damn, im still holding out hope for golden axe: revenge of death adder but that's a helluva pick
boy i hope there's more to this lineup though
With titles like this, the Mega Man Legacy Collections, and that SNK Anniversary compilation coming this fall, I genuinely don't believe Virtual Console is gong to be a thing on Switch. We'll see lots of retro titles brought over by the publishers themselves and Nintendo will likely start releasing some of their classic titles on the platform at some point, but an actual "Virtual Console"-type umbrella service doesn't seem likely at this point.... but who knows
The music is problematic.What's the deal with all this Sonic 3 anxiety? What's keeping it out of digital distribution, because I have to say that it is my least favorite classic Sonic game.
Okay that' cool. So no Shenmue but at least I have this, that makes me happy.
Yep, they add a lot of things that I prefer their take than just usual emulation + rom package.
Yeah, hopefully this eventually includes Saturn and Dreamcast releases.Well, when I saw that thread title I was kinda hoping for Saturn games at least, but it's a start I guess.
Music rights. Michael Jackson and his team had a heavy hand in the music and the links have only become more clear over time (like Icecap being an unreleased Jetzons song).What's the deal with all this Sonic 3 anxiety?

If they don't bring Sonic 1 up to feature parity with the Taxman versions (widescreen, Tails and Knuckles playable, etc.) I'm going to be so disappointed.Tomorrow afternoon they will be announcing more details on the title lineup. They also confirmed that M2 will be adding new features/modes/content into games like they did for the Sega 3D Ages stuff on 3DS. Thunderforce IV is currently playable at the event today.

Preparing myself for only Genesis/Megadrive and no Saturn or DC (LOL) gamesTomorrow afternoon they will be announcing more details on the title lineup.

YESSSSSSSSSSSThey also confirmed that M2 will be adding new features/modes/content into games like they did for the Sega 3D Ages stuff on 3DS. Thunderforce IV is currently playable at the event today.
Hell yes, awesome to hear. The 3D Classics were awesome updates, cannot wait to see what gets confirmed.Tomorrow afternoon they will be announcing more details on the title lineup.

Yes! M2's work on Sega's arcade library has been absolutely nuts.Friendly reminder that instead of doing just straight ports, M2 started straight up adding new content to some of the 3D Classics on 3DS.
3D Space Harrier had a new secret boss Haya-Oh, which previously only appeared in the Master System and somewhat obscure X68K versions of the game*
(* It's in the PS2 remake as well, but we don't talk about that version)
3D AfterBurner II added a new arrange mode that adds in a new Burst mechanic (It's functionally identical to the Climax mechanic in AfterBurner Climax) remixed stages/enemy patterns, a rival pilot to face down in stages and even a short little story tying the stages together. Some of the extra content was handled by an ex-Treasure employee that worked on Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun and Gradius V, IIRC.
3D Thunder Blade had an entirely new stage based off of a dummied out/scrapped stage from the original release.
I don't know about anyone else, but I love the novelty of decades old classic games getting new content. There's something just really cool about that.
YESSSSSSSSSSS

I'm not happy, I'm actually pissed. How many times do I have pay for god damn Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog games? If they want to bring some classics to Switch they should have brought Dreamcast HD titles as some have never appeared on a Nintendo or handheld platform.
Switch continues to disappoint me, third party wise.
That's the most unreistic thing I heard. Sonic 1 genesis? On par with remakes?If they don't bring Sonic 1 up to feature parity with the Taxman versions (widescreen, Tails and Knuckles playable, etc.) I'm going to be so disappointed.
I am prepared for disappointment
What a bizarre reaction. You dont have to pay for anything if you dont want to. Plenty of people want these games.
