Wonder Boy coming to Virtual Console soon?

The Australian Office of Film & Literature Classification has recently rated Sega's Master System platformer Wonder Boy, leading to speculation that the game is on its way to the Australian virtual console.

Originally released in 1986, Wonder Boy first graced the arcades before being ported over to the Game Gear and Master System. The versions are basically identical, except for slightly reduced graphics in the ports.

Last week, Fist of the North Star became the first title from the Master System to be release on the Virtual Console, available at 600 Wii Points.

We've dropped Nintendo Europe a line enquiring into any Master System Virtual Console releases in Europe, but it has yet to respond as of the time of writing.

Virtual Console releases come out every Friday, so cross your fingers.

Glad to see finally a Master System title announced. I can't wait for Phantasy Star, that's really a masterpiece :)
