Sega has sent word that they will be releasing four new games from their Genesis library for the Wii Virtual Console in America. The games are Streets of Rage 2, Toe Jam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, Shining in the Darkness and Kid Chameleon.
Here are the details of the games by Sega:
Streets of Rage 2:
- To celebrate their defeat of the syndicate exactly one year before, Blaze, Adam and Axel met for drinks. The next morning, Axel received a frantic phone call from Eddie ‘Skate’ Hunter, Adam’s younger brother, whom he was living with on the edge of the city. Blaze and Axel found Adam and Skate’s house ruined and a picture of Adam chained to a wall at the feet of Mr. X. The city then once again returned to its nightmarish state and criminals ran rampant. Unable to contact their old friend from the military, Axel and Blaze team up with Skate and Max Thunder to free the city and rescue Adam from the Syndicate. It is up to you to take down Mr. X for the last time!
Toe Jam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron:
- A number of Earthlings hitchhiked on Toe Jam and Earl’s spaceship on their trip back home after the first game, and are now infesting Planet Funkotron. Toe Jam and Earl must track down the Earthlings, capture them in large jars, and ship them back to Earth in space ships. It is also your funky mission to find 10 beloved objects belonging to Lamont the “Funkapotamus,” the source of all funks in the universe, to persuade him to return to his favorite funk-filled planet. Use your “funk powers” to assist in evading and capturing the earthlings, such as Funk Move and Funk Scan.
Shining in the Darkness:
- Dark Sol has vowed to reign over the enchanted Kingdom of Thornwood and only you can stop him. Roaming the dark labyrinth, you will seek out enemies and collect weapons, all of which will help you pass the test of the Ancients and become a shining knight. Get into the adventure with a stunning 3D perspective, amazing cinematic views, and fast-paced scrolling. You will move from battle to battle, solving puzzles and discovering secret items in this engrossing struggle between good and evil. Find the powerful Arms of Light and battle the deadly beasts that keep your people desperate and starved in this epic journey for peace.
Kid Chameleon:
- The local arcade is packed with kids, all lining up to play the latest, most realistic video game they have ever seen. It is called Wild Side, and it uses holographic images to immerse the player in a strange world. However, there is a problem, kids are being sucked into the game and now several of them are trapped. With more than 100 levels to adventure through, you’ll take on several different forms such as a Berzerker, a Micromax, a Maniaxe, or a Skycutter, which will make you much more powerful. It’s up to you, Kid Chameleon, the best gamer in town, to get yourself inside the game so that you can defeat the games’ boss and bring your friends back to reality.
Streets of Rage 2, Toe Jam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, Shining in the Darkness and Kid Chameleon will soon release on the Wii Shop Channel and each one of them is priced 800 Wii Points.
