I adore old Sega, and its cool to see them returning to form somewhat over the years. But I'm baffled that they haven't taken the opportunity to release more of their catalog across modern systems. I'd love a Master System collection, and especially a Saturn one. I would be so stoked to be able to finally play Shining Force III, as I bought a used system but the store ripped me off as the disc drive was busted and wouldn't repair or take it back. Still, I've always wanted to play it without resorting to piracy. What would excite me more than anything would be to see them announce some games returning to their roots. Don't have to be AAA, just a decent b effort would suffice. I want a good Golden Axe, and proper Shining Force or Shining in the Darkness. With that old art style, its so timeless and ... cheerful? I wondered what a SF title would look like in a Valkyria Chronicles system. Could be awesome! But no, let's just let it all rot in obscurity. I'm all for them celebrating their 60th, its great.
Sorry to piss on peoples parade, but as a disgruntled fan it just seems like there is so much more they could be doing. Where's the console love? The classic games that have yet to receive any modern port, if any? It just boggles my mind that so many companies have no idea what the fanbase wants. Jesus I'd be stunned if a Phantasy Star ala 1,2 and 4 were released. I don't care what style it'd be, a 2D game or a 3D one, just with a different art style and tone from the Online games. I know it'll never happen, as that is what they're known for now. I'll keep enjoying the Yakuza games and Atlus stuff of course, and that Balan game looks pretty cool in a Nights sort of way. But it will take a lot to rouse my interest in the company.
