This week marks the debut of Sega Master System games on the Virtual Console. What better way to kick it off than with Wonder Boy!
Wonder Boy – Master System – 1987 – 500 Wii Points

Cruis’n USA – N64 – 1996 – 1000 Wii Points

Having a new console available virtually makes Wonder Boy our easy pick of the week! What’s yours?

Wonder Boy was kinda nice, but I’ll wait for Alex Kidd!

First one is ok… the second one is just about shovelware!!! Even the first outrun for the old Genesis is a better experience!!!

They should have put Alex Kidd in Miracle World as the first SMS game! That was, by far, the best SMS game ever made.

Crusin’ USA for the Arcade was better. The Trophy Girl had lots more skin showing. Graphics seemed better too. This was back when it was being made for the Ultra 64.

Agreed, Noremakk, but Psycho Fox was also greatly awesome.
