but Dark Guld has taken his place as the game's main bad guy. It's up to Ax-Battler, Tyris-Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead to hack and slash their way through six levels, reclaim the Golden Axe, and give Dark Guld a whacking.

Keep checking back here for more Virtual Console updates.
