It'll probably only include games that Sega developed or published themselves. I doubt it'll even have third party DC games that are already on XBLA, like Rez, Ikaruga, Triggerheart, etc.
"The titles are still to be announced," said Pritchard. "The Ultimate Genesis Collection did huge numbers on PS3 and 360, so it's an important part of our business. We've already been releasing some Dreamcast games digitally; Crazy Taxi [for one]."
Space Channel 5 Part 2 XBLA ports
Crazy Taxi is already available. What else from Dreamcast is there to play? Sounds like a wrap to me.
I'm sure they will find some lame-o reason for not releasing the good games, like because there's some licensed music track in it and it's soooooo hard to remove or replace it because the original programmers quit and went to work for a real company
How was the Nights port on PS2? I own it, but I need to get an import PS2 to play it. The original Nights is one my favorite games ever--sadly I don't own a Saturn anymore.I'm still bummed we never got a Saturn pack. All I want is Burning Rangers! It never even got a Sega Ages release...wtf!
SEGA Ages needs to be revived on a new system. God I love that series, along with the two unofficial installments (NiGHTS, SEGA Rally).

But when I consider that JSR isn't bc or on xbla/psn whereas JSRF is, I gotta go with JSRF as it's a more accessible game. You can probably pick it up for 1 dollar at the local gamestop and it's 360 bc.Excellent plan. This just became a goal for my upcoming trip to US and gamestopz.

here's an article about sega ages game in case anybody caresOoh, that's a goodie. I've always been curious about the evolution of that series. I'd heard D3 was at the root of it, but it's still unclear if they were working specifically with D3 or just inspired by them. However, it is good to be completely warned away from Golden Axe, the only item which really interested me in the set. When I first arrived in Japan in '93, there was an arcade with that in it, and I killed many breaks between classes bashing in skulls with my axe and being robbed blind by those goddamned blue capped sprites.

also while nights is not a sega ages game,a nights port for ps2 did happen

Sega, master trolls :bow2
Also PS3 gone? Xbox 360 gains another console exclusivo 8)

fucking SEGA
Sega once again drops their balls on the eyelids of every one of their fans, takes pictures of it and posts them on Facebook

from what i understand it's just the XBLA titles they released on a disc
That's not too bad actually. Could've been much worse...That box art is a train wreck. It has NO idea where it's trying to go, and will only manage to confuse buyers who aren't already Dreamcast fans.

Michael Jackson was a pretty big Sega fan back in the day, so I'd think that his estate wouldn't have a problem okaying this.Space Michael is in. There's even an achievement for rescuing him. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/space-channel-5-pt-2/achievements/
I think it's pretty fucked they can keep MJ in the game but couldn't keep The Offspring in Crazy Taxi.
why the fuck did I have hopes for this? Why cant Sega THROW US A FUCKING BONE sometimes.
Nintendo would sooner try to piss a diamond.
