We're so glad Sega Master System support came to the Virtual Console, because now Australian Wii owners are going to have a chance to play ... another Wonder Boy game! Even better -- it's another duplicate game, too! According to a new listing on the OFLC ratings page, the first Sega Master System game to appear on the Virtual Console in Australia will be the original Wonder Boy.If you like Hudson's Adventure Island, chances are quite good you'll like Wonder Boy -- because Adventure Island is the exact same game with a different character. It's great that Master System games are coming out in regions other than Japan, but do we really need another conduit for duplicate Wonder Boy games? Really, we like the idea of releasing all kinds of variants and permutations, but let's get more original games out first.

Well, I imagine this is the low-hanging fruit, since it was essentially already rated by the ESRB.

I'm personally holding out for Phantasy Star 1, Fantasy Zone: The Maze, Action Fighter, and a light gun version of Safari Hunt. That would pretty much complete my console video game childhood.

How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away with mind bullets?

For some reason I read this as "Finally! A Virtual Console game on the Virtual Console!"

I read it as "Finally! A Wonder Swan game..." Wonderswan games would be cool.

I can't get excited about Virtual Console until Nintendo starts releasing an actual substantive number of games each week. 1 game a week is a pathetic joke..... the games were made years ago -- all Nintendo has to do is throw them on a server. They can't throw more than 1 game each week onto the server?

Haha...'cause this was my favorite game when I was young, and for that I downloaded Hudson's Adventure Game. Oh the Irony. I'm probably going to download this version again just for the awesome background music. ;_;

I'm scared that you've played all the TG-16 shoot-em-ups. You're hardcore
