MJ's Moonwalker for Virtual Console

SEGA's classic Moonwalker game may be heading to Virtual Console months after the death of the man it's based on, Michael Jackson.

PEGI supplies the evidence: a listing for the game on Wii carrying the 12 age rating.

An adaptation of the Moonwalker film, the game follows the story of mean man Joe Pesci and hero MJ, who spins and kicks his way through 1930s period baddies. Hit songs "Beat It" and "Smooth Criminal" feature.

SEGA has not commented.
