It's very similar to the PS2 Sega Genesis collection, it just has a handful of extra games.

[Werefrog]

I'd be interested in this if it came out for the Wii...

[Nobiyuki77]

I'd be interested in this if it came out for the Wii...

Same. And if they added a Sega Master System emulator and added Phantasy Star 1

[localflick]

I love the other set they put out with 28... but it was missing Streets of Rage, Shining Force, and others that are here. I love it!

I was about to say the same think. I like the collection just before, but the additions they make to this collection make it equally attractive... especially Streets of Rage, which I've never technically owned, but just played at friends' houses back in the day.

[WD RPG WD]

Shining Force II and Beyond Oasis are worth the price alone.

And no one here can ever touch me in Mean Bean Machine. I've beat it on hard without losing once.

[GhaleonOne]

Thing is, I jumped into SEGA stuff with the Sega CD. I might be the only person that bought a Sega CD game before owning a Genesis game. In fact... I didn't buy a Genesis game for like 2 years. This collection is great for me, having never played any of the Phantasy Star or Shining Force games. I'm not sure when I'll have time to play any of them, but for 40+ games, of which I own none... and many of which are classics... for 30 bucks? I'm down.

[Kizyr]

Oh Shining Force is a lot of fun. Story's kind of lame, but it's fun.

I'm on Shining Force 3 for the Saturn now (Scenario 2).

Phantasy Star's great, too, but I only played the first one. KF

Except you are neglecting the HD factor. Also, possibly formated to widescreen.

The games aren't being redrawn ala Street Fighter Turbo HD to take advantage of a higher resolution, they're just being upscaled.

My TV can upscale any signal, the "HD" is of no benefit to most people and more importantly these are all 2D sprite based games with 64 colors. A higher res doesn't matter.

[WD RPG WD]

Are you sure about that? The game isn't coming out for another year. Does it really take that long to put a compilation together? I'm no expert on emulation but I would think they might be doing more to the games if it's going to take so long.

That or they're waiting for a less busy time of the year to release it. It's not that it takes THAT long to release it, it's that they didn't want this collection getting lost in the Christmas rush.

[Megalodon]

Upscaled to 720P. I am not complaining. As far as the amount of time it is taking them, we shall see. For $30 and to not have to blow the dust out of my SEGA CD, money well spent.

So they're waiting for Winter/Christmas next year to avoid that?

It's coming out in Spring, not next Christmas.

[Megalodon]

Says winter on the website.

[DragonmasterDan]

They're saying winter as in the actual season. (normally we think of Spring beyond January due to weather in the US).

Its actual release date is 2,10,09

Spring doesn't really start till mid-may where I live. I had snow here in June last year. What happened to global warming? I had such high hopes for that...instead it's 30-35 below some nights. Ah Maine, the only place where a hot chocolate is enjoyed more than a Margarita.

But I digress...

I'd definitely buy this for my PS3...I can't wait. Hope it looks better on my 52" HD than my actual Genesis does. Really butchers Shining Force's graphics.
