Irem's games really are going from Virtual Console in a few days

You may have heard that there are some games being discontinued on the Virtual Console including the R-Type games on PC Engine and SNES.

Well it's true. If you go to the Wii Shopping Channel's news page right now you'll see a list of all the titles that are going to be discontinued on March 31st.

I'm interested in the R-Type games alright and there are a couple of other decent looking ones like Tonma and Ninja Spirit but the rest in that list I wouldn't bother with.
