A few days ago, we had posted that Sega had released four games for the American Virtual Console. This week, it’s the turn of the European Wii gamers to taste the Sega Games. Virtua Fighter 2, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle and Shockman will find their way to the European Virtual Console.
Here are the details of the four Sega Games that will hit the European VC:
Virtua Fighter 2 (800 Wii Points): The MEGA DRIVE game helped evolve the fighting genre into the modern era when it was launched in 1996. With nine fighters to master and a selection of overwhelming combos to perfect, up to two players can take the challenge to discover if they have what it takes to be the Second World Fighting Champion.
Wonder Boy in Monster World (800 Wii Points): A MEGA DRIVE game that combines traditional platform action with RPG elements such as collecting clues from townspeople and upgrading weapons and armour.
Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle (800 Wii Points): One more MEGA DRIVE game where players must unravel puzzles and overpower enemies to save Alex’s kidnapped father. With eleven stages to enjoy and a exceptional ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ boss battle mechanic, this game is a classic for any retro fan.
Shockman (600 Wii Points): The game is a Turbografx action shooter. Players must advance through vast levels by choosing from numerous routes, battling the hordes of robotic opponents that stand in their way and fighting remarkable bosses. Co-operative elements such as “shared life” and a powerful “Team Shockbeam” are available in 2 player simultaneous play.
Virtua Fighter 2, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle and Shockman have already been released on the American Virtual Console some time back. These four games for Sega will join the list of 81 classic titles already available for the Virtual Console in Europe. The Wii VC is enjoying the same success as the XBLA. Globally, by the end of March 2007, approximately 3.3 million games had been downloaded.
