how about release a powerstone collection?
Honestly I don't understand why companies are focused on putting retro games on mobile where emulators are widely available for cheap and the market is looking for more casual and less challenging experiences that cost nothing.
Mewnwhile on consoles where there's proper input methods, a market looking for challenging games, and willing to pay for them, it's tumbleweeds except for hamster corp and their arcade archives which are great.
Let me guess : Sega is releasing for the XXX time the same old Genesis games.

GAF and it's mobile hate boner. Tsk, tsk.
whoops 😂ask Capcom?
Not really understanding the disappointment.
It's a collection of free games with more being added and they even have controller/leaderboard support.
What's not to like?
You say that like it's a bad thingOf course, give away the games for "free" because they know thier core fans already own them in one format or another. They hope to draw in new fans, that's what this is, a Sega social media network. They think it's smart, but it's so transparent.
On the first page alone I counted about four posts complaining about mobile and more than four posts complaining about the people complaining about mobile...but it's still a shame that half the debate on this thread is over that topic, instead of the service itself.
Because who does it benefit?
At this stage in Sega's career, they're a nostalgia act. No one gaming on phones cares about Sega games, let alone controlling games that require a pad on a touchscreen.
It's not about mobile gaming that is the issue, it's that they continue to ignore the market that wants to give Sega money.
Interested on seeing what happens when they run out of the exact same handful of Mega Drive games they've been porting to everything over and over again.
I mean, some Master System or Saturn ports might be nice for a change.

Show me the Dreamcast content and we'll talk.
Hoping for Dreamcast stuff.
The upcoming lineup will include games from all console eras, including:
SG-1000
Master System
Genesis/Mega Drive
Game Gear
SEGA Saturn
Dreamcast

From the press release :
Yes, which is why I said "show me the Dreamcast content".
I can't see any yet.
The trailer shows an icon for Crazy Taxi, and the website has an icon for Virtua Tennis. So those two are coming at least.
What's wrong with that? Everyone has got a smart devices.
i thought we were above mobile shitposting by now? it's free and has controller support. why are you upset about this?Long term commitment to classic games at Sega.
SMARTPHONES.
why even try? Fuck this world
Games are all being rolled out, all of them say not available on my country. Check back tomorrowMy TV does support Android so maybe that's an option for me.
Nope. Doesn't work with Sony Android TVs.
Sega 1 and Sega CD have been out for a while, but the rest of games are new.I'm slightly confused, so is Sega Forever a downloadable app hub to then download these games from, or are they all just standalone individual apps?
I only ask because these games are already downloadable standalone for quite some time now, no?
Was there not a mobile game made years back, could be that and not a port of VT

Weird, none of the games, (except Sonic) seem to be compatible with my Xperia XZ.

Same for my X Compact. Strange.
we've literally known this was a mobile initiative since the day it was announced so if you couldn't be assed to read about sega forever how disappointed could you possibly be?I find it really hard to believe you can't understand why people are disappointed.

I'd like to believe this is corporate synergy to rebuild the brand, use the nostalgia and ubiquitous nature of smartphones to remind people of SEGA, and of those games.
While at the same time reviving IP on Console as well as building new IP with the core DNA of SEGA games.
Hopefully this means they are taking notice of the king, HAMSTER CORP and their business model for consoles.
I like how ironic is the "We're listening" in the Twitter bio of Sega Forever.
Shenmue HD Collection? Yeah? No? Fuck me?!
