Alien Soldier hits the Virtual Console

by Hudson on November 5th, 2007

Are you scared? I’m scared. Hold me.

Alien Soldier exploded onto the Virtual Console today for ~~eight bucks~~ nine dollars? What? What tomfoolery is this?

Oh! It’s never had a real North American release, you say? A sidescrolling run-and-gun shooter by Treasure, you say? Made predominantly of rockin’ boss fights, you say? Not on the Sega Genesis Collection, you say?

Methinks a look back is in order…

In Darfur they use the arms of children as currency. For seriously.

And shut up about SEGA Genesis Collection. It isn’t on the Wii. How about we bitch because this was released on Treasure Box for PS2 in Japan? Because everyone has to own a PS2, have it hooked up, and play imports or they’re not real gamers.

Nobody should ever shut up about Sega Genesis Collection, because if you don’t own a PS2 you’re basically an idiot to begin with.

Or you just happen to have a very tiny penis and lack a real Genesis.
