I know what you are thinking.  The Wii was in desperate need of a farm sim game.  Well, the wait is over!  The Virtual Console is getting two new games today.  Other than the farming sim, we are also getting yet another shooter from the TG-16.

Harvest Moon® (Super NES®, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points):
You bought the farm, so now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and try living
off the fat of the land. Fresh air and the beauty of the outdoors will be
fulfilling, but a successful farm needs a lot of working capital as well.
There are buildings on your property, but they are in need of livestock. You
have a modest house, but if things get lonely in the field, it’s going to take
a remodel to woo a female farming companion. Your challenge is to dig in and
build your life as a farmer from the ground up. How you manage will determine
the outcome, but remember: You always reap what you sow.

Lords of Thunder (TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone –
Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): Lords of Thunder is a side-scrolling
shooter that has you take on the role of a legendary warrior, blasting enemies
to heavy-metal tunes. Your enemies are plotting to revive Zaggart, “The Dark
One,” who was sealed beneath the six continents of Mistral. It’s up to
Landis, descendant of the heroic Dyu, to stop them. Choose the order in which
to attack the six stages. Before each stage, select one of four magic armors
and use crystals you’ve collected during your battles to buy items. Selecting
the right armor for each stage is the key to your ultimate victory. Then get
ready to face awesome enemies like a fire-spewing sea serpent or a giant
insect. Whether it’s the fast-paced shooting or breaking into the fortress of
a stage boss, you’ll be blown away by the intensity of Lords of Thunder.

I remember the first time I played Harvest Moon on the SNES.  My friend brought it over, and I though it was going to be the single most boring game I had ever played.  I ended up playing it until 4 am.  Ever since then, I've been hooked!
