I don't know how old this is, but I found it through an update on my Facebook account under Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
Take a trip back in time with over 40 titles from the SEGA Genesis® era, including your Sonic The Hedgehog favorites, for only $29.95! In classic single-player and multiplayer battles, you’ll take down a huge variety of enemies, including Sonic’s nemesis Dr. Eggman (AKA Dr. Robotnik), shuriken-flinging ninjas, hordes of altered beasts and the world’s greatest fighting champions.


FEATURES:

• THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF CLASSIC SEGA TITLES. All the favorites are here including Sonic The Hedgehog, titles from the Phantasy Star™ series, as well as three titles from the Streets of Rage™ series, to name a few.

• UNLOCKABLE CONTENT. Unlock arcade games and interviews with the original game developers as you earn Achievements on the Xbox 360® and Trophies on the PLAYSTATION®3.

• ALL TITLES UPGRADED TO HI-DEF. The classic 2D style never looked so good! Each of the titles has been converted to hi-def (720p) and will be a blast to play using the intuitive controls of the Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3 systems.

• MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER OPTIONS. Play these classics together with a friend from the same console at home.

Personally, if all I had was a 360 or a PS3, I would be excited about getting the Shining Force series, Streets of Rage 1-3, the Vectorman series, Comix Zone, and the original Phantasy Star series on one disc.  Plus, hi-def for the old 2D graphics.  What do you guys think?

I think it's a huge list, even if it has Sonic plastered on it. But, if it's worth playing a compiled game collection than playing today's games, then meh.  ::)

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

Are you serious!? No Knuckles' Chaotix!?! :O

That's the only old Sonic game I want to return to the Nex Gen systems.
Oh well, there's the other Sonic games. :'(

Well, we can easily talk this over in IM, since Knux Chaotix was a nearly-unheard of in the Genisis Period, since this game was probably known to Sonic fans. (Well, that's what's after the SNES period, but whatever)

Knuckles Chaotix really isn't a Genesis game. It's a 32X game. There's is a difference. I'd rather have Sonic CD, anyway.

don't we have all these games on other collections already? and what's so great about hi def sprites? doesn't that only make them worse?


What happens in Vegas stays on Youtube. I also stream on Twitch from time to time.

That looks like a pretty good collection of games, I actually recognized more than 75% of them.

Hopefully Gunstar Heroes is added, otherwise I say neigh. I've already got the Sonic collections and unlocked all the "extra games" (Vectorman 1&2, Ristar, Comix Zone, The Ooze, etc.), Sega, and all the other games on this collection don't interest me.  -_-

SOLD.

Hopefully, the final product will look something like this.

Oh, you're going to be grossly underwhelmed then.

See, when Sega says "HD", they don't mean they're going to touch up the sprites. No, they mean they're going to put a fugly-looking filter on the games and call it a day.

OH yeah, this is the one that has that ugly "clay looking" filter that has a lot of people throwing up with their eyes. It's sad though, for the amount of good games on this disc you'd think it'd have some fancy effect or two to not make them look like they came fresh out of an emulator.

but its in 720p!!!!!!!11111!!1one

Heh... I'm half-tempted, 'cause that's a hell of a lot of games for 30 bucks.

But then... that's a hell of a lot of games I'm not particularly interested in for thirty bucks, too.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

I really just think this is for people that didn't get it on the last generation consoles, otherwise known as making a quick buck.  Granted, you only had to pay $19.99 for the PS2/PSP Sega compilations versus the "new and improved" $29.99 compilations.  I'll stick with Virtual Console or go out and buy the Sega Classic Series on PS2.
