No surprises here: Sonic 2 and F-Zero X headed to the US virtual console

The ESRB has listings for two unannounced virtual console titles, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and F-Zero X. Both of these games have been on Japan’s virtual console and the later was released last month. While this is far from unexpected, I’m glad Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is coming out sooner rather than later. Sonic’s second game is one of the gems on the Genesis and a timeless classic. Also interesting to note is Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is also rated for the Xbox 360, which means it is probably going to come to Xbox Live Arcade at some point. Sonic 2 with achievements… maybe I’ll just wait for that.
