While PS2 and PSP users won’t be getting the under-appreciated classic Toe Jam and Earl as part of a recently announced Genesis collection, it looks like Wii owners might get the game on their virtual consoles. The ESRB lists these seven classics when you search for Sega games for Nintendo’s upcoming system:

• Columns
• Ecco the Dolphin
• Golden Axe
• Ristar
• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Toe Jam & Earl

Each game got an E rating, with descriptors for comic mischief, animated violence and animated blood thrown in for good measure. While this isn’t an official confirmation that the games are Wii-bound, it does seem to confirm that they have at least been submitted for ESRB rating, a logical first step. We can only hope that we’ll be able to spend hundreds of dollars on new hardware just to relive the joy that is the Toe Jam rap.
