The SR news article explains all.
To save you looking, Sega plan to release a bunch of 'classics', at least some given a thorough graphical polishing, on new consoles.

Ooh, good news. So long as they get the right games.
So what do you want to see?

They plan to do Super Monaco GP, which sounds like a lame idea. It was *good* at the time (especially the second season...), and current F1 offerings aren't great, but since it is just an F1 game, there doesn't seem to be much need to use the license again.
Especially since it was only ever 'good'.

Streets of Rage hasn't been mentioned, to the best of my knowledge, but must be an obvious choice, I'd have thought. Or hoped.
Blaze Fielding.. *drools*

Streets of Rage was made by Sega...? Hmmm, I wasn't aware of that.

I never did manage to get a hold of the third one where you apparently got to play as a boxing kangaroo... Damnit...
*decides to search for it later in a 'second-hand online MegaDrive games store'*

The games might benefit from analogue control. I just unlocked Wolfenstein 3d in RTCW. That old game is really improved by the analogue control.

Who WOULDN'T want Streets of Rage to come-back?!
(...Besides SEGA, obviously!)

But what happened to that GBA 'Smash Pack'-thing?
You know, the one that came with Golden Axe, Sonic Spinball, and something else.... I think it may have got released in America, but not here...


But with many people owning Shenmue on the Dreamcast, and Sonic Adventure DX on-the-way, would it really be that neccesary, with many of the classics already available there?



....Hang on... What am I saying?!?
Of course it would!!
There's loads of MegaDrive games-alone that'd be worth a second-chance!

Ps2 exclusive, are they not?

I really hope that a Streets of Rage game comes out on GC - I'd love that soooo much.

Zero Tolerance on the MegaDrive. But with LAN/System link/Xbox live added fun.

I want:
Sonic 2
Afterburner
Alexx the Kid
Super Hang On
Mickeys Castle Of Illusion or whatever it was called
R Type.

I can not remember now who made what, just remember them as some of my favourite Master Systme games. I still have them kicking about some where. Have to go look it out.

Heh, thats the only videogame my dad has ever felt like playing. Except for the pinball game included with XP.

Wasn't Space Harrier that rails-shooter with the doughnut things...?

Hmm...

I'd buy a Space Harrier game....then again, Panzer Dragoon is basically a 3D Space Harrier.

I'd buy a new Streets of Rage game definately, doubtful about anything else though.

Possibly a Super Hang-On game, probably the only realistic type racer I've enjoyed.
