This Monday's Virtual Console releases have been unveiled. Ninja Gaiden III originally for the NES, and Phantasy Star II originally for the Genesis.
A leaked press release can be viewed in the Full Story.
Sega Genesis had a handful of outstanding RPGs like Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II. Outside of the very best examples, many of the Sega Genesis RPGs did not get the amount of recognition they deserved.
Yes OMG.. I didn't know it was called this.. In Europe it was called Soleil.
I remember restarting it as soon as I finished it..
Story of Thor, Light Crusader deserve a special mention!!!
Hell yes.. I remember reading about that code in a gaming magazine when I was a kid, lol
Cultured Vultures: The infamous origins of one of the most infamously punishing franchises ever made as we look back on Ninja Gaiden.
Sega is bringing its massive catalog of retro games to a mobile platform near you.
WELL DAMN!
Really smart and tech conscious move though. I mean everyone is downloading these for free anyway on mediocre emulars on their phone anyway, so do this and you give a much easier and more refined way to do so that not only allows them to browse/discover games they never played but will certainly earn Sega some good publicity to the masses

Mobile...urgh
Why not give console players a bigger, better Sega Ultimate Genesis Collection
This whole thing would have been so much better on console....guess they are just pursuing the mobile market as its big in Japan.
hmm... I get a "cannot be installed on your device's country" error when attempting to install....So not available in the US yet?
I read another article that said it starts on Thurs. And today is wed. (In the u.s.) so check back tomorrow.
Started working about an hour ago (Still wednesday here) and Sonic just went free too.. you just have to manually search for it since the link on the Sega Forever site is broken (Sega delisted the $2.99 version and relisted it as free)
I wonder if everyone reading this press bit knows that their computers can be updated with those games today & for free?
It's silly... VC is really silly.
That's what I really love about the PSN, it doesn't restrict you to buying all these old ass games. They tried that out with those abysmal Midway games and it backfired big time. Sure you can buy Psone games off the service's, but the real driving force is their original IP's released for the PSN only and that's tops.
I laugh at anyone who buys a game off VC.
