I REALLY hope we actually get Saturn, Dramcast, and later arcade games from like Model 1, 2, 3, NAOMI, etc.
+1
So again we got (probably) overpriced old games while in the meantime in others platforms Shenmue 1-2 is revealed. FFS.
Yeah, I'm hoping we actually get the Phantasy Star remakes this time around.
I was waiting for this. So happy. Would prefer them all to be released individually like on 3DS, but this is fine.
Yes, they should move to Model 1 and Model 2. Hopefully that is in the pipeline.

Yes please. I really hope we do get Virtua Racing this time around.
Now THIS would be something. And if people say that M2 modifies the games to get the best possible version, they could make a port of the arcade version with all the content from VR Deluxe (32X).
Really hope this means they'll release arcade games that never got ports. Maybe something like Planet Harriers. But glad that it's not just more Genesis titles.
Great news that it's more than just Genesis titles and there are some arcade releases coming. Definitely keeping my eyes on this, especially with M2 involved.

Random thought I had; what if the reason Shenmue isn't coming to Switch right now is because it'll eventually be here as a more straight-up DC game?
The thing is, I'll probably end up buying these. Switch is going through a soft drought right now and summer is no different. I don't have the luxury to choose, if I want to play my Switch, I have to buy whatever is there.
What do you mean? Like that it won't be an HD remake, but more of a directly emulated release? Either way, I don't see why that would be the case. It makes no sense.Random thought I had; what if the reason Shenmue isn't coming to Switch right now is because it'll eventually be here as a more straight-up DC game?

No the reason Shenmue isn't on the Switch is because Shenmue 3 isn't going to be on the Switch. It's pretty simple.Random thought I had; what if the reason Shenmue isn't coming to Switch right now is because it'll eventually be here as a more straight-up DC game?
M2 bringing Sega Ages lineup to Switch including arcade titles and limited Genesis focus?!
DAY.
ONE.

Looking at the success of arcade archives, and other classsic releases on switch, as long as they release the good stuff our odds are great!
I love super scaler games but come on M2, we need some classic Sega polys on the Switch!!
Yeah, M2's 3DS output was amazing, so I'm excited for this. I'm guessing the mix will be similar to the 3DS output as far as arcade versus Genesis/Master System goes, which is fine. I'm good with Genesis titles if they keep upgrading them.
Not sure if the Phantasy Star logo specifically means the original, or the series in general (I very much doubt it's the Playstation 2 remake). But I'd love to get PS1/2/3 with M2 touchups, all three of those games could use some QoL love (amazingly, I kind of think Phantasy Star 1 holds up the best).

I never played Skies of Arcadia. I remember it Camden out on Dreamcast, I never had one. I remember the ads in my Gamepro magazine for it when it came out on GameCube. But I didn't have one :(. I think eventually it released on PS2 but I had moved on at that point I think :/. I would love to see it on Switch.
How so? How is trading a large package of games for a reasonable price for buying the same said games individually any kind of "worth it"?
Because most of these will be the definitive versions of each game... many will actually be significantly improved over the original titles. M2 is the best custodian of retro video games for modern platforms on the planet.
It depends on how you value retro re-releases though. Playing the Genesis Collection on the other platforms will be akin to dining at an all-you-can-eat buffet at Golden Corral. Each Sega Ages release on Switch will be like biting into a high-quality steak.
- They've already said there's going to be a mix of Genesis, Master System and Arcade stuff, so that's already two more platforms than said large package and not as much overlap
- These releases tend to get additional bells & whistles/content to justify buying them as opposed to the straight ROM dumps most Genesis compilations end up being
It's like the difference between buying a discount bundle of 5-6 old movies on DVD from a generic distributor, and buying one Criterion Collection release at the same price or more.

I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself my dude
