Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection-40 Games

[Kyo]

Like the title says sega releasing a huge pack of 40 genesis in one pack for 29.99.

Link gives complete list, has a huge amount of clasics.

New 'Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection' from Sega, 40 titles included - Xbox 360 Fanboy

[Kohan]

Holy shit.

Another opportunity to repurchase games I've already bought several times.

[izembo]

shining force 1+2 and shining in the darkness, count me in

[Rokku]

$30 for all the old genesis games I loved with 720p support? Count me in.

[Brill Weave]

Shining Force 1 & 2 are on it! Fuck yeah!

[Isiolia]

It would figure that I bought the Sonic Mega Collection+ when I was in Wal Mart yesterday, and this includes the Genesis stuff from that. It's a nice collection, but it doesn't run in HD...

[Kiarax]

It's a nice collection, but it doesn't run in HD...

Wha? Says in the link that it does.

All the games in the collection have been "converted" to high definition and will be output in 720p.

[Isiolia]

I'm talking about the Sonic Mega Collection+ for PS2 (which I bought yesterday), not the 360 collection.

[Rokku]

It's 360 and PS3. The link is misleading because it's on an Xbox site.

Why exactly are people so concerned about being able to play old games in HD? It makes them look worse.

[Karbuncle]

Fuck Yeah, Vectorman!

Also Im probably buying this o - o, about the Shining Force games, i heard they were good, which should i play first, Shining in the Darkness or Shining Force 1

[Rokku]

I think the assumption is that they went back and fixed the graphics to run properly in 720p. If they just made the game capable of running in 720p by upscaling and leaving the core graphics unchanged, then yeah, it's gonna look like pixelated shit.

Fuck Yeah, Vectorman!

Shining in the darkness is just a shitty dungeon crawler, don't play it at all.

It shows that the emulator they're using is actually making some effort to fill the screen n' such.
The PS2 version that I have just sort of starts the game in a box in the middle of the screen. I mean, it's not terrible, but it's noticeable (this is on my 27" tube TV, which I have consoles other than my 360 and PS3 hooked up to). Especially since the geometry isn't perfect on it...I've been spoiled by my LCD TV...

If you have an HDTV, filtering can also make things look acceptable. Not as much of a problem with 2D games, but 3D PSX and PS2 games tend to look like they were pulled out of a cat's ass on an HDTV, without filtering and all that.

All right lol, They need to release a SNES pack like this ~.~, The 7TH Saga, Illusions of Gaia and some other games would make a great MEGAPACK

I'd love to see some SNES compilations, but Nintendo would rather we buy them all via Virtual Console (not that Genesis games aren't available on that too).

Personally, I'm more inclined to buy classic games like that stamped onto shiny plastic discs though. Not keen on paying as much as they charge for a download, and I like having the physical media for collection purposes.

[Octavious]

hell yea, I can put away my genesis now. I put my SNES/NES away when I got a Wii. This is awesome :3 more space for Dreamcast Games (*'-')/ gogo Jet Grind Radio~

[Beckwin]

wow this is sweet. I have a Genesis lying around but I think it's busted, and 40 games for 30 bucks is a steal (considering individual 16-bit era games go for like, 5 bucks a piece as a download).

[Brill Weave]

Agreed on Shining in the Darkness. It's a fucking terrible dungeon crawler. Shining Force 1 and 2 are kind of like FF Tactics, Vandal Hearts, Ogre Battle etc. Both are absolutely fantastic. Who else killed Dark Dragon with their main character? Instead of the normal default attack motion he salutes the dragon with his green lightsaber then pummels him. Awesome.

[Norellicus]

The "HD" is shit.
