Yesterday, Sega of America announced that they would be bringing MasterSystem games to the Wii’s Virtual Console download service, joining the Megadrive/Genesis, NES, SNES, N64 and NEO GEO in the ever growing list of systems available on the service.
Kicking off the console’s debut will be two fan-favourite games, WonderBoy (yes!) and Fantasy Zone.

It appears that one of the best games in the Sonic franchise is headed to the Virtual Console sometime in the future. The ESRB has recently added Sonic & Knuckles to its ratings list, and surprisingly enough, the game received a T rating for violence and alcohol reference.
Okay, I’m totally kidding on that second part. […]
It seems like it’s been an eternity since we’ve seen some good ol’ Genesis action on the Virtual Console. Well, Sega just sent us word that Puyo Puyo 2 and POWERBALL will soon be available to purchase for 800 points on the VC.
To be perfectly honest, I was never a huge fan of either game […]
It’s Monday, which means Nintendo has updated its Virtual Console, and this week brings good news for Sega Nerds the world over.
Phantasy Star II has arrived.
Originally released in 1989 on the Sega Genesis, Phantasy Star II is cherished by gamers and many in the media as being one of the greatest games of all […]
Reports are flying in, from various sources, that Sega will be bringing 3 of their retro consoles to the Nintendo Wii’s online store, the Virtual Console.
We are yet to hear any official announcements from Nintendo themselves, but many sites are claiming that the Master System, Mark III and the Game Gear should all be arriving […]
There are two lies in this title!
Oh, crap! Virtual Console releases this week! Stupid real life obligations, what if I missed something really aweso…. oh, I see.
We regret to inform you that Eternal Champions hit the Virtual Console this week for eight (8) American dollars. It’s a fighter so utterly mediocre that it’s hard to […]
How awesome? So awesome.
Ecco Jr. hit the Virtual console today for the low low price of $8.
It’s a lot like Ecco the Dolphin, but with a difficulty level appropriate for small children. In addition, terror does not stalk you at every turn while your air supply threateningly drops leaving you no hope of reaching the […]
The horror…
Sonic 3D Blast hit the Virtual Console today for $8. Being the Genesis version of the game, it lacks the mega-awesome special stages that made its Saturn counterpart worth playing. If you like slippery controls and repetitive collection-based gameplay, this one’s for you! Otherwise, stay away.
Far away.
It’s hard not to get excited with this many exclamation points!!!!
Right. I know you all love agreeing with me about retro gaming- and you do all the time, every time! (Especially when I go into great detail!) But this time I’m going to have to be pretty straightforward.
But it was either put all the […]
In Sega’s latest press release announcing Alien Soldier (Where’s the damn “Look Back,” Hudson?) it began with an interesting sentence, which pretty much solidified the questions whether the higher-priced (900 points instead of the normal 800) games would continue.
Sega of America today announced that it will be releasing a number of import titles from the […]
