Super Street Fighter Alpha 2 sits right at the top the must-buy VC game of the week, as Nintendo fires off the below list of games added today (or 11pm last night for the eager beavers).
That's the Super NES version, and it kicks ass. Other than that, here's the official PR on what went up:
Evil aliens called Cannoids have seized control of Earth's empty cans, and are using them to destroy the planet. As Mack, Plant 530's top technician, only you can save the world from an ecological emergency with the help of your trusty recycling cannon.
In this guided first-person shooter every shot counts because ammo also acts as your health. Every enemy you destroy leaves behind Can Energy that you must vacuum up and carefully conserve to continue your battle.
Simple Wii Remote controls (including the option to use the Wii Zapper) allow anyone to play the role of Eco Shooter, while advanced players will enjoy racking up huge scores using the combo system, linking consecutive hits for more points. Put all your skills to the test to preserve the planet once and for all in the unforgiving Challenge Mode. Do you have what it takes to put a dent in the Cannoids' plans?

|SFA2 is not really that good on the Snes. TBH back in the day it was a great conversion of the coin-op, but when you have Wii-ware why have a conversion? Why not just port the coin-op version?
