This week on the Japanese Wii Shop, the Virtual Console is host to two rare Konami sequels: Gofer's Ambition Episode 2, a Gradius game exclusive to the MSX platform, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the real Metal Gear sequel that we didn't see in North America until the limited edition release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.
