NA VC Update 06/11/07
Beware the sequels! Yes that’s right a couple more sequels hit the North American Virtual Console today at 12:00pm PST. Today’s releases are.
Lode Runner (NES, Rated E, 500 Wii Points)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis, Rated E, 800 Wii Points)
Golden Axe II (Genesis, Rated E10+, 800 Wii Points)
You may or may not have noticed that Nintendo has started putting the ESRB ratings in the Virtual Console games. I shall maintain this because I feel that it is important to follow the ESRB ratings on all games. Some games like films or certain magazines are not for children’s eyes. So if you have kids around make sure to note the ESRB rating before you have little Johnny waking up screaming at night because he thinks a chainsaw armed monster is after him.
Hehehehe chainsaw arms. For more information on the ESRB and it’s game rating system please visit the ESRB website

hehe… chainsaw arms
It’s great that the ESRB ratings are being put into the press release, just as long as they’re put on the purchase screen so the buyer knows what the game’s rated.
I remember playing Lode Runner, but can’t remember the game itself, and I never played Golden Axe II, though did play and enjoy Golden Axe. Sonic 2, however, I’ve played over and over again (and own on the first Sonic collection for the GameCube).

Ah Sonic the hedgehog 2, that takes me back a bit. I remember many a fond evening spent playing that bad boy on my megadrive.
Is it me or have Sega not managed to release as good a Sonic game as that since?!
