Turbografx SuperCD Games Coming To VC In Japan
Hudson Japan just announced on their site that they will be bringing some PC Engine SuperCD games to the Japanese Virtual Console on the Wii. The news comes auto translated from Japanese, but you can definitely make out the point of the announcement.
You can play with Wii, the software of the game machine which corporation Hudson (head office/Tokyo Minato-ku, the Representative President/Endo greatness), the Nintendo Co. corporation (head office/Kyoto prefecture Kyoto city, Satoru Representative President/Iwata) new model game machine "Wii ([ui])" you use, past is sold as a game software "of virtual console" correspondence, "PC engine CD-ROM2 (the CD ROM ROM)" and, in download service of the title which is sold "PC engine super CD-ROM2" business, from 2007 October, it is the schedule which is consecutively started in Japan, North America, Europe and Australia.
They will be bringing five games to the console before the end of the year, and ten more next year. The PC Engine was known as the Turbografx16 here in the States. While the system didn’t catch on in the US, it was a much bigger hit overseas.
In the few years the system was actively pumping out SuperCD titles, there were more than a few I wanted to get my hands on. Hopefully now I will finally be able to play Ys Book I and II, or could we even get Beyond Shadowgate?

To me, this is more exciting than the Neo-Geo VC announcement...
Just to hear the Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack to Y's Book I and II again will be pure joy.
I always wanted to have the opportunity to play some Japan-only PC Engine titles. Does anyone remember Cosmic Fantasy 2? Working Designs translated and localized this game for a US release on the Duo, but the sequels remained in Japan.
Yaaaaaaaaaay! I guess the CDDA audio will be in some compressed format? I wonder if the games will need to be stored on SD cards?
I wonder if SegaCD games will be available in the future as well? Well I could do without Sewer Shark, or Kris Kross Make Your Own Music Video lol
