The Hanabi Festival is back on the European Virtual Console, and Nintendo have given us a heads-up on the retro release schedule for July.

As we reported yesterday following the weekly Nintendo download update, the Hanabi Festival is back in Europe, bringing with it a selection of retro goodies that have never before legally seen the light of day on European shores.

In a gesture of goodwill, Nintendo have let us in on the Virtual Console release schedule for July. In addition to Pulseman (SEGA Mega Drive) and Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (SNES), which are both available now for 900 Wii Points each, here's a list of titles you can expect to be hitting the Wii Shop Channel over the next few weeks.

• Bomberman '94 (Turbografx)
• Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II (NES)
• MUSHA (SEGA Mega Drive)
• Smash Table Tennis (NES)
• DETANA TWIN BEE (Turbografx)
• Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (SNES)

Bombs, pink puffballs and ping pong?! NTSC retro awesomeness overload. Expect reviews of each and every one of these titles in VC Weekly.

Can't wait for Bomberman '94. I can safely say that it is by far the best Bomberman title ever. '95 is great as well.

Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (SNES) This is enough reason to celebrate. One of the best looking Kirby games in existence, overlooked because it arrived too late in the SNES cycle. To the newly formed Starfy fans - you GOT to play this one.

Hopefully Nintendo of Europe decide to grace our hallowed shores with the likes of The Legendary Starfy on DS. =)
