Who else would like to see sega ages games to be available on xbox and ps4?
Personally I feel slightly annoyed with Sega for keeping it to the Switch.
Sure we had yet another megadrive collection, but we miss out on so many other great games. It just seems bizarre to me that xbox and ps4 weren't even considered.
Whats your opinion, are you annoyed by Sega Ages not being on Xbox/PS4?
Or would you want something else entirely?

I imagine SEGA AGES is kept exclusive to NINTENDO SWITCH because the system has a large library of retro games, so it feels more at home on the platform. Retro games aren't as common on PlayStation4 and XBOX ONE.
It's a shame, but I'm not very bothered by it.

Actually, Xbox has quite a large library of retro games! The problem seems to stem from Microsoft not making enough of an effort to advertise them unless it’s something big, like Megaman’s collections. Heck; even SEGA’s own Vintage Collection line of game compilations don’t get enough recognition—despite them being the best way to play those games on Xbox 360, One, and (*potentially) Series S/X due to M2 being involved.
(*I don’t own a Series S/X, so I personally can’t say for sure. Maybe TheGreenViper8 can verify this?)
Aside from The Two Blues (SEGA and Megaman), Capcom themselves have a Beat em up bundle and an arcade collection. But since this isn’t the proper thread to discuss the general misunderstanding of a lack of retro games on Xbox, I’ll take that to the general gaming section. See ya there!

The Xbox Series X/S is also backwards compatible with all games that have already run on the Xbox ONE.
I don't regret being an Xbox game. Many SEGA pearls are available on the Xbox. Microsoft had officially confirmed that they continue to work on backward compatibility. Maybe one day I'll be able to play Toejam & Earl 3 on my Xbox Series X.
Also have all the Sonic parts that are available on Xbox. Sonic The Hedgehog 1-3 is compatible with Sonic & Knuckles (MEGA DRIVE Games released on Xbox 360 Arcade). you can also play on the Xbox ONE and Series X/S, if they are currently available for purchase. Bought them from the beginning.

Sega Ages for Xbox and Playstation was announced at this year's Tokyo Game Show, and so far no news has been released about the release date other than it being released sometime next year. A few games (Sonic the Hedgehog, Columns, and Fantasy Zone) were confirmed for the initial wave of releases, with more to be announced at a later date. The Sega Ages games will most likely be developed by M2, a company based out of Japan that is well known for their arcade compilations. They are responsible for the Sega AGES 2500 Series Volumes 1-3 and have previously worked with Sega. On September 14, Nintendo announced that they would be partnering with Sega to release a collection of 16 arcade games in February 2016 on the Nintendo eShop. It is uncertain at this time if Sega or Nintendo will release these games outside of Japan. It is hoped by many fans that Sega will bring these games to North America, but that remains to be seen.

Is Sega Ages coming to Xbox and Playstation? The series includes arcade games as well as home console titles, and was originally launched on the Sega Saturn. Later, the series evolved into Sega Ages 2500, which was re-released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Then, in early 2012, the series was expanded with an online service and 19 new titles were released exclusively for the console. One of these new games is Herzog Zwei, a real-time strategy game for the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive.
The price of SEGA Ages for Xbox and Playstation? has been kept low. Each title is just $7.99. This price is the same as what every other company charges for a similarly inferior release. That's actually a pretty good deal, considering the fact that not all games are worth $7.99. SEGA also knows that some titles are more valuable than others, which is why titles like Alex Kidd in Miracle World get deeper discounts than games like Virtua Racing and Out Run.
While the gameplay is more or less identical to the original game, there are some notable differences. The PlayStation version offers a more realistic representation of Sonic's arcade roots, with many of the same gameplay mechanics as the Xbox version. Aside from the console version, there are three other versions of the game available, including an arcade mode for the Xbox and Playstation. However, the PlayStation version has more options.
