Bright Hub's David Sanchez defies "the man" and checks out the taboo fan-made Streets of Rage Remake. How awesome is this game? And why should you find a way to play it?
"Last week’s Electronic Theatre Sunday Special was the run down of Top Ten Videogame Heroes; featuring the protagonist you loved like Sam Fisher, Sonic the Hedgehog and Link. So to prove that the games industry isn’t just a man’s game, this week we focus on the Top Ten Videogame Heroines. Ten of the females that got you hot under the collar, and not in the Dead or Alive Paradise way, but stayed on track with the heroic mission which faced them have been chosen for this week’s feature article."
"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. Right now on the Virtual Console service for Wii, ten SEGA Mega-Drive releases are available with a 40% price reduction."

I'd love to see anyone try to sell video games like that now.
Considering how anti-bully and anti-violence today's world is - this would never fly. Ah the 90s... simpler times.
"Unlike Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, this game actually is a sequel.
Originally released in 1993 by SEGA, Streets of Rage 2 is the second part of the side-scrolling beat em trilogy that became one of SEGAs most popular franchises at the time. Weighing in at a mere 28 MB and costing 400 Points, Streets of Rage 2 features Single Player along with supporting 2 Player Co-op both online and off. Taking place one year after its predecessor, the city goes to hell again ironically afte..."
"The elves mining Nintendos vaults for classic games have unearthed three new ones to add to the Wii Shop Channel. They feature ragers, lasers and, um, monkeys not in cages. Anyway, its unlikely that youve played all three of these, so go ahead and check em out. Or the elves will cry.
The three new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the game..."
