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 […]

Yes, that is a snail-dragon. Yes, those hostages are wearing modern dress. No, it doesn’t make any sense.
Golden Axe! Like Streets of Rage’s little, overcompensating brother it took the standard beat ‘em up and injected it with a dose of Conan the Barbarian, followed by a chaser of awkward world mythologies. Now the third entry […]

Fact: barbarian women were all totally hot. Also, dinosaurs!
As you might have guessed, Golden Axe III hit the ol’ Vee Cee today for eight bucks. While GAIII never saw release stateside except on the Sega Channel during the Genesis days, it did sneak its way into the Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 and […]

Um… yay?
Streets of Rage 3 hit the Virtual Console today for eight dollars. After the awesomeness that was Streets of Rage 2, many are probably asking themselves whether or not the final game in the trilogy is worth picking up. Is it as/more radical than SoR 2? Why is that kid so happy a […]

WELCOMETOTHENEXTLEVEL
Some games evoke scrutiny and in-depth analysis to ascertain whether or not they are worth a purchase on the Virtual Console. Super Thunder Blade is not one of these games.
Super Thunder Blade is pretty much Space Harrier if Space Harrier were scaled down graphically, less responsive, less fun, and about helicopters. It’s also on the […]

Er… woo?
Super Thunder Blade of Genesis fame is now available on the Wii’s Virtual Console for eight bucks. Is it worth it? What makes it “super”? Is that really just a crappy pixelated photograph they’re using as the title screen? All these questions (and more!) will soon be answered in a very special Look […]

Mmm, nostalgia.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 rocked, and it rocked pretty hard. Now it’s out on the Virtual Console for eight bucks. Should you, the discriminating gamer, fork up the cash? Join us here at Sega Nerds as we remember a time when men were men and Sonic games could be mentioned without producing […]

For us lucky people living in PAL land, we shall be receiving five fantastic Sega titles this week for our Virtual Consoles.
Unfortunately, some of the games have previously been released in the US stores, but I think maybe a couple may not have made it over the pond just yet, so this is fairly exciting […]

Keep in mind this is like, a minute into the game.
Welcome, one and all to this, a look back at Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole. What? You say you’ve never heard of Landstalker? Well get in line, brother. In line for an explanation of what sort of a game it is, and whether or […]
