From SEGA: Shinobi III, Dynamite Headdy, Shining Force

The latest round of SEGA MEGA DRIVE retro releases on Virtual Console includes something for everyone:

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master is the sequel to the classic The Revenge of Shinobi and sees ninjutsu hero Joe Musashi returning to battle the resurrected crime syndicate Neo Zeed.

From Treasure, makers of Gunstar Heroes, comes action-platformer Dynamite Headdy. As the eponymous hero, use your detachable head to battle evil puppets through a series of theatrical-themed stages.

Shining Force is the acclaimed turn-based strategy RPG that puts you in command of a brave warrior troupe tasked with defeating the armies of the Lord of Darkness. A huge, challenging quest awaits!

Drop Off drops onto Virtual Console

Princess Izumi has been possessed and put under a sleeping spell, so it’s up to the heroic Takashi to enter Izumi’s dreams and save her from this nightmarish curse.

Turbografx action-puzzler Drop Off is a variation on the classic bouncing ball-style action game, in which you must clear a path through obstacles such as apples and watermelons.
