When Shining Force II was released on the Wii’s Virtual Console a few weeks ago, Sega fans across North America rejoiced. First released in the 1990s for the Sega Genesis, it is one of the era’s most fondly-remembered games; it is also one of the Genesis’ best-known RPGs. How long are its legs, though?

Shining Force II is now available for download for the Virtual Console for 800 Wii Points. This TRPG was originally released for the Sega Genesis way back in October of 1994 and has since become quite rare.
In the latest issue of Famitsu, Sega has announced the latest addition to the Shining Force series. Shining Force Feather for the Nintendo DS revolves around the adventures of Jin and Alfeen, and takes places 3000 years after a great war. The game’s art is being done by Pako, who worked on Shining for EXA, and Noizi Ito, a manga artist who’s worked as illustrator for the Haruhi Suzumiya and Shakugan no Shana novel series. The game is due out in spring 2009 and already has an official website, though there’s not much on it yet.
