As reported by Famitsu's official website, this November 15 Sega has released the Mega Drive port of Strider for Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console in Japan, going up for 600 Wii Points.

According to Siliconera, Capcom has announced the game will also see a release in the U.S. and Europe, albeit no dates have been given yet. This hopefully is the start for some of the other conversions to be made available as well, Strider 2 most specially.
