Now that Vectorman's officially on sale in the American Wii Shop, IGN can call off the search and rescue team and simply leave you with a firm recommendation -- it's a classic action title that's well worth an investment of 800 Wii Points.

Join Francis as he waxes nostalgic about one of the former-console giant's most exciting ventures of the 16-bit era, The Sega Channel.
I have great memories of the sega channel, so many great games to play for a cheap price. This was gamepass before gamepass.
That’s definitely a great way to describe it. Got lots of fond memories of staying up until the early hours of the morning to see what new games arrived at the end of the month. Same goes with racing through RPGs like Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II just to complete them before my save data was wiped before the monthly update.
Sega had great ideas back in the day. I got the weird feeling that other hardware makers were just copying Sega's old ideas as the decades followed.
Sega Genesis games are notoriously difficult. We finally go back and beat Vectorman. A game that has been plaguing us for the better part of twenty years.
Sega, a company that many of us simply wish was still around in the console world, is alive in the digital/3rd party world. At least they have not forgotten their roots is a saying you may hear a lot with regard to Sega.
I'll be grabbing these 4...
Golden Axe
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 3
Wonder Boy in Monster World
Alien Soldier is like a 16-Bit boss rusg game. Very graphical and still quite good.
Some great games!
I recommend Alien Soldier, Beyond Oasis, Bonanza Bros, Columns, Crack Down, Dynamite Headdy, Ecco: Tides of Time, Eternal Champions, ESWAT, Gain Ground, Golden Axe, Gunstar Heroes, Kid Chameleon, Landstalker, Light Crusader, Phantasy Star (series), Revenge of Shinobi, Ristar, Shining (series), Sonic CD, Sonic the Hedgehog, Space Harrier II, Streets of Rage (series), Sword of Vermilion, ToeJam & Earl (series).
I wish you could toggle to the Japanese versions of Dynamite Headdy and Ristar. They're a little easier.
