Sega Forever! (Retro Bliss)

[RyouBakura]

So Sega announced an hour ago of re-releases of classic games on mobile (.oth iOS and Andriod). This will take place on June 22, so in the next 24 hours. (Might not be for all regions)

From Sega's site, the current games to get the the release are:

• Sonic
• Altered Beast
• Phantasy Star II
• Kid Chameleon
• Comix Zone

Now if that's not enough to wet your pants, then get ready for more. According to SegaBits, there will be more releases coming soon, AND they will include, in addition to Mega Drive, games from the SG-1000, Master System, Game Gear,

, and Dreamcast.

 

I am genuinely excited.  But I really hope they will implement the true meaning of the word "free".  (not against micro-transactions, but I don't want them all over the place)

Oh.... nice!

i remember having to grind for hours on PSII...

Wondering if they are going to have Nei use her original claws or if they are sticking with the USA bars version

[RyouBakura]

Probably with USA, since this thing will be in every region EXCEPT Japan. (and North Korea)

"not enough to wet your pants" lol.

Not impressed, emulators are still the best, and besides, it takes to much space where originally it doesnt...and also, performance issues on high end device (android)

[PCVITA]

but i like that they try

@PCVITA, you do have a point. However, I find this more beneficial for the following reasons:

1. Minor: This is legal. So much less bullshit.

2. Major: The best of emulators have there flaws. And Android's emulators are a lot shittier than Microsoft's (This is gonna raise some flags). I've stopped emulation on Android over its instability. The times I've lost a save, my phone broke, encountered a bug are very discouraging. At least now our saves occur online. And with it being a single game, that means errors are easier to patch.

IDK what are you saying about emulators for genesis being bad, because weather being on android, psp, pc, vita, wii (whatever) i never ever saw a bag genesis emulator, and they are all more less perfect. BUT you do have a point on that last one "errors are easier to patch", and i hope they will reduce game size, FIX those bugs. Good thing its free!
