With the NA releases of Sin & Punishment and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels on the Virtual Console, paying attention to which games get VC releases in both Japan and Europe get much more important, as these games are then ready to be used on the VC, and sport the possibility of crossing the ocean.

The highlight/better of Europe's two offerings this week is Baseball Stars 2 for the NeoGeo. I've heard some good things about this game.

Joining it is The Dynastic Hero for the TurboGrafx-CD, which is nothing more than another Wonder Boy in Monster World clone.

Two games again for Europe today. If you'd like to go through Wonder Boy in Monster World again with different music, or if you like baseball, you're right at home. Otherwise, tough luck! Baseball Stars 2 is one of the finest games ever made based on the sport, with over the top animations and gameplay. Characters fight each other, break their bats in frustration and more! It's presented in such a ridiculously cool style that everybody who plays it will get a smile on their face.

We're not sure why Hudson chose to release The Dynastic Hero though. It is literally the exact same game as Wonder Boy in Monster World! Most differences are very minor, like a change of story, different sprites and different text. The only major change is the completely different, un-Wonder Boy-ized soundtrack. If you haven't downloaded Wonder Boy yet, it'll be a tough pick, otherwise, you'd do best to skip this game.

Two games again, are we getting a giant update from Sega next week or not? Check out the reviews:

Baseball Stars 2 - Neo Geo - 900 Wii Points

The Dynastic Hero - Turbografx-CD - 800 Wii Points
