Nah, Fighting Vipers
Sigh, I kinda hope this drops out of nowhere and releases this week
The SEGA 3D Classics took forever to come over here, but at least we have confirmation these are coming at all. There was a big question mark if the 3DS ports would arrive over here for a time, and they ended up not even finishing the series off with us anyways. Pretty messed up we never got the Game Boy Advance SEGA games for Wii U either too, now that I think of it...
Thank goodness SEGA's a much better fan-focused company now than they were then.

Thanks for the reply.
I would have thought ThunderForce IV would be releasing sooner rather than later.
Guess we have to wait for the TGS now.
Hope to see some announcements soon although I'm not interested anymore in the stuff I have on my PS4 Mega Drive collection now.
Is this limited to Sega games? I'd take a Castle of Illusion for example.

M2 had made a Castle of Illusion version exclusively when you pre-order the 2013 remake. I think it was that way?
This wait is killing me. I'd love to play Phantasy Star again on the Switch.
I was going to pick up the PS4 collection, but they conveniently didn't include PS1, and I don't want to hook up my PS3 to play Sonic's Ultimate Collection.

Licensed games like Castle of Illusion are probably off the table.
They already did
That combined with Nintendo releasing games like Donkey Kong through Arcade Archives is pretty much it. There's no VC
The 20 nes games surely cant be the only back catalog content we get on switch. Why twould they pass up on the opportunity to resell me snes or N64 games when they have historically taken every other opportunity to do so?
If the arcade archives thing is the route theyre going with (i.e. just releasing old games on the eshop with no real fanfare or 'brand') then thats fine, but why not just say that?
Personally I want them to just release the classic console software collections as bundles. They can literally get me to buy the same thing twice if they do. But who knows.
That's what the classic consoles are for.
Not saying I agree with their method, but it is what it is.
But then why have the NES games as part of the online subscription? All that does is create the expectation and appetite for classic games on the switch but then restrict it to a mere 20 from the oldest console? Just doesn't add up
I thought they said it wont be under the Virtual Console banner only.
Virtual Console as we knew it is dead and now something else with a different name and nature will replace it.
That would be amazing!

Um, it's starting with 20 nes games and more games will be added over time(Snes has been semi confirmed)
I've been playing the Sega collection on my PS4 and it's definitely gotten me nostalgic for games that weren't on it. Currently playing Phantasy Star 2 soon followed by 3 and 4, so getting a chance to play the original which I've never played makes it a day 1 purchase when it comes to Switch.

Thunder Force 4 and Sonic coming in August for ¥999 each.

"There will be Saturn and Dreamcast titles in the future as well, if it goes well beyond the first 15 games."
Fuck yeah. This made my day.

I have been waiting so long for those Japanese PS2 releases to finally reach other platforms. Hopefully that will finally happen with the Switch.
As part of a 'first batch'. If this is the same as they've been promoting in the West we've got gain ground, Alex kid, and phantasy star likely too, and we know the first wave has 15 games. Also $9 bucks, him wonder if it'll be lower in the west
I am unreasonably hopeful for Saturn and DC ports on Switch
ChuChu Rocket (with local and online) would be a dream come true on Switch and I'd love to play Crazy Taxi again

Can't believe we still to this day haven't had a Chu Chu console rerelease...it's such a great party game!
Would've been a great fit for Wii with pointer + dpad.
Well there was the iOS/Android version, that has been pulled now, but yeah it would be great to see it rerelease on current platforms.
If it's not just a standard $10 pricing, could be $7.99 to compete with Arcade Archives.
Well if it makes you feel any better thunderforce I've is practically a port of the Saturn version from what I'm hearing. It has less slowdown and the styx mode from that version.
Also I'm so glad thunderforce Iv is becoming a fan favourite it felt like for years I was the only one who knew what it was. When did it become popular again?
Yessssss, so glad Thunderforce IV is in the first batch, one of the best horizontal shooters ever.

Aye, as well as the surprisingly decent GBA port as long as you could adjust to two face buttons. That was also neat in having a ton of custom levels imported from the DC's community.
I honestly suspect it may be in part due to its stellar soundtrack, it frequently gets brought up when discussing the MD's best tunes.
This SSH remix of the intro & Metal Squad has 800k+ views, as well as some hilarious comments flabbergasted over its intensity :p
I'll make the thread

Should get more eyes on this than this ancient thread

I agree that most of the modern notoriety that TF4 has acquired comes mostly from its soundtrack.
At least in the US, that game never made any waves in the years following its release. Shmups in general just always seemed to be ignored.

IMO Thunder Force III had a better soundtrack than IV, and a better SSH remix too:
I was a big big thunder force fan back when these games were new. I got Thunder Force III with my Genesis, and then went out and bought Thunder Force II because Thunder Force III was so badass. I loved both of them and played them all the time. I would have gobbled up Thunder Force IV if I had known it existed.
Except Sega called it Lightening Force and thus it slipped under my radar entirely. I didn't find out about TFIV until years after the genesis had died.

I already bought some of these games on Wii.
Not buying any digital games again till legacy content is properly managed.

Don't look at me, it was my favorite MD game :)
9 bucks though... was hoping it would be a bit cheaper, MD games were 7e on the Wii
Have they stated if these will be widescreen or not? Classic Sonic and widescreen goes together so well. And I really hope Sega doesn't pull the same bullshit they did with the 3DS M2 releases where only SOME of the titles make it to the US and Japan gets everything.
I need a few things:
- Nintendo, allow me to buy more than one game at a time please
- Hey Nintendo, I'm going to need folders!
That's the dream for me. A M2 authored re-release of classic model 1 and 2 titles.

Hmm.these seem to be more enchanced ports though in fairness. Let's see what they're like anyway. I think it may be worth it in the end to have a definitive version if your favourite game.
Yeah, Just read about the game having an extra mode in which you can play with TF3 ship and weapons so I'm definitely in now.
