Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker may be coming to Wii Virtual Console soon, as the game has appeared on the list from the European ratings board (PEGI).

Although this is no confirmation, often times games are prematurely revealed by these rating boards. It is unclear which version of the game it would be. But it most likely would be the Genesis version of Moonwalker, which was the most popular (It was also released for Arcade and Master System).

If the game is released, it would mark the first licensed game for the Virtual Console (not including the Super Star Wars trilogy, which LucasArts owns thus it isn’t exactly “licensed”).

In Moonwalker, Michael must rescue kids from the evil “Mr. Big” and his goon squad, while “attacking” them with various dance moves set to the music of Beat It, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal and Bad.

I never got to play this game so I hope it does come to VC. I’ll definitely pick it up if it does.
