They’re both two damn fine games that any platformer fan needs to play. Read all about our comparison in the latest installment of our Side by Side series.
A new batch of Genesis titles has been released for the Wii Virtual Console, and we’re here to cover them for you as always.

Read all about it and the rest of the releases in the latest installment of Genesis Virtual Console.
