Two days before Nintendo announced 12 new VC titles (Ikki, Kid Icarus, Ice Climber, etc) that will appear onto the Wii in January 2007. Now Nintendo has escalated the VC row to a bit more elevation with including Konami's Contra III to the VC array.

NES title will be hopefully striking the platform around the Q1 of 2007. The E-rated game title by ESRB is a multi directional shooter title with singular as well as cooperative gameplay capability. The inclusion pf Contra III to the VC convoy shows a drift towards third party developers as well apart from Nintendo.
