Sega Master System releases on Wii Virtual Console
We'll cut to the chase - today heralds good news for Virtual Console (VC) fans everywhere, especially Japan. Why, you might ask? Simple - the Sega Master System is being brought to the Virtual Console at last, joining the selection of decent hardware already ported through the VC system on the Wii.
This also means we're sure to see Game Gear titles released as well, since the Master System and Game Gear used the same technology. Japan are reportedly getting Master System games for 500 Wii points with Fist of the North Star and Fantasy Zone starting off the action in February 2008. This puts the Master System in a great position as a budget selection of retro games that many will remember growing up playing.
The more hardware that VC supports, the better. We'd hope to see Dreamcast and Gameboy/Gameboy colour titles in the future, perhaps?
