aw, Gunstar shoulda been on the Sonic Collection disc. ah well, still a worthy purchase.

that said, im so debating Phantasy Star 2 for all the wrong reasons. it was my first real RPG, and if there's good achievements, im damn tempted to get it & grudge through that one just to see who else can...there's a certain level of difficulty old school RPGs could have where mere persistence might not be enough to finish them, and this is very much one of those.

The Wii has had Gunstar Heroes for over a year. And you can get all these games and more by buying the Sonic Genesis collection for either platform. Lame. It takes alot to notice the pain of being forcefully raped in the gaming world by companies, but in this instance Sega is going to town on our collective asses after a major coke and meth binge.

@Thejamielynch: ToeJam & Earl 3 is playable via backwards compatibility if that's any consolation. It's pretty well done though I don't like the hub world, the present implementation, or the antagonist.

Fucking Sega. Not so much for this specifically (though this and Virtual On are pretty compelling evidence), but for the fact that all signs pretty much point to them making their Dreamcast catalog available exclusively on XBLA.

At least Capcom and Namco have realized there are ways to make it in the West apart from crawling up Microsoft's ass. (Sticking to what they've always done instead of pursuing some myth of the "Western Gamer" is a good one.)

@Nightshift Nurse: I don't get this mentality.

"Wah! I love XYZ! I want to play XYZ!"

"XYZ is available for Console 2000."

"Wah! I don't wanna Console 2000! Never never never!"

See also, JRPGs and PS3 owners.

@Kobun: And I don't get this mentality:

"Blerg! Buy everything! Disregard quality and personal preference and buy everything! Blaagh!"

Honestly, wishing for games to appear on the console you already own (or have elected to purchase) is a perfectly valid desire. Buying every console on the market to snag a few exclusives? That's like killing a fly with a bazooka.

p.s. Most 360 RPGs suck...I think 360 fans are overcompensating. Any serious RPG fan is playing on handhelds these days.

@Nightshift Nurse: Yet if games are the measure of a console's worth, why bother buying a console which doesn't have the software you want?

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with wishing for games to appear on your currently owned console, but being stubborn to the point of absolute refusal to acquire the device which delivers the content you want seems fairly backwards to me.

@AlucardsQuest: They're like the Konami of DLC :|

It seems really strange that they'd launch just on the 360 platform. It really seems like they're leaving money on the table unless this is part of Sony's vision of only wanting "interesting" games on PSN. If so then I guess that anything retro is uninteresting perhaps? Don't know...

Those are crappy sega collection that I would have passed anyway. And here's soemthing too....I'm beginning to HATE sega. They never put out any good games for the ps3 and the ONLY game I ejoy from SEGA is VF series on the PS3. As of this writing...I no longer cared what Sega has to say or put out, the only team worthy is AM2...and hell if we know they even exist anymore at Sega.

@Thai Tea: But shouldn't you thank Sega for not putting shit out for the PS3. It seems like they only put quality on the PS3 as you attest to their release of VF. They're looking out for you man and that's not something to hate them for man <3

I'm sorry, but something doesn't follow here. It's mentioned that the PS3 version is only Gunstar Heroes, a brilliant game for sure. However while Comix Zone is also listed amongst the titles to accompany the X360 release, you claim that it doesn't seem like PS3 owners will be missing anything meaningful. You silly man.

I think you owe CZ a great, big apology, Mike :) And Sega owes PS3 owners one as well.

@Intellectualdiot: Dude! Come on! PSN should nurture high-quality releases like PixelJunk, Flower, Lingering Shadows, Tranny, etc... These games would only clutter up and reduce the visibility of quality games. PS3 owners should thank Sega for not releasing this vomit on PSN. Remember they only release Yakuza for the PS3... they remember PSN and PS3 when it's time for quality!

I'll definately be picking up Gunstar Heroes, seeing as how it's not on the Genesis Collection.

Also, everyone who's raving for online play.. do keep in mind, Backbone's network code for these Genesis roms is TERRIBLE, and at least in Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage 2, it was nearly unplayable due to lag. and I have a reasonably good connection.

@PSOCecil: Gunstar Heroes is hands down my favorite game of all time, but I won't be purchasing things just because of how terrible a developer Backbone is. I actually debated on picking up Space Invaders due to Backbone's interference but decided that Taito and Minter were worth it (plus it's an excellent game). I'll stick the the Treasure Box.

Sega really needs to make a Phantasy Star V. People have no idea that for awhile there, Phantasy Star was the best JRPG series on the market. There are still things about PS that RPGs havent even come close to matching yet.

God, if I win the lottery, I'm going to buy SEGA. Re-release the dreamcast for $59.99, get my dev teams to make

Phantasy Star V

Streets of Rage 4

ShenMue 3

....yeah.

Gunstar Heroes is awesome. Glad to hear it's coming and the rumor was true.

I couldn't really care less about all of the others, though, since my roommate has Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. I can just play them all on that if I REALLY feel the need to.

Wasn't Gunstar Heroes done by Treasure? Does SEGA own the publishing rights or something?

Also... any reason for the PS3 lockout?

@Sir_Pennyworth: Didn't Sony say they didn't want to many retro rehash on PSN? They focus more on art-deco style games perhaps? I honestly though when they killed BC that they would offer a ton of games from PS1 and PS2 on PSN but they haven't went for that either. Maybe they really mean to stick to the less is more approach.
