Streets of Rage hits UK VC

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 some serious arse using flamboyant fighting skills and whatever items come to hand.

Also from the Megadrive camp comes the Sega-developed RPG adventure, Sword of Vermilion, and 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 Wii points, while Chew Man-Fu will set you back 600 points.
