If they have those and Herzog Zwei (some developer/publisher) then I'm sold! The music better not be altered either.
Music is brilliant, IV is probably my favourite 16bit music.

PORT BRAGGING. ;)
But yeah - I love this on PC. That's why I... (shhh) would love to see this on Switch
Yeah for me it s Herzog Zwei, Thunder Force II then IV. All such fantastic music.
As much as I would love my PC collection on the go, M2 made me a believer with the 3DS. And we're getting Master System games to boot.
That's huge, will be great to buy 2 copies just to play some games with a friend
Sega Ages doesn't only cover Mega Drive, has better emulation, and if an arcade version exists, it is based on that istead. The individual releases are also more fully packed with the option of choosing different versions of the game and often adding features that previously didn't exist before. The M2 approach might be familar if you played the 3D Classics.
But it is 6 bucks per game.
The Sega Genesis Collection doesn't archieve excellence in emulation, but has rewind and online, and you get 50 games at once.
Sega Ages get more love and care while these mass collections are slightly better than Atgames garbage that gets tossed our way.
Switch might also get cfw and emulation soon so everbody wins.
It's based on whatever SEGA Europe cooked up for PC. It's a Unity wrapper, but I don't know much about what's going on under the hood. It seems like standard emulation with the usual audio oddities in tact, but quite a bit better than Backbone's XBLA fucky releases or AtGames' slowdown and sound abhorrence. You can toggle 2xsai, there's a crt filter, and there are slides for monitor curvature. On PC, you got mods with Steam workshop (which were just ROMs people uploaded), but I don't think that will show up.
Well I said "arguably" for a reason. I don't like the emulation on Steam. I did all my recent SOR2/Gunstar Heroes playtrough on 3DS so I expect Switch AGES give some great games with excellent emulation. I can see why people prefer Genesis Collection thoough. I'll bought it myself aswell
No need to contaminate the Switch library with Genesis mediocrity (which by the way is its entire library). VC (whenever it arrives) is all it needs.
Bro. Seriously.
There was a Sonic 2 HD fan project. I don't think Sega has ever directly done so.
Kinda weird that you'd say this in... a Genesis thread.
What are you doing here?
Look at his name and av. He's chuckling it up with some edgy nonsense.
You'll always have people that lob fire at old SEGA games because they aren't immediately leaps and bounds better than comparable offerings on SNES; and, shit like Altered Beast, Golden Axe, and Kid Chameleon keep getting attention in these comps. To those people, I'd recommend Street of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes, and Shining Force 2.
I still don't get why this wasn't announced for Switch and instead we get the Sega Ages line up.
Gross.
This is a Sega West (with d3t) thing. Sega Ages is a Sega Japan (with M2) thing. Different branches doing different things.
Detroit and this in the space of just a few days will be gaming heaven. No time for any other games once these finally hit.
Doesn't this just seem like th same selection of games that was already released on PS2, PS3, etc.
You could literally fit the entire Sega catalog prior to ps3/Xbox360 on a disc and have room to spare.
And by catalog I mean EVERY Sega produced home console game from every system, as well as every arcade title they have.

There should be a comparison chart of these somewhere. Anyways, they're not completely the same, and at this price it's not like they're porting a single game from 4 years ago and charging $60 for it while removing the original release.
Most Saturn games are INCREDIBLY small. And Sega really didn't develop much for it.
Heck, I remember how many Dreamcast games were able to be squeezed onto a standard CD-Rom back in the day when that scene was going nuts.
There's 25gb of disc space at minimum to play with. 50gb for dual layer.
Obviously, anything licensed wouldn't make the cut. So almost none of the sports games, or anime based titles.
Sega alone published well in excess of 100 games for the Saturn.
But if they managed to put even 50 of their Saturn games in a single collection, that would already be amazing.
How is this port begging? I wasn't asking for the Sega Genesis collection to come to Switch. I was simply stating that I thought it was weird that there are two different collection coming between the switch and the others.
Thanks, I hated the Steam version, but this collection could be made by different folks it seems. I wait til gameplay videos surface to see if I'll pick it up on Xbox One or wait for the Switch releases.
The full game list has been out for a while now, and Crusader of Centy isn't in it.
It could be that it's left out because it was published by Atlus.
Even though I already have the Mega Drive Collection on Steam and PS3, I look forward to be able to play Streets of Rage and Phantasy Star IV on the PS4.
Got that room menu and the same games, so yeah. Seems to be an upgrade though with online and stuff, but I'm guessing it will be patched in on Steam too.
I'm still confused as to why Sega would buy Techno Soft's back catalogue and then not put any of those games in a Mega Drive compilation.
Yeah, I wonder about that too. But we're going to see TFIV on Switch so I guess that's a start.
Is this really considered port begging?
Was that your intention?
I just dont get the warning for making a statement like you did. Is it to stop it from getting out of control?
Maybe there's some market research that suggests Nintendo owners are more likely to purchase the individual games than Sony/MS owners who would just go for the cheap collections.
Like in the PS3/360/Wii generation you could get the Genesis Collection on PS3/360 for like $40, or spend that same amount of money on Wii and only get five games. Ka-ching.
How is this different from the one that came out for the PS3? I don't mind at all, just trying to decide if it's worth a double dip.
I don't want to derail anything at all, but I agree with the content in this post. That doesn't seem like port begging to me. I think it's a legitimate question. If it's a preemptive thing to prevent a bunch of Switch owners from complaining about it, I guess I get it, it maybe that should have been stated if it was the intention.
TFIII was also a 3D Classic in Japan for the third collection but didn't make it over to the west.
