Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
How comes no revenge of / super shinobi? Is it music copyright or something? They took spiderman and batman out iirc all those years ago but it always just seems to be shinobi 3 that ever comes out.

Edit: oh hang on, it’s on the video.

Supposedly this game list may end up being the same as the Genesis mini units they released a few years ago.

I am curious to know if these will have achievement support or online multiplayer support.

Would have thought the trophies would be like on the megadrive collection from the 360 / PS3 era.

Personally doubt there would be online play.

Well, this explains why Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection never became backwards compatible.

SUGC had some good SMS games and arcade ports thrown in. Hopefully Sega does the same here. An unlockable Sega Rally or Virtua Fighter Remix would take away the feeling that I've already bought Genesis compilation discs on Dreamcast, PS2, and X360.
 
The boxart has Toejam, so Toejam and Early will be in.

I suddenly miss the sonic mega colle tion i had on xbox because it was the only collection that had Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

The list of confirmed games just comes off as meh, i played enough of them from the genesis collection on the 360

I am still baffled they have not thought about selling columns or a Columns HD games on Play Store and App Store... people love puzzle games on mobile.

That, and Columns 3 was the shit. Played so many hours of that.

Columns on Game Gear was so addicting... soooo good. Actually, battery life aside, playing indoors with rechargeable batteries or AC adaptor, the Game Gear was a really nice console and some of the games were miles ahead visually of any other handheld... little understood TV capable beauty :D.
 
I already have it on Steam few years ago for most of the title from Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classic, why they rel;ease it again for PC though

I bought the Megadrive & the Genesis collection (double Trophy list) for PS3. Will be getting this as well.

Looks like they added a few games they already released seperately after the collection on PS3. Not much surprises.

I think we can add Sonic 3 as it was in the PS3/360 collection.

Toejam & Earl & its sequel are safe bets as well, as they were published later on & feature in the trailer & on the cover.

I wonder what's next to Sword of Vermillion in this picture.

This brings back so many memories... i'm tempted. Will they do any image improvements so the games don't look terrible on modern screens?

They dam we'll better name it the megadrive collection for all us non savages :p

Also SoR online co-op. Do it Sega. I can't beat that boss stage all on my own.
 
If I could add anything to this collection, it would be Starflight and Shadowrun....if I was greedy I'd add Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Power Monger, and Speedball 2.

I wonder if the lack of Switch means there's some weird, stupid Virtual Console policy in place that we're not seeing.

Owning an Everdrive (and a ton of these legit), I don't have much use for this on PS4 or Xbox but I'd buy it on Switch day one. I miss the days of bringing $30 worth of batteries with me to play my Nomad.

Yeah baby!
  • Streets of Rage
  • Streets of Rage II
  • Streets of Rage 3
Been too long, there are probably other great games also but this is what I'm excited for.

Why Sega is focusing on the Genesis so much is because it was their single most successful platform they had out of all of their systems they released between 1982- 1998... otherwise they missed a HUGE opportunity here, they could have thrown in Sega Rally, Daytona 1 and 2, Panzer Dragoon, et all....but instead it's the same re-releases as before.....where as you can't even play Sega Rally on today systems...

I agree. Every compilation....even going back to Dreamcast and PS2 has the same damn games. There are a TON of other Genesis games made and published by other companies that I bet they could add....like Jungle Strike, Star Control, Subterrania, Strider etc.....

Probably going to buy anyway, despite being the same games every compilation. Would be nice to have some 32X and Sega CD games.
