First Master System Game Rated For Australia's VC
Along with Hudson, Sega have pretty much been the backbone of the Wii's virtual console. Of course though Nintendo have put a few gems onto their emulator service, it's pretty much the Megadrive and Turbograpfx that have been getting the most love and titles.
Well, Sega isn't stopping, with the introduction of Master Drive and Game Gear games (which were announced back in January) coming very soon, thankfully this time without the laughably bad cover art. While our Japanese brethren received Fist Of The North Star for around 600 points as their first taste, it's most likely ours will be the classic, though often forgotten Wonder Boy, with a classification by the OFLC (office of Flilm and Literature Classification) on Tuesday. No word yet though when it'll be introduced, but now we know it's just around the corner.
Wonder Boy has been around the block quite a few times, under different names and versions, thanks mostly to lack of the concept of "Killer App" back in the days (take a good look at Adventure Island for the NES for a good example), so it'll be nice to see where it all began. And hopefully we'll get to see another lost gaming treasure: Alex Kidd! Time to get my 8 bit groove on!
