SEGA confirms a 'Best of...' selection of MegaDrive titles will be available on Nintendo's next-gen machine...
Fifteen years ago nobody would have thought that the likes of Golden Axe and Afterburner would seen on a Nintendo console, but that's all changed today as SEGA confirms its support for the Nintendo Revolution's Virtual Console. According to the statement SEGA plans to release a 'Best of...' selection of Genesis (MegaDrive) titles on the next-gen console when it arrives later in 2006 although exact games weren't specified.
"SEGA continues to develop innovative ways to showcase its new generation leadership," says Naoya Tsurumi, Chief Executive Officer, SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe, Ltd. "SEGA's support of the Virtual Console system will introduce more gamers to classic Genesis hits and reinvigorate many of our popular brands."
News of the deal broke during Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's keynote speech at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, where he also announced that Hudson would also be supporting the Virtual Console with classic PCEngine/TurboGrafix titles.
We'll have more news on the Nintendo Revolution shortly...

It doesn't matter how good the Wii console is, all the games are rubbish.
family bowling
Family fishing
Family execise
Family necrophilia
There is no point improving the console unless they sort the games out

Yeah, apparently Ninty are working on a new console with graphics to match PS3/60, and motion controllers/games are being created by PS3/60, so its all gonna be good in the end eh! :)

I really would like to see a Nintendo console with HD support. It's the standard, they really do need to catch up.

What Bing popups - are you on about MS search engine? If you're on about the textual ads, just avoid hovering your cursor above em - simple.
Information doesn't drop from the trees I'm afraid...

Just outputting to HD won't be enough - there will have to be increases to the Wii's GPU and memory to make the visuals look sufficiently better. the Wii HD is just a pipedream invented by an anlyst that doesn't actually get that many things right...
