Hopefully we get some big new games in the line-up and not just more of the usual we've been seeing. Like maybe some of the hgiher-end system games from Arcades, or better yet, a Saturn or Dreamcast game.

Current line-up so far:

Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)
Thunder Force IV (Genesis)
Phantasy Star (Master System)
Alex Kidd in Miracle World (Master System)
Gain Ground (Arcade)
Space Harrier (Arcade)

So I found out that Thunder Force IV actually is basically the Saturn version since it has all the enhancements from it:

- Option to reduce slowdown
- Kids Mode which lowers the difficulty and you don't lose weapons upon losing a life
- Styx from TF3 is an unlockable ship.

All were in the Saturn version and are in the Switch version. Sweet! :D

It's not, they've already talked about how they're implementing these features natively into the MD version.

The Saturn version doesn't have a slowdown toggle, either, it's just faster and it's not necessarily better for it. M2 almost didn't add a slowdown reduction option for this version because certain sections of the game were clearly intended to be played with slowdown, but enough people asked for it that they complied.

I want the Sonic Adventure games on the Switch; but Dreamcast games seem pretty far off.

Revenge of Death Adder would definitely be the go if they've completely ruled out Saturn games from the first wave.

Personal dream apart from Panzer Dragoon Saga is Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram with virtual twin stick controls using something like ARMS motion controls.

I just really don't want the same games they've already been reissuing a million times over

Excuse the question, but what console range does the Sega Ages line cover? Just to temper my wish for some Dreamcast games. ^^

For the first wave they have announced games from Arcade (think 16 bit arcade), Genesis and Master system.

They announced that Saturn and Dreamcast can be on the second wave, impying it is not on the first. They didn't mentioned but 3d arcade games like Daytona, Scud Race and Spikeout are probably out too.

Sweet. I didn't think it "could" happen so fast.
I'd give a lot of money for japanese Shining Force 3 games on the Switch.
Hope it's possible.

They said 1 to 2 games a month and at least 15 games so the "so fast" is like 8 months from now THE FASTEST. Probably a year.

yeah I'm not gonna hold out hope for Saturn/Dreamcast games

But it would be cool to see some 3D arcade games, like Virtua Fighter or something. IIRC M2 worked on the Sonic the Fighters port for 360 so they'd done similar work before.

I see, thanks for the heads-up. Will postpone my wish for Skies of Arcadia and just let myself surprise what they announce, then. ^^

I'll take any announcement that isn't a M2 port I already bought before. C'mon it can't be that hard! Herzog Zwei, Landstalker, Alien 3 The Gun, Virtua Racing. I'll even take ports we got before on PS2! Alien Soldier, Phantasy Star IV. C'mon!

2 Konami games, huh?

And when are the first games even releasing?
They were scheduled for August.

I guess the Naomi/Dreamcast era is retro enough already to start putting those games in arcade collections. Like... it's been almost 20 years.

As much as I'd love games that they've not done before, if they announced OutRun like that 3DS version, I'd be very happy! :)

Let's just keep announcing all the games and never release any.
