So by the looks of it, Sega are planning to release some of their best classic games on the X-Box. :-)

We know whats on the way so that helps narrow down the new additions that could make it to our console. ;-)
Apparently even games as far back as the Master System could be redone for the X-Box. Heres me hoping for...

Streets Of Rage
GoldenAxe
Shinobi
Altered Beast
Sonic The Hedgehog
Nights

I think all these could be great titles to add to the X-Box list. I'd like to see what Sega can do with the likes of an Altered Beast game now which is why I added it. :-)

All I can say is I hope so.... :-)

Shinobi is being developed at the moment exclusively for the PS2, but we may end up getting an XBOX version - maybe(?)

Hopefully there'll be more SEGA classics to follow in the footsteps of Toejam & Earl and Panzer Dragoon Orta - especially NiGHTS and a truly next-gen version of Crazy Taxi....

I'd also like to see a Sonic game made up entirely of wild super-fast speed levels, utilizing the full power of the XBOX.

You're making a comment to a reply which hasn't been written you silly mong. I know Shinobi is already on its way to PS2. But with Sega planning these classics for X-Box, that title could well be one of them as Shinobi is very much a Sega classic.

If Shinobi does stay as PS2 only, then its not all bad as Tecmo are bringing Ninja Gaiden out next year which looks amazing. But overall it would still be great to see Shinobi on X-Box.

Hmmm...

Depends on which Sega devellopment teams are Xbox bound.
Sonic Team, for example, (behind Sonic and NiGHTs) seem to have shown the most support for Nintendo so far, although they do seem to be starting to show in interest in the Xbox.

I personally think that the original Altered Beast was crap, but there's no reason why a remake, perhaps with a little more playability this time, couldn't be great.

Streets of Rage would be a HUGE hit.
Just putting an emulated version on the school PC's caused a giant wave of nostalgia.


If they're going so far back, I wonder if they'll pick up Alex Kidd...
