Nintendo bolstered its Virtual Console offerings with three new titles this morning. Converted from Japanese-only Doki Doki Panic, Super Mario Bros. 2 has generated much fan discussion over the years. Described by Nintendo as a "unique" Mario installment, the turnip-filled platformer runs 500 Wii Points ($5).

Novotrade International's Ecco: Tides of Time is the followup to the studio's original dolphin sim, adding new puzzles and gameplay to its fantastical deep-sea exploration for the standard Genesis price of 800 Wii Points ($8).

Finally, the TurboGrafx-16 port of Namco's vertically-scrolling arcade shooter Dragon Spirit puts players in the unlikely role of a monster. Noted for its high level of difficulty, Dragon Spirit challenges to blast through nine boss-capped levels at a price of 600 Wii Points ($6).

As always, check back later in the week for the Shack staff's detailed evaluation of each game. Be sure to take a look at our past Virtual Console reviews.
