There's also news for the Wii's Virtual Console: the Genesis version a Strider can be purchased today. We hadn't heard about a Genesis VC game in a while, so we looked into it. As far as we can tell, this be the first Genesis game on Wii in North America since Sonic & Knuckles, on February 15, 2010. it be been two years 'n a day since the last Genesis VC release.

In fact, this appears t' be the first Wii Virtual Console release a any kind since The Ignition Factor six months ago. Enjoy it! This doesn't happen very often.
