Streets of Rage on US VC

Along with three others.

Another Monday, another mutilated-handful of American Virtual Console games most of us can't play. Oh well - perhaps they'll offer us Eurogamers a hint of what to expect on Friday.

First up is Donkey Kong Country (SNES, 800 Wii points), which is actually already out on our Virtual Console (ha!) along with New Adventure Island (TurboGrafx-16, 600 points). Crikey, that is too.

The Legend of Kage (NES, 500 points) isn't though, so perhaps we'll see that on Friday. Although we'd probably rather get our hands and feet on Street of Rage (Megadrive, 800 points), which SEGA introduces as its offering.

That is, we would, if we actually used Virtual Console, and hadn't simply kept most of the old games we liked ten years ago in a box in the loft.

Anyway, got an American Wii? Enjoy that lot. And watch out for more European examples on Friday.
