SEGA AGES (Switch) |OT| To be this good on the go takes AGES! (Alex Kidd and Gain Ground are out in NA and EU on March 28th)
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Yay :) I might have enough credit to get it. Otherwise I'll just buy more. It'll be 2020 before its released over here at this rate...
Woop woop! Here we go! Another 1000 yen card to purchase.
Sorry for the SHIT quality on the second icon, but I haven't been able to datamine it myself yet, so this was taken from a YouTube video. But here's a comparison of the Japanese vs western icons for Wonder Boy in Monster Land.

Sigh... It's like they stopped working on it halfway through. Anyway, I'd still get it on the EU eShop, don't want them to think that there's no demand for these games here.Woop woop! Here we go! Another 1000 yen card to purchase.

After buying the EU version, you can just switch countries and download the JP version anyway.
Yeah but this is a single SKU, so the icon changes depending on your console's current region, not where you downloaded it from. Downloading the Japanese one today on our western consoles gives that western icon.
Hmm, so maybe change the region of the console itself, instead of just the account.
But that's going too far just for an icon... :P
I hope they'll step it up a notch when it comes to western releases, but yeah, at least we got a release date now!
They've already announced everything that's coming, and they won't be making a decision on whether or not to continue porting games until all the announced games are finally out.
Kinda glad I got distracted and never got Wonder Boy. Will grab it when its released over here then.
I suspect they want to give it some distance from Champions. I think they already said all currently planned Ages titles would be getting global releases so it'll showup eventually.
So all of Wave 1 is known now? I hope the positive western sales are enough to keep the series going.
Yeah, they said they've wrung every last drop out of their current budget and there absolutely won't be anything more announced for this wave.
That's cool, they ended up delivering four more games than originally promised (15 vs 19).
Ah gotcha! G-Loc n Space Harrier are the ones im looking at then
Anyone here uses the hori joycon dpad to play sega ages games? I bought one and to my surprise I discovered that there are compatibility issues within the original games while using it, like for example in gain ground I can move within the menus, pause and the like, but for the actual gain ground I cant even insert a coin. Is there a known compatibility issue or Im doing something wrong? I didnt configure anything I just plugged the joy con and played
It happens ultra rarely but it is a weird quirk. Just detatch and retatch and it'll be fine. It often gets that way if another controller is turned on
Youbare right, first time I had the original left joycon turned on, then after having issues with Gain Ground I was fooling around on the controller setting and turned on my pro controller. After your post I turned on the Switch while making sure that nothing else was powered on and worked, thanks
Excellent to hear Virtua Racing and Wonder Boy will finally be here in a few more weeks (pending any usual delays).
The wait for Sonic 2 is killing me though. Announced last September and still not out yet. I can only hope M2's using the extra time to add in some of the extras from the Whitehead version...

And yet not a single one from their Model 2 back catalogue and beyond. Really kind of a shame considering that's where most of the games that have no home ports period are from.
They got to Model 1 and System 24 though. Hopefully Wave 2 gets greenlit and we start to see MCD, 32X, System 32, Model 2, Model 3, Saturn/Titan, DC/Naomi...
Anyone have any hands on impressions with Space Harrier? Really excited to spend time with this
Also need to get back on Virtua Racing and play online with some NA peeps.

Ah, so there is a Columns 2. Always wondered about that, given Columns 3.
Shinobi Arcade will release on Sega Ages:
I've played that one quite a lot on the Wii Virtual Console, so I hope M2 will give the game some enhancements to make another purchase worthwhile. For example, adding the extra weapons of the Master System version would be pretty cool!
Not nearly as interesting as Columns III: Revenge of Columns. Why are the columns so vengeful?
Right? Should be 'Return of Columns'. It's not the Columns way to seek vengeance.
I've been out of the loop with these releases. I'm buying Wonder Boy and Space Harrier tonight. What an awesome weekend this will be.
