If you like sequels to Sega Genesis games, you’ll love today’s Virtual Console update for North America.
Leading the pack is Sonic the Hedgehog 2, notable for being the only Sonic game that I will begrudgingly classify as “alright, I guess.” Congraturation, Sonic Team!
Golden Axe II, I hear, is significantly better than the first game. It’s a Genesis-exclusive sequel, totally different than the arcade follow-up. I’ll probably give it a download the next time I go VC fishing. If you wish to comment and tell me why I should, I am all ears!
Finally, rounding out the list with some boring garbage, there’s the NES version of Lode Runner. Not really sure why we should care when we already have the multiplayer Turbo version, but okay. And you thought we were getting Paper Mario or something this week! Ha!
