Nintendo has announced the arrival of Double Dribble, Vegas Stakes, and Ecco Jr. as part of the next wave of VC additions.

Double Dribble is a port of the NES basketball game, Vegas Stakes is a port of the Genesis Vegas-simulation, and Ecco Jr. is a port of the Genesis dolphin adventure.

None of the games are the “classics” that Nintendo chooses to describe them as. More disappointing, however, is that the recent press release decided to use the term “Wii-kly”.

These will make a total of 175 games for the service, which hosts some of the greatest games ever. Pilotwings is set to arrive on the machine in the future, which is a great deal more exciting then these three games.
