Master System Games to Appear on US Virtual Console
« on: March 25, 2008, 09:02:06 AM »
Wonder Boy and Fantasy Zone to be first released at $4 a piece.
 http://nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=15606

 Sega of America announced today that they will release Virtual Console games from their first major video game system, the Sega Master System. The standard price for Master System games will be 400 Wii Points or $4. Wonder Boy and Fantasy Zone are the only two games mentioned and currently do not have any release dates.    


     Two Master System games have been released for the  Japanese Virtual Console in the past two months: Fist of the North Star and Fantasy Zone. However, the two games were priced at 600 Wii Points ($6) and 500 Wii Points ($5) respectively.    


      At last count, this is the sixth iteration of Wonder Boy to hit Virtual Console and this specific one is the original and the basis for the NES carbon copy, Adventure Island. Fantasy Zone is yet another side-scrolling shoot-‘em-up.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Yes, I was formerly the phantom guest who somehow managed to join the site and post news.
But anyway, I think its awesome that Virtual Console's getting more systems, but I'm a little bit perturbed that we see the same two genres over and over again. Those two genres being schmups and Wonder Boy, of course

I love that you posted here once, like a year ago and now you're suddenly staff.  Welcome (back) to the forums.  Join us in the Fun House every now and then.  I also love your avatar.  :D

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Yea, I've been coming here for news and such since it turned to Planet Gamecube. I've just never been an active forum member. But there's always time for a change...
