However, as we like to do when this sort of thing pops up, we're offering this public service announcement: if you have either the PS2 Sega Genesis Collection disc or Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, you already have this game!

Check out all the WiiWare, Virtual Console, and DSiWare offerings after the break.

Squeezing some details from Military Madness: Nectaris

Alexander Sliwinski — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:00:00 EST

Turn-based strategy title Military Madness: Nectaris is having its layers peeled away on the PlayStation Blog, but don't let the prominent Sony placement confuse you -- the game is also coming to Xbox Live Arcade and WiiWare. The moon-based military action, which is actually an update of TurboGrafx-16's Military Madness from 1989, allows up to four players to battle on 10 maps. The single-player campaign includes 32 levels and is "essentially a remake" of the original game, with updated AI and graphicalz.

Military Madness: Nectaris has no need for such highfalutin concepts like an "economic system." No sir, this game is about tactics and "decisive military action." For way more detail about Nectaris, check out the full piece by the game's designer, Kyle Tunison of Backbone Entertainment, over at the PlayStation Blog.
