Will you be buying a Playstation 3?
Are you kidding?! It's been pre-ordered for months.
I may stroll into a shop after launch day to pick one up.
Possibly by the end of this year....
Not until there's a huge price drop and some decent games.
NEVER! My other games consoles fulfill all my gaming needs.
 
 

 
Streets of Rage hits UK Virtual Console
Ah. The good old days of side-scrolling beat 'em ups.. news
Written by Seth Bland - Friday 2nd March 2007 at 12:24

Sega's MegaDrive leads the way for new games on the Virtual Console this week in Europe. In total four new games have been added this Virtual Console Friday, with three of them being for Sega's black SonicBox.

It's a good day for Sega fans. UK Wii owners can now download the legendary Sega Megadrive scrolling beat-'em-up, Streets of Rage, from the online Wii Shop.

Fans of the classic will remember it as one of the best side-scrolling brawlers of its time. Up to two players choose to control either Axel, Blaze or Hunter and hit the crime-infested streets to bust up an enjoyable variety of thugs and bosses using excellent fighting skills and whatever items come to hand.

Also from the Megadrive camp comes the Sega-developed RPG adventure, Sword of Vermilion, and BioHazard Battle - a scrolling shooter that lets up to two players to blast their way through hectic enemy-filled stages.

Turbografx also gets a piece of the action with Chew Man-Fu. This is a basic single-screen game that sees you kill all the enemies on the screen with bouncing ball weapons in an effort to foil the curse of villain Chew Man-Fu, who plans to rob the world of egg roles, fried rice and other snacks which, we imagine, would be devastating.

All three Megadrive games cost 800 (£5.60) Wii points, while Chew Man-Fu will set you back 600 points (£4.20).
