It seems that
Sega managed to get a satisfactory amount of attention for releasing
Alien Soldier, despite putting it out on the same day as
Super Mario Bros. 3. They announced that they're going to continue releasing import games on the American Virtual Console (at the same premium price, of course). Maybe now we'll see stuff that is
completely new to the U.S.;
Alien Soldier and
Golden Axe III were both Sega Channel games.
This is wonderful news! Slowly, companies are getting the idea that the Virtual Console is good for more than just "greatest hits" -- that it allows players to discover games they hadn't, or
couldn't have, played before. Too bad the import Mega Drive game we
really want, Treasure's
Yuu Yuu Hakusho Makyou Toitsusen, has a license that will make worldwide release difficult, if not impossible.

The only thing I want to see come from Sega on the VC right now is Phantasy Star II and IV. They're the only ones I've yet to play all the way through. Heck, nothing would be better if I could get ahold of all four of them. Seeing as how the first one is a Master System game, I doubt it will ever come to the VC.
