Sega Sends Crack Down, ESWAT to Wii VC

September 11, 2007 3:47 PM

Sega announced two new Genesis titles "available soon" for Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console. Both Crack Down and ESWAT: City Under Siege will be offered for the standard Genesis price of 800 Wii Points ($8) at a later date.

Though similar in name to Realtime Worlds' recent supercop sandbox title Crackdown, Sega's 1990 Genesis port of Crack Down on the Wii VC will let one or two ripped dudes bomb their way to victory in a Gauntlet-style top-down shooter.

Also ported to the Genesis in 1990, Sega's ESWAT: City Under Siege puts wannabe Robocops in a the city of Liberty to show criminals how America deals with crime in the future--with plasma rifles.

I didn't mind the arcade version of E-Swat all that much, but I seem to remember it being pretty bad on the Genesis. Specifically, the controls were really unresponsive. Now I want to play some E-Swat stand-up and curse at the 2nd boss battle.
