It is about flipping time!
It is good to see that Sega has decided to go through wiith thier best idea in a long long time. They should just stick to what they have done best and improve upon it. Lets just hope the price is right like it was overseas!

WOOHOO! I get to play the remake of Phantasy Star IV!

WRONG!
Sega Ages remade Phantasy Star, not Phantasy Star IV. There is NO remake of Phantasy Star IV for any system. Sorry.
As for this news....YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY! I WILL BUY ALL OF THESE (except Space Harrier which holds a special hatred for me)! Especially Phantasy Star, Monaco GP, and Golden Axe!

Monaco GP + Golden Axe =
Now all we need is an Sega Ages version of Turbo.
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
Please let them be only $20 apiece... please please please...
Or less, of course.
All I have to say is stay away from Golden Axe. The genesis version is way better. The only reason I see getting it is if its $20 and your a big fan. The gameplay is pretty bad and the graphics aren't too hot either.
Duude...we can do without the "NO YUOR WRONG!!!!1" type stuff, seriously.
It's not released yet, but it's been promised.

My vague plans to "someday" purchase a Playstation2 are now definite and nigh.
Good move, corporate entities!
I'd say this also alleviates my problem with having to worry about buying a Japanese PS2 and struggle with the Japanese text in Phantasy Star.
I can just get a US one and play the US discs
Right, that's what I ment. Sorry. I just have to hold out hope that the PS2 port of PS4 WILL find it's way out in the States and not be canceled like Enix did to DW 4.

Well I hope the release Phantasy Star II
I would be a reason for me to buy a PS2
I don't think PSII will be out for a while... and I'll be shocked if PSIV is out before next Fall. Neither were on display at the TGS2003, but Gain Ground and Afterburner were... two games that won't be releasd until Spring (maybe late winter) and were only 20% and 60% complete.
There was one VERY cool thing on display at the TGS, which I would've loved to steal. Original character designs of the Phantasy Star characters, and some enemey desigs. Complete with artists notes and whatnot.
Nice.
So...we get one game per disc ala the Japanese Saturn Sega Ages? *sigh*
I've got the import Golden Axe and Phantasy Star, and as Drexel said, best to steer clear of Golden Axe. It might be an OK "collectible" $10 title but to be perfectly honest the original arcade game is much better. The 3D graphics with a 2D engine just do NOT work here.
Phantasy Star is very nice though, and in Japan these are packaged with little binder sheets, Phantasy Star has the actual binder to put them in. I hope that part of the packaging comes over here as well.
Mmmm, Fantasy Zone and Phantasy Star, two of my all time favorite sega games.... *drool*

Holy crap. It's been a while.
Oh, they'll definitely be $20 (or $10). Conspiracy is a budget publisher, and Sony wouldn't allow these games to ship at $30 or more anyway.

Let's not look gift horses in the mouth, now.
I'm definitely sold on the Phantasy Star remakes, and I wouldn't mind Fantasy Zone or Space Harrier. But do you know the Sega classic that I'd most want to see released in next-gen form?
Pengo.
