Slowly but surely, the SuperGrafx is returning from the grave

OK, so that's probably a bit of wishful thinking on my part. After all, just two of the failed system's five games have found their way onto today's download services.

The first, Dai Makaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts), was added to the Japanese Wii Shop Channel early last year, while the second, Battle Ace, will be hitting the (as of now Japan-only) "PC Engine Archives" section of PSN sometime next week.

Yawn ... wake me when 1941 and Aldynes are available, will ya?

It'll be interesting to see how many PSP and PS3 owners buy Battle Ace, considering it's widely believed to be the SuperGrafx' worst title.

I understand the thinking behind making older games available for download, but when I am sitting here without 80% of the SNES's classic RPGs available, and the WORST GAMES a system has are coming out all around me...I get a little frustrated.

Yeah, I agree 100 percent, Justin. I think a lot of them will hit the Virtual Console eventually, though. Or, at least, that's what I'm hoping...

I won't hold my breath, but I will scream when they DO finally come.

You may end up being right about some of them, but I'll bet *some* of them will make it out before this generation is over.
