If you're into RPGs and in Europe or Australia, today's Wii Shop update is killer -- the original Phantasy Star for Sega Master System is available! For a ridiculous 500 Wii Points, you can get one of the best role playing games ever made. We hope you have a high tolerance for first-person dungeons.WiiWare gets another of Arc System Works' Family titles, about which we've learned to be wary -- but we're intensely curious about the idea of a slot car racing game. Also, Tecmo's 3-2-1 Rattle Battle!, a game whose openness about being entirely about shaking the Wiimote frantically is impressive.
On DSiWare, Europe gets a number puzzle game with online multplayer, based on a larger DS game that didn't come out there! And Flipnote Studio finally arrives! Go download it and make Flipnotes! Right now!

Cool :) I was waiting for this before getting any of the other Phantasy Stars. I've never played one before. Hopefully it comes to NA!

It's in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection ($30) if you have a PS3 or 360. You need an extra controller to unlock it, though. For some stupid-ass reason.

Just a Wii, unfortunately... That collection is CRAZY though. 49 games?? That would be like $350(-ish) on the virtual console!
But hey, when you look at it that way, it totally justifies buying a 360 just to play Phantasy Star :)

The emulation would be better on the Virtual Console. :P But yeah, you can't beat the price.

Beat this game many time through the years and I always have a tough time finding that darn hovercraft.
