The Streets of Rage games might not be on the US version for the exact same reason they weren't on the North American PS2 Sonic Gems Collection. They would push the rating to "T" and we all know how horrible that scenario would be.

Plenty of other similarly violent games in this collection from the looks of it, unlike in Sonic Gems. So safe to say in my opinion that they're not out for a E rating with this game.
Even then, Streets of Rage 1-3 are rated E anyways according to a search I just did at the ESRB site.
So lets not fabricate drama over something that's false and isn't even known right now. Sega Genesis Collection had T games in it, and this is mostly another version of that besides the title.

Despite already owning the PS2 collection... not to mention most of the original Mega Drive games anyway... this is an absolute must buy, if only for the achievements.
"Fabricating drama"? THAT is the true definition of irony.Originally Posted by Leo_Ames
Anyway, I said the SoR games "might not be in the game". They weren't in Sonic Gems, they weren't in the Sega Genesis Collection...so I'm just saying it's possible they won't be in this release. I'm hoping they are. I only have SoR2 (my old Genesis cart) and would love to play them again (without paying $8 a piece on the Wii VC).

Looks like I might've overreacted instead, I hate those rolling eyes smiley faces. Annoying
Anyways, no one seems to have noticed that Phantasy Star 1 for the SMS is included. They mentioned that all 4 are on this. So there's another unlockable we know about, besides some version of Space Harrier.
Hell yes, I play the ps2 version a lot and this is pretty much the same thing but more.
I'll have to start my PS4 game over though
There was a version of RoS that was on the Greatest Hits and 6-Pak Genesis carts, as well as the Sega CD pack-in version and the DC Smash Pack, that tweaked the possible copyright violations but it left Spider-Man in because Sega paid for the rights to the character. Marvel's comic book stuff was dirt cheap to license at this point, but not so much now with the popularity of the movies.
I'd suspect that Sega doesn't think it'd be cost-effective to go back and work on a game that's one of many on a compilation disc or a VC download. It's shame because RoS is my favorite 16-bit game. Shinobi III is good, and is some ways superior (ie the graphics) but it just doesn't have that special something RoS has.
Sega's selling their stuff on the VC at $8 a pop. I'd suspect that's a much bigger of a profit margin than these collection, even if you factor in Nintendo's cut.
I personally don't see the point in these compilation discs anymore; that's what PSN/Live/WiiWare is for.
Why don't Sega release an absolutely perfect Megadrive emulator for PSN and make all 1st party titles immediately available for download individually. Work on all the other 3rd party titles as time goes on.
They could even incorporate it with PlayStation Home when it eventually comes out. If you buy the MD emulator you get a MD console to put in your virtual apartment. Every game you download you get a virtual representation of the actual game box, game and instruction manual to put on the shelf in your apartment. I think it'd be quite cool to have a PC Engine Duo and Megadrive again, but in my PSN house. A Saturn would be nice too
For 29.99, this is a major steal. A definite must buy.
$30 for 40+ games though. If the downloadables weren't $8 a pop I'd agree.
But I'm only in it for the Shining Forces... which I've already downloaded on Wii. But any excuse to play the game again is fine by me. (:
hmmm...

I like having the physical copy myself.
Looks like this could be the best retro-compilation to date of any kind...are there any compilations of this scale?
I'd consider the recent Xbox 360 Namco Museum release, Atari Anthology, and even Intellivision Lives (We're not talking about quality of emulation, right?), as approaching it in terms of numbers of games and the scope of the publisher's library that's being included.
And it's not far away from Midway Arcade Treasures 1/2 and Sega's own Genesis collection they did for the PS2/PSP a couple of years ago.
Capcom's two PS2/Xbox collections had a ton of stuff too, but I forget numbers and I'm too lazy to get up and take a look at them on my shelf.
Too bad Sega's Genesis racing games aren't included, but I think most would need a slight bit of rework to eliminate licensed material (Like Ferrari's Pranching Horse logo on the back of the red car in Outrun) first, something they don't appear to consider financially worthwhile.
Maybe we'll get some licensed content through DLC. That seems the most viable way to introduce content that cost extra or needed some rework than tossing it into a collection free of charge in a way.
Im all over this one.
And once again, the Wii gets shafted. I can't see how it is the most popular system by far, yet no one wants to make any games for it. Classic compilations would probably sell more on this system if anything.
Why would you put this on the Wii? People like CosmicMonkey are happily buying these individual games at $8 a pop off the Virtual Console. Makes more sense to do what they're doing, and target the people that aren't using the Virtual Console to purchase these titles.
I'm not a big VC fan. I like to hold games in my hand, and put them in my collection.
Suprized they'd cut into their $8 a pop downloads for this. I figured PSN/XLA/VC was the death of the compilation disc. Glad to be wrong, if that's the case.
Achievements/Trophies are up...

PS3: http://www.ps3trophies.org/game/soni...tion/trophies/
Anyway...I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up the PS3 version at this point. I'm thinking the 360's D-pad might ruin this one.
