SEGA Offer Wii Virtual Console Christmas Discounts [news]

Wow, I'm actually really surprised about this. Not about SEGA, but Nintendo actually letting them do it!

SEGA are making a similar deal on PSN for PS3 and PSP, including Sonic Unleashed/2006 DLC being 40% off. So chances are SEGA will be doing the same for XBL users too.

I think I'm going to get myself Gunstar Heroes, I've heard that it's awesome.

If this was 'discount on games that appeared on the Sega consoles' I would be interested. These ones do not. Well the ones I know.

I would get Sonic 3, but I think it is included in an upcoming DS collection, so I am waiting.

So for a very short period, they'll actually be nearly a decent price!

Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage 2 and Shining Force are definitely worth the new $5 price.

Funny, I saw about the PSN sale and tought: can you imagine if Nintendo allowed something like this on Wiiware or VC? I woudl think that sales would pick up not only on the discount titles but on others as well since everytime there is a sale on PSN or XBLA you end up picking up a game not on sale because you're already there or noticed a game you forgot had released (as for me, I'll be getting the Valkyria Chronicles DLC on sale).

Best of luck to Sega. Hopefully sales of all Sonic games on PSN, XBLA or VC will make them see what type of Sonic game we want next...
