Game sequels often suffer from a reputation of being weaker than their predecessors, but that hasn't stopped Nintendo whacking a whole pile of them on the PAL Virtual Console this week. The M-rated Splatterhouse 2 leads the charge, bloodied lead pipe in hand, and is joined by Samurai Shodown II, Pitstop II, and Ecco Jr. (okay, so that's not a sequel in the strictest sense of the term, but a spin-off for the kids). Here's what that little lot will cost you:
- Ecco Jr. -- Mega Drive -- 800 Wii Points
- Splatterhouse 2 -- Mega Drive -- 800 Wii Points
- Samurai Shodown II -- Neo Geo -- 900 Wii Points
- Pitstop II -- Commodore 64 -- 500 Wii Points *
Footage of all four is past the break -- try listening to six minutes of Pitstop II's engine effects without going insane.
Ecco Jr. (Mega Drive)
Splatterhouse 2 (Mega Drive)
Samurai Shodown II (Neo Geo)
Pitstop II (Commodore 64)

do people really pay for the C64 games? Bring on the Amiga games and you've got yourself a customer

PITSTOP II???!!!
That was, by far, a game that my friends and I spent hours playing. It was an excellent competitive racing game. Just see how long you can keep those tires dark red before they blow!
