Both with Online play! DON'T SCREW THIS UP!!!
Man, I'm glad more Saturn games seem to be hitting DD services finally. Hopefully it starts cracking things open for getting more obscure, hard to find games on like Panzer Dragoon Saga. Though NiGHTS itself is a huge triumph, even with control issues.
Now previously AM2 have done their own porting of their own products -- I believe After Burner Climax, Virtual On: OT and VF5 was them, so there's a chance they're doing it this time for VF2, STF and Fighting Vipers from the original Arcade versions.
If it's the same outfit that ported Sonic Adventure 2 and NiGHTS, which was SEGA Shanghai, then it'll likely be the PS2 versions.
Looking back at the SEGA AGES release list, they started off with some shockingly bad remakes, but ended up getting pretty sweet by the end. The following would make good to great ports over to the XBLA and PSN.
Phantasy Star: Generation 1
A PS2 remake of Phantasy Star 1, complete with new graphics. a new translation of this title would be awesome, along with a port of Generation 2 (ie; PSII remake)
Decathlete Collection
Sega's simple Arcade "olympic" titles, Decathlete and Winter Heat. Konami's Track and Field is on there, I think this might actually do well?
Dynamite Deka
This old brawler apparently got a great update to the original version. Also, considering this was called Die Hard Arcade and had it changed to Bruce Willis's character for America, it might actually be a good idea to get this, rebrand it Die Hard Arcade again, and release it when Die Hard 5 comes out next year.
Panzer Dragoon
I'd honestly prefer Zwei, but considering Panzer Dragoon has a PS2 port, is included in Orta, and has a level in SAASRT, why not?
Other stuff that they've got in the SEGA AGES stuff, including Fantasy Zone Collection and Treasure Box, would be better suited to the sweet collections M2 have been doing for Streets or Rage etc.
Interested in VF2. But after the whole NiGHTS control fiasco, I wouldn't be surprised with Sega's laziness.
And it seems like Treasure either hates the PS3 or only has the power to make Xbox Games. Not just Guardian Heroes, Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun, but Bangai-O as well.
Mischief Makers depends on Square Enix and maybe even Nintendo (who could hold rights over the western localization), so it's doubtful you'll see it on any digital services except possibly VC.Anyone know what Treasure is up to these days? They released 3 XBLA titles in 2011, now they seem silent.
They're still sitting on a boatload of gems. Mischief Makers on XBLA would be incredible.

It's pretty much 8-way with the analog stick. This for a game that came with its own analog pad in 1996.What do you mean by "control"? The controls? I've read complaints about the 360/PS3 analog not being able to replicate the 360 degree movements as the SEGA Saturn 3D pad. I can't remember since it's literally been since 1996 the last time I played NiGHTS.

Fighters Megamix please.
Sonic the Fighters is so bad and I will be buying it day one.
I love how SEGA is putting their old games on DD services. So good. We need Sonic R on XBLA and PSN too.

Dear Sega, I appreciate your efforts but............. This isn't Daytona 2, Sega Rally, Sega rally 2 or Scud Race. Good try though.
Yes, the controls. NiGHTS moves as deftly as a garbage truck. It's not a problem with the 360/PS3 sticks because the PS2 version was almost a bit TOO touchy. It's a problem with the port.
I just traveled back in time
If they're doing Saturn games, is there anyway for them to put Saturn Bomberman up?
Frankly. SEGA needs to release this game and make everyone happy:
Not to sound like a fanboy but this is the best shooting game ever.
I hope they release both Dynamite Deka games on PSN and XBLA.
Still hoping for a Border Break port more than anything else from Sega

I liked Fighting Viper.
It'd be awesome if SEGA made a sequel, even if it's a budget downloadable release.
I hope they release both Dynamite Deka games on PSN and XBLA.
Sonic the Fighters and Sonic R were fun little side games back then. By now, though.. the novelty has worn off a bit.I really wanted to play sonic the fighters.........back in 1996
Now? I dont know, back then it was a curiosity, now the franchise has been whored down to every gaming genre known to man.
Remember when the franchise wasn't even 10 years old? this game is 4 years shy from 20!
And to think the best of the best was released in the first 3 years...
they did make a sequel to Fighting Viper..........i had the EU Fighting Viper 2 for the DC. I wish they bring Fighting Viper 2 to XBLA and PSN.
VF2 on PS2 was not arcade perfect the graphics seemed off. Saturn ver will always be the best I think.
Lyrics = off in the options screen. No lyrics on the screen, though, which was probably what you were thinking about.With a karaoke mode.
