Gunstar Heroes!

So that's why it's not on the retail compilation.

[Eggo]

Sweet. Comix Zone and Gunstar Heroes. 2D resurgence FTW.

[Shig]

GUNSTAR HEROES WITH ONLINE PLAY?!

SPANUUUUUUUUUND!!!!!

[cool_dude_2049]

I wonder if that is Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Here's for hoping!

[levious]

there hasn't been any non-PS1 classic games released on PSN since that initial batch right? Rampart, Super Sprint, Gauntlet, etc...

[HUELEN10]

No Space Channel 5=I don't give a fuck.


I would Chu Chu Chuse it over anything...........
(horrible pun i know)

[Linkzg]

whats the point when they release them all in that collection for like $30?

[Shard]

Nope, I don't think so.

[Iam Canadian]

Gunstar Heroes with online co-op is an incredible idea that makes me salvitate.

Salvitate!

[Daigoro]

AWESOMENESS.

Gunstar Online?!

sweet bunch of games coming. <3 SEGA. (and of course Treasure)

[Shard]

whats the point when they release them all in that collection for like $30?

Online play for starters.

[stuminus3]

I thought this sort of thing wasn't getting put up on XBLA any more?

Actually... what's going on, Sonic is already on VC and XBLA.

Potentially stupid post, right here.

[Shafto]

Master System verisons of Sonic 1 and 2?

[Shard]

Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 are not as of yet on the PSN.

[Linkzg]

Online play for starters.

that's true then

[_dementia]

i hope the madcatz pads can replicate the 6-button megadrive awesomeness

[LiquidMetal14]

I won't buy anything that's already coming in the classics collection retail package.

[HUELEN10]

i hope the madcatz pads can replicate the 6-button megadrive awesomeness

Pic again?

[CurseoftheGods]

I'd buy the shit out of Sonic 3 if it included the S&K levels.

[Zoe]

Where's Phantasy Star I?

[Kafel]

It's only about the compilation no ?

[Lindsay]

Maybe they are releasing not these games individually but the entire SUGC as a digital download and retail release like Warhawk and some others? Even with 30+ games I can't see the game taking up all that much disc space? Sure would make more sense then releasing them seperately.

no GH for one isn't even in the comp

It could be one of the secret unlockable games no?

[omg rite]

SONIC 3 FINALLY OMFG.

I can't wait to play that game with dumb achievements. It makes me so strangely happy.

Holy crap Gunstar and Comix Zone!?

[_dementia]

It's only about the compilation no ?

no

GH for one isn't even in the comp

SONIC 3 FINALLY OMFG. I can't wait to play that game with dumb achievements. It makes me so strangely happy.

Fucking Tube 10G
Spend over one hour in Carnival Zone

[Princess Skittles]

Backbone Entertainment.

Expect ugly filters, faulty emulation and broken netcode.

[gutter_trash]

will get for em Trophies

if Streets Of Rage 2 has Online Co-Op like they did on the 360, then I will tipple dip (own original Genesis one and already have the XBLA one)

[Kafel]

Strange that Comix Zone is for PC too.

It could be one of the secret unlockable games no?

yes

[Gagaman]

Fucking Mega Drive games again, we've seen them so many times already! Get to work on more actual arcade ports or something! =Y

[HUELEN10]

Backbone Entertainment. Expect ugly filters, faulty emulation and broken netcode.

and how!

[TJ Spyke]

It's only about the compilation no ?

For compilation games, the ESRB rates the entire package (for example, Midway Arcade Treasures 2 was rated M because of Mortal Komabt 3 was one of the games) and not the individual games in it.

[Shard]

Strange that Comix Zone is for PC too. yes

That is do to the fact that Comix Zone had a stand-alone PC Release way back in the mid-90s.

[RiskyChris]

I'd buy the shit out of Sonic 3 if it included the S&K levels.

I'd pay $15 or $20, make it happen, Sega.

I already own two copies of Sonic 3 and one S&K =)

[cjelly]

Makes me wonder if there is any point getting the retail compilation now... :-/

[Aaron Strife]

Unfortunately, I have no Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

So I would buy Sonic 3 if it came to Xbox Live with the S&K levels as well.

I mean, come on, I'm sure people would be willing to pay 800 points for the complete package, as opposed to buying Sonic 3 for 400 and Sonic & Knuckles for 400 and... blah.

[TJ Spyke]

If you just want to play the games the way they originally were, it's a lot cheaper to buy the compilation disc.

[Shard]

Fucking Mega Drive games again, we've seen them so many times already! Get to work on more actual arcade ports or something! =Y

We can never have enough Gunstar Heroes.

[zoku88]

So basically, they're destroying any reason you'd want to buy that mega collection they were going to sell?

[goldenpp72]

this makes me worry, I already own SOR2, sonic 1 and 2 on xbla and the only reason I wanted the compilation was for the rumor that no more would come :/

[Negatronic]

If these come in the same wrapper that they've put the previous Sega Classics in on XBLA, I'll pass.

I don't mind the filters so much, though.

[_dementia]

If you just want to play the games the way they originally were, it's a lot cheaper to buy the compilation disc.

the games were originally stretched to widescreen and smeared with vaseline?

[Firestorm]

If it's Sonic 3 & Knuckles I'd double dip on XBLA and PSN I think. XBLA for achievements, PSN for dpad. Hell, maybe I'll triple dip just to catch 'em all.

If it's not, no buy.

[Oneself]

it would be cool if they were reworked a bit visually... but..

[No Means Nomad]

Rad. More video games that came in Sega Smash Packs that were like $5 for 10 of these games.

[akilshohen]

Notice comic zone has windows listed right beside it?

[_dementia]

Notice comic zone has windows listed right beside it?

it was also a retail PC game in the mid-90s

[Facism]

If gunstar heroes comes with online coop....

...it's bought. My bro and I used to coop that game on the hardest setting. One of my most played Megadrive games.

[TJ Spyke]

the games were originally stretched to widescreen and smeared with vaseline?

The only Sega compilation I played was the Xbox version of Sonic Mega Collection +, so I don't know how the others looked.

[Burai]

So basically, they're destroying any reason you'd want to buy that mega collection they were going to sell?

There's 2800 points worth of games here. That's more than the $30 the compilation will cost.

[Omikaru]

Fucking Tube 10G Spend over one hour in Carnival Zone

OH GOOD GOD. I remember it took me ages to work that out... absolutely ages.

I hope Sonic 3 is with Knuckles. Though knowing Sega, they'll probably release it as a standalone game/expansion to Sonic 3.
