SEGA's classic arcade racer SUPER-HANG ON (Virtual Console Arcade) will be released in Europe on 3rd May for 800 Wii Points.

Freakin' finally. Hopefully NA won't be far behind.

Awesome news. I figured we weren't going to get this one.

Was that the one where they wanted you to hold the remote and Nunchuck like bike handlebars to play?

Lol I have this game for my genesis on the sega 6 pack it's okay but don't expect to play it for hours straight

@lonlon - This release is the superior arcade version.

not to be rude but where's the source
on a side note though, yay another game that NA won't get for another 3-8 weeks.

Virtual Console Arcade isn't dead.

What a disappointment - for me at least.

I should have realised, but obviously, the arcade version lacks the GP mode of the Mega Drive version. The controls took a bit of getting used to although I do remember old Sega games asking you to use the action buttons to select different options. Why the heck couldn't they let you choose your stage with the direction buttons?

The music - another fond memory for me is drowned out by the engine noises. I don't see myself playing it a lot now I've realised.

For 900 points, it wasn't cheap either (even before the PAL tax).

What were you saying?

@vio I said that because I thought we weren't going to get it today in NA. Glad I was wrong about that

dont tell anyone you own an original system because you will get a drive-by internet typing lol
im a survivor of a few myself

Wow, NoA brought us this game too. That was impressive.

Might actually blow some cash on this one.

800 pts. for a VC Arcade title aint a bad price, but this game doesn't interest me in the least. I would've much rather received the arcade version of Super Off-Road. I guess receiving any VC Arcade titles at this point in the Wii's lifespan is a blessing. To each their own, I guess.

It's out now soooooo just wondering who's going to buy this game?

I thought this one was only for Europe for now. If that is not the case, I will give it a try.

@G4L Hey at least it's better what capcom did in 2010 examples:
Nintendo life reviews
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 4/10
Exed Exes 4/10
1942 5/10
Black Tiger 6/10
SonSon 6/10
Ghost 'n Goblins 7/10
am I the only one who notices capcom's first 6 vca games?!?!?! They were not well received by any other critics either just saying

Well, I think of those, only 1942, Ghosts 'n Goblins and maybe Commando had much popularity.
I'd be surprised if many people said they'd heard of Exed Exes (or it's official English name, wasn't it something like Attack of the Savage Bees?) or SonSon.
Though they were also some of Capcom's earliest games, so it's perhaps not surprising they don't hold up as well as the late '80s/early '90s (CPS series) games they were probably most well-known.

@kingmike yeah you have a point but they could have gave us better games from the arcade!!!! But no thanks to abysmal memory (40mb) that cant happen!!!!
Those 6 games nearly destroyed the virtual console arcade because after that the service got no games since 2010. All in all I rather have 1 great arcade game instead of 6 mediocre ones
