Four games released today on Europe's Virtual Console conspicuously missing any Nintendo system titles. Three of the games originally come from the Sega Genesis. Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master, Dynamite Headdy, and Shining Force are now available in all PAL regions. Shinobi III is the only game not yet available worldwide; it has not yet seen a North American release.

Rounding out the list in Europe is Drop Off for Turbografx. Australia and New Zealand are still in catch-up mode with regard to Turbografx games. This week, Wii owners in those countries receive a quintet of games: Blazing Lasers, Dead Moon, J.J. & Jeff, Ninja Spirit, and World Sports Competition, but will have to wait longer for Drop Off.
