Virtual Console TG-CD Game List (updated 03/15/2010 - Rondo of Blood)

[Odonadon]

Yes, but you're also talking different regions. Wonderboy V came out on the U.S. Genesis VC, and it's coming out on the Japanese PCE VC. Still only one version per region.

Unless it also came out on the Japanese Megadrive VC.. Then that's a different story.

But this brings up another point I've been wondering about for a while. Is SEGA going to put a stop to them releasing the old SEGA games on the TG-16 VC? So far we haven't seen one yet, have we?

Wonderboy is probably a special case since SEGA doesn't exclusively own the rights/license to those games.

Dynastic Hero isn't a Wonderboy game - shouldn't be any issues with that.

No new TG-CD releases this week.  Looks like Hudson is slipping the release date for Super Air Zonk to Nov.  Still no official word on the other TG-CD releases planned for the rest of the year.

Kinda the same deal in Japan.  I d/led Ys I II (awesome!  duh and even though Cho Aniki came out, Gradius II was pushed back.  That possibly delayed the next couple games too.

Oh, and the next CD games in Japan to be released are Dynastic Hero, Take the A Train, Kawa no Nushi Tsuri (Fishing game), and Gradius II.  Interesting spread I guess.

Interesting, a Konami game is in there. I wonder if Hudson Entertainment will bring the Konami games out here?

That is interesting, since MWIII already came out on Genesis (didn't it?). Wouldn't that be the first time the same game has come out on different VC platforms?

Not sure about US Wii VC stuff, but Jpn Wii VC has Gradius NES and PCE versions available.  I think that was the first game.  Oddly enough Gradius II will be the next multi-platform VC game once the PCE ver is released.

Uhh, yeah.... I hope you're being facetious.

Funny, since I used the Wonderboy V walkthrough to play through it. I guess that means I can use the Night Creatures walkthrough to play through Space Harrier, right? I can't wait to get home and try it out! I always knew there was a way to transform the Harrier into a badger!

[Odonadon]

No, seriously, it's not.  Dynastic Hero is based on Wonderboy V but is an entirely different license.  They share some graphics, gameplay, and level design, but they are not the same game.  The only official Wonderboy game released on our beloved system is Monster Lair.

Put down the pipe, Odonadon.  The title was changed, but it was handled by Westone and is essentially the same game.  Click here for a nice comparison of Wonder Boy in Monster World and Dynastic Hero.

Its only called dynastic hero as a pun of the fact that the hero is a dynastid beetle.

Very interesting - I haven't seen that connection before.

Not only the title, but some graphics, the story, characters, and animation as well.  Bottom line is there is no mention of Wonderboy, thus not of the Wonderboy license.  Like Cratermaze isn't Doreamon.

Maybe we'll get Doki Doki Panic then.

Super Air Zonk is out now.

[BonkThis]

Big Day The ESRB Two has rated two more candidates for the Wii Virtual Console. Ys I & II, Rolling Thunder 2 Due have been rated which is usually a good indication that they will come to North America in the next few weeks. Ys Book I & II is a role-playing game collection released for the Turbografx-CD and Rolling Thunder 2 is a side-scrolling shooter classic.


Ys I & II.. Picking up steam!!!

[Dark Fact]

Hooray for Air Zonk!

The Turbo CD builds and builds!

When is the SuperGrafx version of Die Mockee Moora coming out?
