So, my guess as to what's coming next. Firstly, I think probably 9 of the above games will have a sequel show up, which eats up half of the remaining games announced. Of the games announced thus far, I could see the following getting put on there as a sequel, which I'll put in order of likeliest to least likely:
-Thunder Force III (Thunder Force IV)
-Shining Foce (Shining Force II)
-Gunstar Heroes (Alien Soldier)
-Shinobi III (The Revenge of Shinobi)
-Streets of Rage 2 (Streets of Rage)
-Ecco the Dolphin (Ecco the tides of time)
-Toejam & Earl (Toejam & Earl 2: Panic on Funkatron)
-Castle of Illusion (Quackshot)
-Sonic (Sonic 3 & Knuckles -- I know I know)
That would leave 11 more games from out of left field. These would be my guesses:
-Aladdin
-Phantasy Star IV
-Phantasy Star II
-Beyond Oasis
-Rocket Knight Adventure
-MUSHA
-Dynamite Headdy
-Ristar
-Monster World IV
-Ghouls n Ghosts
-Strider
Assuming some of those more longshot sequels get left out, I'd say maybe these games would be next up on the list:
-Herzog Zwei (Sega)
-Streets of Rage III (Sega)
-Bomber Man 94 (Konami)
-Ranger X (Sega owned Independet NEX)
If the final list of games winds up looking anything like the above list, this is going to be an amazing collection of games.
The system also needs sport, fighters and racing games.
Yeah, beyond oasis should make the list as a tribute to Yuzo Koshiro who is part of the project. I also think Sega would want to blow our mind with one of their first partnership with Atlus. Soleil is becoming extremely trendy, in addition, tons of Zelda fans would be curious about it for graphical resemblance.(to excite kids the game also has very catchy screenshots with Sonic).
Even if I don't like it, I think a Mortal Kombat could be introduced since in people mind it was part of the Genesis does what Nintendon't. (At least for the first episode). It's iconic in america.
About the revisionism touching the SNES you mentioned earlier. The genesis wasn't the only one suffering of a false image of B- console. (Yesterday, I saw a young Nintendo fan who didn't even know hard corps on the megadrive... He'll have a mega good surprise).
People barely know one action RPG of the megadrive, imagine their lack of information about the FANTASTIC outputs of the PC Engine...
Those thinking Saturn Mini will be a success are crazy.
Gamers are not ready for PC Engine and Saturn Mini.
Sega told us, they would need 10 years for a Saturn Mini ?
Fair enough! Gamers market will extend, Asia will step by step be interested by Saturn's output. Young Sony, Nintendo fans will slowly play all Mario, Zelda,metal gear of old consoles. They'll search for new experiences. In 2019, Sega will push Project Sakura, maybe giving a highlight to Saturn franchises.
10 more years seems a minimum to give the Saturn a second chance.
Offer and finish Sonic Extreme (mad project, I admit it), Sega, and you'll have a a way to get hype for the system.
Cool to see some Tiny toons Acme All Stars love. It kinda reminded me world cup on Nes.
