Woot! My favorite original Nintendo game is on its way to the Wii! Japanese release is sometime in the spring, with Australia slated to get it later in the year. So far, anything released in Australia has also been released in the US, so things look good for a state-side release by the end of the year.

River City Ransom was the first game I ever got into trouble because of. My friend and I were playing one morning back when it first came out, then kept on playing halfway through the afternoon to finally beat it. I missed lunch at home, which is a big deal to my half-Italian mom. I got dish washing/drying duties for a month and no lunch or snacks that day, but beating the game for the very first time was so worth it :-)
