Virtual Console titles listed
Updated: 2006 releases, pricing from Nintendo, SEGA and Hudson.
Nintendo says that American gamers will have the choice of around 30 Virtual Console titles for platforms like the Super Nintendo before the end of 2006, and has confirmed its own line-ups. Headliners include the likes of Super Mario 64 (N64) and F-Zero (SNES).
Meanwhile, SEGA and Hudson have issued separate releases confirming their plans and pricing for Virtual Console, with Sonic The Hedgehog and Bomberman '93 noteworthy contributions to their respective line-ups. (It's also worth noting that Hudson said it aims to put out over 40 titles in North America and Europe, and more than 60 in Japan, over the next 12 months.)
Nintendo has previously said that NES games sold through its digital distribution service will cost 500 Wii Points, while SNES games will go for 800 and N64 titles will cost 1000. Today SEGA added that Megadrive titles would start at 800 points, and Hudson said prices for TurboGrafx-16 would begin at 600 points. On this continent, 2000 Wii Points will cost you EUR 20 or GBP 14, Nintendo said in September.
