I'll be getting this the first day it comes out. With just about 50 games on it and 75% of them being good games it should go down as the ultimate compilation game.
Why isn't this coming out for Wii? The Wii certainly can handle the Genesis' graphics. Also, Wii owners are probablly more likely than PS3 or 360 owners to be into classics. Makes zero sense.

Maybe Sega thinks a compilation would take away sales from their VC releases?

That has to be a major reason, just look how many compilatins there are on the Wii. Very few.

Many age 35+ classic video game historians will only play one modern system, the Wii, because Sony and MS are not true gaming companies that started making games first in the arcades in the 70's before getting into console gaming. I am one of them.

I suspect they think Wii owners are content with buying the Virtual Console releases. A few Wii owners here at DP have even criticized Sega for releasing this compilation, preferring to spend more to download individual releases.
It doesn't make sense to me at all, I'd rather have a compilation anyday than spending $5-$10 to download 1 game.

Not only that, but it comes on a printed disc and doesn't take up the little valuable space I have left on my 360 drive with 50 more arcade games that'll take an extra hour to load the entire library currently on the drive.

Maybe Nintendo wouldn't approve it, because they didn't want people to see how overpriced the virtual console games are? Although the SNK compilations are on the Wii, but maybe that was grandfathered in.
Didn't the Smash Brothers guys want to include the full VC games on the disc, instead of just demos, but Nintendo wouldn't let them?

Considering the sad, sorry state of the Nintendo approvals process, I doubt it.
On the Virtual Console note, I generally buy compilations to dabble with, but buy VC games to actually play, especially if they're fighting games. I've not encountered a compilation disc with perfect emulation yet. Buy Mega Man collection to play a level or two: buy Mega Man 2 on VC to actually play through.

Yeah, they're making this compilation... for systems other than the Wii. A choice which I think was deliberate on Sega's, rather than Nintendo's, part. Comparatively few Genesis games have been released on Xbox Live Arcade. Also, Nintendo practically rubber-stamps their approval on every game that comes their way, so I just don't see how it's likely that Nintendo would reject this game.

That's because nobody here actually works for Sega and/or Nintendo and is willing to share with us.
Since everybody else has thrown out their own cockamamie theories as to why it isn't appearing I'll throw out mine: Sega didn't want to release something on the Wii that didn't involve motion sensor technology, as that's the primary reason people buy the Wii in the first place. And they also didn't want to bother re-coding something.

I'm looking forward to and hopeful that the possible DLC happens for this title (Sad, not even out yet and I'm hoping for more :)). I suspect the 7 arcade games we're not getting this time around from the previous Sega Genesis Collection must be under consideration, along with the arcade Golden Ax that XBLA saw, and hopefully some other stuff like some Outrun love (Space Harrier is here, so I don't see why I can't wish :)). The new stuff like Shinobi has given me some hope.

Does SEGA own Wonder Boy? I'm not clear on that. Either way, even though I have all of the Wonder Boy Master System games on cart I'd still like to see them on this collection. It's unfortunate that this character was pretty much forgotten.
The absence of any Master System Alex Kidd games is also kind of baffling to me. I mean, he was SEGA's mascot before Sonic, after all. If you have a working Master System emulator it can't be that difficult to dump a few more games into it, can it?

I believe that Sega owns Wonder Boy, they released a PS2 compilation in Japan under their Sega Ages label, maybe the games just aren't popular enough in the states for them to warrant adding them to a compilation? Or perhaps we would see them on a Master System Compilation, if such a thing were to ever happen, since only one of the Genesis games was released state-side.

No way, good sir. Have you played SNK Arcade Collection? Janky, buggy piece of crap. Slowdown central. Same with the Metal Slug Anthology, and even Fatal Fury Battle Archives for some reason.

That is good news from 1-Up about the graphics in this collection. Maybe it will be more acceptable. If I'm understanding it right there isn't a true widescreen mode like I had thought, however, just stretching. Oh well.
Mega Man Collection on PS2 doesn't switch the buttons backwards, that was a Gamecube exclusive abomination. I won't argue that it's otherwise perfect emulation, though. There are some oddities like part of an ending missing.
Leo_A
01-27-2009, 12:19 PM
Why did you ever think there would be a true widescreen mode? These games are all 15+ years old running under emulation. The only choices ever possible were to zoom way in to fill the screen, stretch, or have borders on each side to maintain the 4:3 AR. I believe we'll have all three options.
"the company's Genesis ports for Xbox 360 have been, in a word, terrible."
As for the 1up article that states this, what was wrong with Ecco, Sonic 1 & 2, Streets of Rage 2, or the arcade Golden Ax? I thought they did a great job with all of them. Were they complaining about the filters? I never noticed them since I was playing on a CRT when I bought them, but I thought the post processing effects could be turned off in the menus if you didn't like the blurry mess they caused?

Because Kotaku posted a message from a company flack saying it would be in 16:9.
http://kotaku.com/5079490/mega-drive-collection-splotches-are-optional
Check the comments. Madgerald, who claimed to be the Martin Snelling mentioned in the article and was not corrected on this point, said it would be unstretched widescreen. I probably should have been more skeptical.

Hell, I wouldn't mind playing the Streets of Rage and Revenge of Shinobi versions with the improved digital voices that were on Sega Classics disc, either.
I hated those over dubbed voice samples. In the original shinobi, when you cast a spell, he let out a satisfying screech. In the over dub, it sounded like someone punched him in the stomach.

You really have to play them next to the original games: the ports are universally pretty bad. Even if you turn off the 'enhanced graphics', certain colors and textures are over saturated, sound effects and background music are poorly emulated and don't sync properly, and anything with online play is awful. When Backbone ports something(with the exception, so I'm told, of one or two game collections, though every one I've ever bought has some problems), they tend to screw the pooch. So does it's sister company, Digital Eclipse: the port of Symphony of the Night for XBLA was serviceable, but had all the problems listed above.
They're especially bad when compared to the VC's emulation, which is spot on ninety nine percent of the time.
Leo_A
01-27-2009, 08:08 PM
The emulation side is all done by the Digital Eclipse studio, even if the Backbone name is used. I still see no problems with them, you've actually stood them side by side and compared? Or does this have to do with your dislike for Foundation 9?
I've beat them all in their original form and I can't notice any differences playing them in their XBLA versions, so its good enough for me. Same with the Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2/PSP, they've nailed Genesis emulation in my opinion.

Hey, everyone's different. Some old time gamers (playing games intensely since the 70's) have all three systems. Some hate Nintendo for bringing Japanese-style home gaming to the US, and killing Atari. And some only want a system that has roots in arcade gaming since the 70's (me). Not a put down. I want to get a PS3 for Blu-Ray, and I will surely enjoy some games. But I frown on their roots, and know old gamers who agree.
And you're 100% correct that Nintendo didn't start out as a gaming company, but that wasn't what I meant. Not starting out as one is fine, as long as they were there from the Golden Age on, and Nintendo was.

Heh...I'm not one of those "old gamers" I guess...
I'll be 34 this year and have been playing games since..well..probably about 1979. I have seen a whole lot and have played a whole lot. I have seen the might and glory of Atari, Commodore, Coleco, Mattel and others. I have seen how Nintendo brought on the return of the game. And I have seen how Sony had started a new revolution in the industry. Their roots are just as strong as any of the others...sorry to disagree with you. And that IS coming from an "old gamer"...although I still don't like to be considered old :)

Or perhaps we would see them on a Master System Compilation, if such a thing were to ever happen, since only one of the Genesis games was released state-side.Hmmmm... I have that Sega Ages game (Volume 29: Monster World Complete Collection), but I also have some of those same games on my NES and PC Engine in the form of Adventure Island. Looking at Wikipedia, it says:
To further complicate matters, Westone had a unique licensing arrangement with Sega whereby Sega retained the rights to the names and characters of the games in this series, but Westone retained the rights to everything else. Westone, in turn, had a licensing arrangement with Hudson Soft, who created new characters and titles and ported these games to non-Sega platforms. The most well known of these is Adventure Island, which was more commercially successful than Wonder Boy was.
I have no idea whether that affected the inclusion of Wonderboy on the compilation of not, but I'm sure it's a possibility.
Is Alex Kidd really not in the compilation? That's... just wrong. I wanna play janken!

I know this is slightly selfish, but I'm kind of glad that they didn't include any Master System Alex Kidd or Wonderboy games as I already have the originals and I don't have Golden Axe Warrior or Phantasy Star. Besides that, those two games go for a lot more money online and it makes the value better. I would of liked to see the Genesis Wonderboy games on there though.

The only Wonder Boy Master System game where that might be an issue is the first one, and Sega has released that on the Virtual Console, so it's kind of confusing. And they own Alex Kidd free and clear, so I can't think of a good reason not to slap his games on the disk.

Monster Lair is the one Wonder Boy sequel that resembles the original game in terms of gameplay and visuals. However, it isn't the same game as anything with Adventure Island in the title. Every Adventure Island game except the first was developed from scratch by Hudson.
And to be the more annoying accuracy geek, Monster Lair resembles Wonder Boy, rather than Adventure Island.

I ended up ordering it from Amazon, since everywhere in Canada wants $39.99 for this. Amazon had it for $26.99 with free shipping, so I grabbed that and 1400 MS points for $38.83 shipped.

That's because today was the ship date. Most stores do not get games on the ship date, unless they specifically go to the airport and pick them up. It'll be in stores everywhere tomorrow.
I got mine at Bestbuy today
They told me they didn't have any copies than when I was at the checkout, It was sitting in the gamecase and I have to say it's really cool :)
I picked it up for PS3 because I didn't want to wait for my 360 to come back from repair. but It's worth it on either system.
