PAL Virtual Console gets Secret of Mana and Sonic

A Square Enix title graces the PAL Virtual Console this week, and it comes in the form of Secret of Mana. It’s already been out in other regions, but I’m sure someone over at Nintendo of Europe wanted to close the year out with a bang. Nevermind that the rest of the series has been milked dry, this is the game you want!

Joining it is Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Master System. I actually had this game on the Game Gear as a kid, and I remember a point near the end of the second zone that involved a nearly impossible jump from an airborne rail cart just before the boss… I only ever managed to get past it once as a kid, and thus I never saved Tails. Sigh.

Virtual Console gets Secret of Mana. And Street Fighter II. Again.

Two new additions to the Virtual Console today. What’s that? A Square Enix title? Really? Yes, it is! And what’s that other one? A third version of Street Fighter II on the Virtual Console? Why, indeed it is!

In all seriousness, I hear this version of Street Fighter II is probably the best of the three. Whether it’s worth the money if you’ve already paid $16 for the other two versions, I couldn’t tell you. What I can tell you is that the first game today? Totally worth it.
