SEGA MEGA DRIVE ULTIMATE COLLECTION ANNOUNCED FOR THE XBOX 360 AND PLAYSTATION 3
SEGA's glorious past is gathered in one colossal collection
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (November 3, 2008) – SEGA® of Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc today announced the development of SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. This compilation will feature the best first-party games from SEGA’s respected 16-bit Mega Drive years, as well as bonus content from its 8-bit Master System and 1980’s arcade era games library.
“SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is a must-have for any SEGA enthusiast,” commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director for SEGA Europe. “Fans will get a chance to relive fond memories from these classic games in HD format.”
Developed by Backbone Entertainment, SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection contains over 40 celebrated SEGA classics in one package; making it the largest collection of SEGA first party games ever offered. Featured games include; Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2 and 3, Columns, Alien Storm, Ecco the Dolphin, Space Harrier, and cult classic, Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3.
The games in the collection have been reproduced with the utmost detail and accuracy to commend their originals. In addition, SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection can output the games in 720p with higher resolution graphics for HD televisions, bringing a new visual richness to these classic titles.
SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 is scheduled for worldwide release in early 2009. For all press assets, please visit www.sega-press.com (http://www.sega-press.com).
Original post at: http://kotaku.com/5078305/sega-reveals-splotchy-40-game-mega-drive-compilation
How do you feel about this new compilation? I've read that the people porting over the games aren't known for making great ports. Are you willing to buy the original Sonic the Hedgehog games all over again? I personally don't own a 360 or PS3 and still own most of the original games so it's not really too much of an issue for me.
The game list so far:
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Alien Storm
Altered Beast
Beyond Oasis
Bonanza Bros.
Columns
Comix Zone
Decap Attack starring Chuck D. Head
Dr. Robotnik's MBM
Dynamite Headdy
Ecco the Dolphin
Ecco II: The Tides of Time
E-SWAT
Fatal Labyrinth
Flicky
Gain Ground
Golden Axe I
Golden Axe II
Golden Axe III
Kid Chameleon
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom
Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
Ristar
Shining in the Darkness
Shining Force
Shining Force 2
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic and Knuckles
Sonic Spinball
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 3
Super Thunder Blade
Vectorman

Backbone might not be the greatest software developer out there. But what they have done in the past with converting games for both Sega and Midway have been great in my opinion. I am really looking forward to this one and kind of regret buying SORIII on the Wii.

Just another collection, like the PSP one or the Sonic ones.
Might give this a miss not really into all the RPG's on there and besides I have most of these games on the MD collection on my PSP or on VC. But its good to see SEGA raiding their past so that all these young kids of today can see what real games are like from the good old days.

That´s a huge and great collection of awesome and memorable games.
Strange enough, this game is going to be called Sonic´s Ultimate Genesis Collection in the US.
I don´t care too much since I don´t have any of those consoles, and I have some of those games to play in the original Genesis.
The only game I can´t believe that isn´t in the compilation, is Columns III. >_<

Hopefully the quality is kept together, because by today's standards replicating a Genesis game should be a piece of cake.
This could prove interesting.
Playing all the games I remember...
Hope there are some online multiplayer modes.

I know some others who want this, and I have to admit if they offered online, that would attract so many people who already probably own the game.
i have near enough all of these games on the md psp or wii but ill still buy it any news on extras ie unlockables game history artork etc?

12-11-2008, 17:27
I've heard it has some master system games as unlockables but not realy heard much else to be honest.
That would be a nice bonus weren't many classics on the MS though! Although master System kick off was much better than MD kick off.:)
richarddavies
12-11-2008, 17:37
:biggrin: Yeah. I have not played that in a long, long time. Was good though. Theres a few good games on the ms but we'll have to wait and see what they put on the collection.
I remember my mate at the time had the MS and I had the MD and we both bought Alien Storm on the same day. Damn, he was so gutted lol. He sold his MS two days later!

Same here, in other words nothing new really as emulators exist or most people have the game already.

True but some people don't like playing games on emulators because it's not the most comfortable with a keyboard or want to set up their MegaDrive just to play Sonic or whatever if you can just pop a single disc in your 360.

Or PS2 :P what's the retail price? For them to make that game it can hardly have been costly, if it retails for more than £20 it'd be a rip-off.

I’ve noticed you live in Japan (welcome to RadioSEGA BTW) but does this game have a Japanese release date? I don’t thing the last Mega Drive collection came out over there but I may be wrong.

Really looking forward to this.
I'll pick it up on PS3 so I can use my Saturn pad with the games.
There are unlockable arcade games on the collection, they are
Zaxxon
Tip Top
Fantasy Zone
Space Harrier
Alien Syndrome
Shinobi
Altered Beast
not really excited about Zaxxon and Tip Top and cant see why they put the arcade version of Altered Beast on there since the Mega Drive version is on the pack but the others Fantasy Zone, Space Harrier, Alien Syndrome and Shinobi I'm excited for but I would have love to have seen Afterburner or Out Run on there and maybe some of SEGA's other arcade games like Hang On or Galaxy Force 2. Still not a bad list.
alien syndrome as in the Wii/PSP alien syndrome? That's the sort of extra worth unlocking.

If the Original Arcade version of Shinobi is on this collection as an extra, I am Sold! :)

Its the arcade game form the 80's. and why would you want to play the Wii/PSP alien syndrome for I heard its shit.

Just put my pre order down around 3 hours ago, the chick at the store seems to think that these vinyls will be really limited. Glad I've got my pre order down! Can't wait! WOOT!
But..it's vinyl. How the hell you gonna play it?
Still, I wish I could have one :( Anybody wanna preorder me a copy? I'll pay for it :D

I pre-ordered the standard edition really cheap elsewhere :( f**k australia XD
Really cheap? Cheapest I've seen it was £25, though that was only a fiver cheaper than its RRP. Found it cheaper than that?

£25 :3 bargain price for that package, I paid £25 for the PSP version when it was first released
Oh dear. That was a bit of a bum deal, wasn't it? XD

Nah XD My Mega Drive has been broken for months and I was starving to play MD games, as well as to have an excuse to turn my PSP on.
Hopefully the 360 will have online play, that would be nice :) some decent titles in the line-up too, even if I do already own 70% of them ><

Hm, online... Has that been confirmed? I know Sonic 2 on XBLA had online races. Pretty sure all the other games are getting is that ugly smoothing they used on XBLA Sonic 2.
Well, I would check Wiki, but it doesn't say. Sega.com, however, says that the only multiplayer contained in the game is 2P on the same console.

That's a shame, Golden Axe & Streets of Rage would have been good with mates online, though I suppose that would make purchasing the arcade versions pointless...
That and the games are that much better on local co-op :P ah well, again, if I'd paid like £40 I'd be annoyed, but I won't moan, for a change
My girlfriend's going to buy me it. We're going to head into town after Street Fighter IV turns up and pick it up then, woop.

That's right! It was uncalled for!
Anyways, was reading up to try and find out how "limited" this vinyl is....and well for once it is actually "limited".
3,500 copies released world wide, and all of the vinyls are numbered. Sega Australia already had the first numbered copy on eBay for charity and it sold for AU $500!!!

What "effort"? They just compiled 40 games and gave it a fancy name. Instant commercial win, what did you expect? And it's easy to do. Honestly!

They've put them in HD, given you loads of different sound and video options as well as letting you customize menus and adding extras like interviews, cover art and facts.
Lol Sonic's ultimate genesis collection is a shameless plug at trying to get young sonic fans to buy the game :P
I hope there are new interviews on the pack because I've heard that the interviews on the pack are taken form the Mega Drive Collection that came out on the PS2 and PSP. I dont mind but I would like something new rathen then something taken from an old retro pack.
Well, I've got it, and it's pretty good actually. Most of the games on the set are games I used to play as a kid, which wins points from me.
The set loses points though for the lack of Lock-On for Sonic & Knuckles though. I know it's not really that big a deal when you look at the fact that there's 49 games on the disc, but still.

Having watched the interviews I'm sad to say they're just lifted straight from the psp version -_- although the history for each individual game is a good read :)

Yeah thats one of the reasons I wont be buying it. SEGA said some bullshit lie by saying that there was no space on the disk yet many programmers have called SEGA liers and one programmer has posted on there blog on how to put it on there.

I doubt it; Nintendo would rather have everyone use the virtual console, there's a lot more Mega Drive games on there than Live Marketplace or PSN, so Ninty would rather have the profits from that.
Wasn't Doomsday Zone in S&K anyway? I thought you could play it as Super Sonic.
As for the Wii collection, I highly doubt it, to be honest.

What would be the point since you can play both Sonic collections on the Wii and it has a pretty decent library of MegaDrive games on the VC.

You're missing the point. With Sonic 3 and Knuckles, you can play as super Tails, use debug mode, and plenty of other things that the two seperate games can't do alone.

Who cares?
Its one game out of a great collection of 40, its still a good game regardless. Give this collection to 200 gamers and maybe 1 of them would care about that -_- S3&K was a hack originally anyway, wasn't it? maybe? It wasn't an official release, right? If that's the case, why should Sega feel obliged to release it?

It was not a hack, they originaly planned it to be all one game, but they didn't have enough time (or whatever the reason) so they had to divide them, but they made the lock-on feature to let players play the full game.

I was under the assumption that they were gonna handle it the same was as the XBLA megadrive games.
All the games come with their original aspect ratios, you can then stretch the screen to fit your tv however you like :)
I've tried it on a 32" plasma and the games still look fantastic :P so I wouldn't worry about it

They look better bordered on mine, I've found. I don't really want to smooth the graphics out as they look a bit pants when I do, but then they look too pixelly when I stretch the screen.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

The sound quality of Vynil is awful, purists that say they're better than CD's are wrong in the head -_- or deaf....probably deaf...
Cassette tapes took over because they're portable. MP3's are all the rage now but that doesn't mean they have better quality than a CD :3
And I want one too Gavvi T__T but they're reaching 200 dollars, easy so far.
Hmm, well you never know, you might get lucky if you find a buyer who has no idea just how valuable it is. There are a few of those people around.

Dur, I got a free frisbie, first person to catch it keeps it XD
Yeah, something like that. I might have something lined up, so I'll keep you posted.

Sweet.
I'd go hunt one but to be honest, I have enough rarities and pointless collectable crap, a lot of which I should really get rid of v_v so I'll let this smexy vynil go
I got one! :D
I lost one yesterday at £16, which would have been a bargain to be honest, because I forgot to put a bid in, but I've got one today at just under £30. Bit more than I was willing to pay, but hey, if the price is only going to go upwards, then I see that as a good deal myself.

Do you guys actually have record players to use it on?
I've got one, but I'm highly unlikely to actually listen to it.
To be honest, I've only bought it because there's only been 3500 produced, so it's a good chance to own something rare. I also expected the price to be a lot higher than it was.

I'm getting desperate -_- I've lost 3 auctions today by the last millisecond, its driving me nuts.
Oh, here's hoping I didn't beat you to one...That said, given how few and far between th vinyl seems to be on eBay, I wouldn't be surprised.
Can you remember the names of the sellers?

I lost two today (after you posted) and one yesterday :P First time I put a bid in of £25 and lost, the next time there was one with zero bids at £20, I put £25 and lost. The third I can't remember, I think I put in £30 and still lost D:
Ah, that's alright then. At least I didn't win one at your expense.
Would've been a bit of a kick in the teeth, wouldn't you think?

Heh :P not at all, at least I'd know who to rob in future
Well, you'd have to find me first.

I rented the game, but all I see in it is just playing the game on an HD-TV.
