Sega just announced, and tons of your helpful readers just confirmed, that both Golden Axe and Ecco the Dolphin have popped up on the Wii Shop Channel.

Man, Golden Axe, I love that game. I can't want to get home and (re)play through that game. It was one of my favorite arcade games when it first hit. If you are lame to super lame and haven't heard of these games hit the jump for their descriptions and to be ridiculed. Brian Crecente

Golden Axe - Three mighty heroes have a score to settle with the evil Death Adder in this classic action game. As a powerful fighter, a female amazon or a mighty dwarf, you'll fight through Adder's henchman with weapons and magic attacks or ride the fearsome, fire-breathing beasts to your advantage. (1988/ SEGA)

Ecco the Dolphin - Help Ecco the Dolphin find his missing friends by exploring his vast ocean world. You must surface for air and keep an eye out for enemies as you search the depths. Ecco's unique sonar ability will give you helpful information from other sea creatures. (1992/ SEGA)
