Edit: I was lied to. Still cool.

[Jansen]

i wonder what the forth phantasy star game is. i really hope it's the first one.

[Smooth Groove]

How much would all those games cost if you buy them on the Wii's Virtual Console? 

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Hells-Fucking-Yeah!

although most of these have already been released in past Sega compilations.  And there seems to be a dearth of shooters, c'mon, no Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone, really?

What the hell, I'm still buying the shit outta this.

[demi]

Its supposed to be $30 too

[fistfulofmetal]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMIXXXXXXXXXX ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I haven't played Vectorman in so long.

[fistfulofmetal]

Whenever my Sega Channel updated and I saw Comix Zone, that would be an awesome day.

[muckhole]

I'm just glad they're not skimping on the collection by putting like five games on the disk and calling it "Volume #1".

Shining Force

[BlueTsunami]

Vectorman 1 and 2 

[muckhole]

Still, my favorite Genesis game was Contra: H.A.R.D.C.O.R.P.S.

Konami, can you please put this masterpiece on XBLA/PSN???

[youtube=425,350]cFQQISr9mdE[/youtube]

That's still hands-down my favorite Contra game. Wolfman all the way.

[DJ_Tet]

Damn, that's a pretty hot collection, especially for the price.

Virtual Console


I'm excited I might actually be able to earn some achievements.

Old School Games

[cool breeze]

That is a pretty ballin' collection.  I'll pick it up unless something goes terribly wrong.

And I just realized that I could use my saturn controller to play it on the PS3.

[tiesto]

I'm dying to see what the achievements for the PS games are...

[demi]

50 / 1000 for Retail

10 / 250 for Arcade

Then again, ACDC Rock Band is 250, and that's sold as a retail disc

[The Sceneman]

Orange Box has like 100

will defo pick this up for the mean bean achievements

[E-DuB]

So mine. If not to give Streets of Rage 2-3 another good romp but to replay the Shining Force games

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I'll pick it up when it is under $15.

[Himu]

This is so mine

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

These cunts need to stop re-releasing Genesis shit and start having a large collection of Model 2 and high tier Saturn efforts. I want to play all chapters of SF3!

[ferrarimanf355]

I may get this, but only for the PS3, I doubt the X360's D-Pad is up to the task here...

[Sho Nuff]

Not to sound like a total Sega fanboy, but uh, I am pretty sure the 360 has the juice to properly emulate all those Model 2/3 arcade games

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

It does.

Get your shit together, Sega.  At least give us a Shining Force III compilation disc.

[archie4208]

Shining Force 2 on my TV without having to own a Genesis or Wii?  Sold.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Here's a crazy thought, what if some of those as of yet unlockables were just straight ports of some of Sega's recent Sega Ages line.  The ones they made after splitting from D3, the arcade perfect/revamped PS2 versions of Panzer Dragoon, Dynamite Deka/Die Hard Arcade, Dragon Force, Virtual On, Fighting Vipers, Galaxy Force, Space Harrier, After Burner, etc.

There's buttloads of already-done console ports and remakes that Sega has that haven't yet seen the West.  Is it crazy to think they may utilize some of their nifty back catalog, as long as their already ROM-dumping with this package?

Boy, I sure hope so.

It ain't gonna happen, but I think it would be nice to have in a separate collection...

[gibletsngravy]

I bet they could fit all of Sega's console games on 1 blu-ray.

"Mega Drive Collection filter can be turned off, say Sega

Sega has confirmed that the 'smoothing' filter that has been seen applied to classic games in screenshots of the upcoming Mega Drive Collection will be optional.

Speaking to RPGSite, a Sega PR representative confirmed that the filter which proved controversial with fans would be optional. "I’ve had confirmation that the filter can indeed be switched off," Martin Snelling of Sega UK told us. "And the games will display at whatever ratio your console is set at – 4:3 or 16:9. If playing in 16:9 the game will fit and not have black borders at the side." he added, confirming another feature that will please fans."

VC emulation > Backbone's sloppy emushit



Backbone

If bang for the buck is what you're concerned with, go download Kega Fusion and some roms. smh

[tiesto]

Backbone
Digital Eclipse

[archie4208]

I'll take vaseline filters over paying $8 for a ROM.

[jiji]

Everybody's got their priorities, I guess.

How many Genesis collections are we going to get?  Move on to Saturn and Model 2 emulation please, Sega.

[demi]

Saturn has zero games to go back to, nobody would buy it.

[Jansen]

dammt amazon still doesn't have this up for preorder

[jiji]

I'm worried about a lot more than the optional blur-o-vision. Backbone/Digital Eclipse have shown repeatedly that they are awesome at finding ways to mess up emulation.

hey now, Digital Eclipse were the dudes who did the very stellar Capcom Classics Collection 1 and 2, as well as Sega's very good Sega Genesis Collection.  All of those guys are now at Backbone.  There's no reason why we won't be getting fully accurate ports outta this package.  They've done it before, I expect not even the PS3's arcane architecture can stop them.

[tiesto]

Digital Eclipse were also the dudes who butchered Phantasy Star Collection on GBA, with a bug where the game had a 20% chance of crashing if you tried to save in PS1.

It didnt have PS4 in it, who cares

360 > GBA

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Fuck it.

I can just hook up my laptop with S-Video to a TV and just play there.

Wake me up when Sega begins Model 2/3 compilations.  Rehashing Genesis shit should have died with last generation and the Game Boy Advance.

[demi]

The sega page says this is in fact $30

Will buy
