Countless games tend to go unnoticed or unappreciated. Over the years, many of these titles garner a loyal following of gamers who enjoy them for what they are, and thus cult classics are born. This is part 1 of a 2-part series detailing the top 10 video games to achieve cult status. Stay tuned for part 2!
Gunstar Heroes never gained the popularity that games such as Contra and Metal Slug did. That's strange, considering this shoot 'em up is just as action-packed as those titles. Luckily, gamers can check this gem of a game out on the Virtual Console.
"SEGA Europe has been running a promotion in cooperation with Nintendo this festive season, and here at Electronic Theatre we thought we’d take this time to draw your attention to the fantastic selection of titles available at a reduced price, before it’s too late.

If the Entertainment Software Rating Board's listings are to be believed, Gunstar Heroes, Phantasy Star II, Comix Zone and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 are all coming to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. No release dates or UK release notes have been posted, but it's nice, hey?
"It is possible for Old-Wizard to dislike something that Nintendo made. There are plenty of games that were failures for the Nintendo franchise, but there were just too many good games to destabilize Nintendos power. One of the games we think that was overrated for the Nintendo franchise was Mario 64. It was made out to be huge, and it looked huge. But the storyline (that saw its height in Mario 3) was non existent, the controlling was below average, and game play was average compared to all ..."
Hot off of release Ikaruga on the Xbox Live Arcade, legendary development studio Treasure revealed their current plans: two titles for the Wii, according to President Masato Maegawa, in an interview with CNET Japan. Currently, there are no specifics, other than the two games will be 3D titles, instead of their standard 2D. Also, his team is putting the special features of the Wiimote to use.
Treasure is cult video game developer widely known for their sidescrollers, shoot-em-ups, and ove...
