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
Yeah I love M2's work but I'm done buying digital on consoles when I don't have to.
Phantasy Star, Space Harrier, Thunder Force IV and OutRun are all great. And I'll probably sink 400 hours into Columns.
Was hoping for Outrunners. Outrun on 3DS was already fantastic and has a great 3D screen implementation.
I hope Outrun comes out relatively close to Phantasy Star in NA so we don't get this weird month or two gap between regions
Securing my ticket on this hype train. Got a huge chunk of the 3D Classics games for 3DS - Streets of Rage 2, OutRun, Fantasy Zone, Shinobi 3, Gunstar Heroes, Space Harrier, and Galaxy Force 2 - and they are some of the best gaming money I've ever spent. Gonna pick up Lightening Force and most likely Phantasy Star, but I'm most excited for the eventual NAOMI, Saturn, and Dreamcast jams.
I dont know man. A proper port based on Dreamcast release with a nice bug fixing and some QOL woud be great,
Disappointed about the PS delay though. I might just buy the collection and call it a day, mediocre emulation and all
Outrun is an obvious buy, and - hot take incoming - the original is STILL my favorite arcade racing game.
I was prepared to have to sit through Gain Ground and Alex Kidd before OutRun so this is the best case scenario for me.
It's a decent list, but man, why not have dates for some of those later titles? Are you rebuilding these games from the ground up or something?
And, SEGA, can you release some more of your arcade originals? Golden Axe 2: Revenge of Death Adder would be nice.

Thissssssss. SA1 especially needs a proper non-butchered edition on non-PC hardware badly.
SA2 while faring better in consecutive ports suffered with it's lighting taking a hit which is even more noticeable in cutscenes.
I honestly wouldn't mind if they went further and combined SA2:B's additional content/rebalances with SA2 vanille + general tweaks (like the emerald radar which got a mod fix on PC earlier this year). Anyhow fingers crossed.

Not always. In NA, Sonic 1 on 3DS and Switch use the JP art. Sonic 2 on 3DS though used the NA art.
Ah, maybe. I have the PAL version of Sonic 1 and can't remember which art it used, honestly.
From memory, there was a producer shift on both sides around the latter half of the second wave of 3DS games, perhaps they made a hard decision then... or maybe it's completely arbitrary, I don't know.
That is one deja-vu inducing, lazy ass list of old roms.
I will never pay money for original Outrun in a world where Outrun 2 exists.
I guess it would be naive to expect Outrun 2, Afterburner Climax, Daytona 1 and 2, Scud Race, Sega Rally 1 and 2 and all their other 90s and early 2000s arcade classics but still, fuuuuuuuck you Sega and every other miserable publisher constantly rereleasing the same old 8 and 16 bit games.

'lazy' is the last word that should be used to describe any of M2's efforts.
1) They are not old roms, they have tons of extra stuff
2) They already have Virtua Racing arcade announced and have plans for NAOMI games so that is literally "90's and early 2000's arcade classics"
Oh, Phantasy Star was pushed until December. Not surprised but it's nice to have a release date.
If they can continue to re-release Outrun, why have they been denying current gen formats a much begged for port of Outrun 2?
Damn, that month delay on Phantasy Star is really lame.
Huh? The line-up is solid. Thunder Force AC and IV, Phantasy Star, Space Harrier, OutRun, and Virtua Racing are all great. Though some of them are pretty frequently ported, I'll grant you that. It'd be nice to get some deeper cuts.
Yeah, it's pretty clear who has actually played M2 ports (more like remasters half the time) and who hasn't.

Well go for both since Phantasy Star isn't on the Sega collection only 2-4
Well, it is a Genesis collection and the first game was on the Master System
They don't use ferrari license in those outrun rereleases. Use meh symbol instead of rampant horse... Outrun 2 without ferrari cars (is not only ferrari logo, cars are ferrari models too) wouln't be the same... SEGA should try to get the license back.
I want outrun 2 sp sdx.
Outrun will be mine. Hopefully Outrunners will be ported as well.
M2 Sega Ages games are ports (at least the 3DS games are) not emulation and they are everything but lazy.

I meant the list of games is the same old uninspiring stuff.
M2 can do whatever the hell they want polishing Sonic 1 but it and the rest of the games on the list apart from VR are still utterly uninspired choices. People haven't had a chance to miss stuff like Sonic 1 over the years with its constant rereleases, meanwhile Sega sit on a catalogue of 90s arcade gold, most of which has NEVER been given a home release.
It may well be more lucrative to release Sonic 1 yet again than it is to release Daytona 2 or Spikeout or Outrun 2 or Afterburner Climax, but I'm not going to act like I am remotely excited or interested in being dripfed 16 bit games again in late 2018.
I'll buy Virtua Racing. The game itself hasn't aged half as well as a lot of their stuff, but at least it's something outside their 16 bit comfort zone.
I'm just disappointed in the disparity between what could be and the reality.
We were getting Model 2 games on ps2 sega ages but now we're back to Sonic 1 again.
I suppose in a few years there will be windows based handhelds that can unofficially do what sega and namco etc won't, so at least there's that.
