ESRB rates seven Genesis games for Wii

A recent search of the ESRB website turned up some scintillating results. Though not confirmed for launch or any specific timeframe, the names of seven Sega greats are listed on ESRB as coming to the Wii virtual console...and holy hell, can they pick 'em. Check it out:

Altered Beast
Columns
Ecco the Dolphin
Golden Axe
Ristar
Sonic the Hedgehog
Toe Jam & Earl

You might recognize these games as being utter classics, some of the very best the Genesis had to offer. Most have at least a cult following, and they're sure to add a huge boost to the VC's popularity. Oh, how we long to echo-locate once more...

Altered Beast and Sonic the Hedgehog better be free, since they were pack-in titles.

But who am I kidding?

Yourself.

golden axe ftw

Rise from your grave!

I played columns a ton on my game gear.

WELCOME TO YOUR DOOOOM

TJ and Earl!! I can't wait to get my funk on.

Hmmmm, I hope it's just a mistake. Classics are just classics to stay classics :)

I think it was said in an earlier post but just because these games got ratings doesn't mean they are going to be available at launch. Sega might hold back and gradually release games so as to generate even more hype for the virtual console.
