New Sega Genesis collection for 360/PS3

Nice trophies, I cant wait to get this one!

[Zap!]

Off-topic but are there there any compilations at all for the Wii?

metal slug anthology. There's also a namco museum for it but i think the games are "enhanced" to make sure they look totally awful, and to use the wiimote.

Nice achievement list, looks like February 10th is going to be a good day. 29.95 according to Amazon.

[Nebagram]

Excellent, liking the look of those achievements- and completing Sonic 1 and 2 on XBLA with the analogue stick, I'm not too fussed about transferring my 16-bit skills in other games over.

[DigitalSpace]

lol @ the "Blast Processing" achievement.

I just picked up a SNK Arcade Classics volume 1 compilation for Wii. It's good and a lot cheaper than buying these things on the VC. They're crazy priced on there.

[jupitersj]

Yeah I think I'm also picking this up for my PS3 instead of 360 due to its shitty d-pad.

[Sudo]

Add me to the list of those picking up the PS3 version. There's no way I'm going to play 2D games with the 360's D-pad.

[geneshifter]

Oh, back on topic, I really want to get this but will have to wait until I get a PS3 because the 360 D-pad is just awful. I wish they would release this on the Wii and I would be set. I guess I could get it on the 360 since I have a hori arcade stick, though.

[titanzguard]

Ill be picking it up the first day it comes out. Not sure about all of you but I like trophies over achievements so ill get it for PS3.

[RPG_Fanatic]

I'll be picking this one up!!!!!!!!!

[Leo_A]

I'll probably get the 360 version, I prefer Live and achievements. Seems strange not being logged into XBL when I'm on the PS3.

I'll probably get the PS3 version down the road and see how much better the games control with the d pad.

And who knows, we might all end up getting both of them. The PS2 and PSP versions of the last Genesis collection both had exclusive unlockable arcade games, maybe they'll pull something similar again with classic gamers like us double dipping to get the different unlockables.

This is kind of random, but it just occurred to me...with all those Turbo/PC-Engine CD games going on the Virtual Console these days, why hasn't Sega ever considered a Sega-CD comp disc? For every POS FMV game, there was one or two really well-made action games or RPG's. Ecco CD was a masterpiece, for example, and Dark Wizard and Shining Force CD are definitiely worth revisiting.

Of course, some of the really truly great Sega CD games would require quite a licensing headache (Working Designs games, or the Sega Cd version of Wing Commander for example) but there were a few really good ones that Sega developed on their own. 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.

Just a crazy idea I had.

If more people cared, then Sega probably would do a comp of Sega CD. Unfortunately, there is only a small loyal following of Sega CD fans, and even a smaller following that acknowledge how awsome Dark Wizard is(one of my favorites and glad someone else agrees ). This post makes me want to bust out my Sega CD collection to play some gems!

hopefully maybe some of the unlockables will be Sega CD games! I do recall that Sonic CD was on a Gamecube comp.

I can only hope. The demand may not be there right now, but if they just released it and issued some kind of explanation for it (maybe try to appeal to Genesis fans and tell them that these are definitive versions of classics), it's possible a fair amount of interest would be generated then and there. I'd buy it, anyway.

Glad I lured you away from your PS3/360 for awhile, BTW I'm envious, actually. I don't have Sega CD hardware anymore and I'd kill to burn through Snatcher and Dark Wizard these days.

Sonic CD was a pc port on Sonic Gems, Sega doesn't seem to want to emulate the Sega CD.

[Neil Koch]

I'd like to see some sort of Sega CD compilation. I've heard that Sega CD emulation is pretty tricky though, and as was pointed out a lot of the games would be rights/licensing nightmares since a lot of them used real music and actors.

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.

RoS probably will never get a legit re-release due to the Spiderman boss, sadly.

Crap, I forgot about that. Is there any such licensing woes with Shadow Dancer? I own the cart, and I just can't firgure out why that was never reissued. I actually prefer it to RoS, in fact (even the soundtrack!).

I hope a 2nd Collection comes out for the PS2 with the Shining Force games.
