VC in Brief: Sonic & Knuckles (Sega Genesis)
This week’s release is quite the treat. Sonic & Knuckles was a great game when it released back in the day, made even greater if you had yourself Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 — which you probably did. Now that experience is on the Virtual Console and if, like me, you have both of those games downloaded on your Wii, you can relive the experience all over again.
Or you can just watch the above episode of VC in Brief for free.
- Sonic & Knuckles (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
Every week, we like to check out what’s new on the Virtual Console. We offer these videos as a sort of taste to help you decide whether or not you would want the game in question. We also toss in our own two cents because we’re pushy jerks like that.

As promised, Sunsoft’s brought Blaster Master to the Virtual Console — though we think the impact is somewhat dulled by the quantity of other games available for download this week. There’s a total of 11 different games available, so head past the break for the full list.

Road Rash HD Test Footage Smacks You Upside the Head
Road Rash was one of my favorite games on the Sega Genesis, so hearing that it’s making a welcome return pleases me to no end. Road Rash should have been a long-standing franchise like Need for Speed and Test Drive, but for whatever reason, the series went straight into the toilet and hasn’t been heard from in many, many years.
Electronic Arts’ Warrington studio is hoping to revive the motorcycle classic and they’ve released some very early test footage of the game that instill some hope. While most of textures haven’t been placed within the game as of yet, what you see here is gameplay testing. It looks like a lot of fun. Better yet, it looks like Road Rash.

We say: Dude, it’s Shinobi. We don’t need to say anything.
The Virtual Console gets hit with a nasty case of flying shurikens this week in The Revenge of Shinobi. It’s classic ninja action on one of gaming’s classic consoles. Who wouldn’t love that? Okay … maybe pirates.

NintendoWare Weekly: Picturebook Games, Revenge of Shinobi
Today’s highlight is no doubt Revenge of Shinobi, the first Shinobi game on the Sega Genesis. What’s funny about this is that the third game in the series on that console, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master, was released on the Wii way back in 2007. Two-thousand-and-freaking-seven, people! How crazy is that? More after the break.
