Sega revealed overnight that Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Ecco the Dolphin and Streets of Rage 2 will all be available on Xbox Live Arcade shortly. This will be in addition to Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog, which Microsoft released on XBLA yesterday.
"Titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage 2, Ecco the Dolphin, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Golden Axe were ground-breaking in their day," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, Sega of America. "Now with their debut on Xbox Live Arcade, gamers can enjoy these classics with all new HD-enhanced graphics and online features."
Gamers will have to part with 400 Microsoft points to purchase these classics, which is a snip at £3.40. All five of the games are already available on Wii Virtual Console although at 800 Wii points, it converts at a couple of pounds more expensive (£5.36) than on XBLA.
Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will all be available as multiplayer games on XBLA. All five games will feature revamped graphics, as well as achievement points and online leader boards on Xbox Live.
