Sega has announced four new Genesis titles it will bringing to the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. Historically, this means that all four titles will be available by the end of May. Side-scrolling beat-em-up Streets of Rage 2 and the funktastic Toe Jam & Earl 2: Panic on Funkotron are slated for release, as are Shining in the Darkness and Kid Chameleon. According to the press release, Genesis titles "start at 800 points" (US $8), though no game has yet surpassed that price point. The only two titles to break the standard price barriers are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (600 points for the NES game) and R-Type (800 points for the TurboGrafx-16 game).

$800 is a lot for a VC game.
Still, Streets Of Rage 2...

I held out on Streets of Rage 1, but I think I have to get 2. And I loved me the hell out of some Kid Chameleon back in the day. It was as if I was a kid and a chameleon at the same time.

I never did quite like TJ&E2 quite as much as the original. Still, I might give it another shot.

Actually, 800 points is $10.00 Microsoft is being tricky by making the points cost 25% more than you think, 1.25 cents each.
