Dual Review: Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

Games Are Evil writes:

"This collection is a 16-bit love letter from SEGA to its fans.

We have to reiterate that this is a gaming buffet. You'll take little bites to experience the stuff you never played, and indulge on the old standbys, of which there are plenty. It is a perfectly produced, and still perfectly playable, reminder of our 16-bit heritage."

Awesome review! I like the dual review thing!

bgrundman5552d ago

This is a cool take on the review idea!

BRG90005552d ago

It's official! Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is as good or better than Killzone 2!

Reviews are so stupid. Can we get rid of numerical score systems altogether yet?

TheTwelve5552d ago

Yeah...I got this on the PSP like 2 years ago.

CrAppleton5552d ago

There are a TON of great games on there! I would have bought it for a handful of them.. but it's pretty ridiculous how many games you get for the price

killyourfm5552d ago

I don't even think we pointed this out, but the collection is only $30. So yes, SINCERELY worth it.

bgrundman5552d ago

I bought it and it was worth every penny!

CrAppleton5552d ago

Well sh!t.. I thought it was worth it when I thought the game was 60 bucks.. so then YES.. I will go buy this!

bgrundman5552d ago

You owe it to yourself to do it. You will not regret your purchase.

I picked it up on PS3 because I wanted to use a D-Pad that was worth a sh1t. How about you guys?

killyourfm5552d ago

Well, SEGA sent us the 360 version, so I wasn't going to complain. But I do mirror your thoughts about the PS3 pad..

bgrundman5552d ago

Any games that you feel were left out of this collection?

bgrundman5552d ago

That was so much fun to play. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it!

Substance5552d ago

1) Revenge of Shinobi
2) Space Harrier 2
3) Mystic Defender

Oh yeah...and on the Arcade Space Harrier, they don't give us the option to switch the controls into reverse like you are controlling an airplane. Only flaw i saw on the disc. Otherwise, I love it.

CadDad5552d ago (Edited 5552d ago )

Sword of Vermillion (on the PSP one)
Gunstar Heroes
Dynamite Heady
Toe Jam and Earll
Road Rash
Eternal Champions

I could probably go on, but I definitely enjoy the collection as is. My son is experiencing these games for the first time (he's 5) and they enthrall him as much as the new ones do.

*EDIT* Cool! Got it a few days ago, haven't got to that one yet!

Add Earthworm Jim also! Love that one.

PirateThom5552d ago (Edited 5552d ago )

Edit... nevermind, I thought Dyanmite Headdy was on it. Boo...

Edit 2: According to the Sega Europe site (which is where I checked), Dyanmite Headdy is on it, must just be the European Version.

Agent VX5552d ago

Easily, one of the best games I miss from my Genesis was "Master of Monsters"

Other titles like:
Tommy Lasorda Baseball
Might and Magic: Gates to Another World
Dune: The Battle for Arrakis
Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II
and NHLPA 94

I'm getting this at some point (sooner than later) just for the Sonic, Streets of Rage and Golden Axe collections. Really can't complain value wise.

EDIT: Two player...

bgrundman5552d ago

There are two player play in most of these games that I tried... what is the problem?

Cajun Chicken5552d ago

Nah, I didn't word that properly. Two player in those classics are a major selling point to me. I have the PSP MegaDrive Collection, but this has pretty much twice as many games, It'll be great to play these in a well presented package and legally on PS3 (I emulate a lot).

Fans Furious At Capcom Again

Eskimo Press: "At first glance Capcom's Arcade Cabinet looks like a must-buy for most old-school gamers -- Section Z, Ghost n' Goblins, Gun Smoke, the list goes on -- but this is not the case at all. It seems as though Capcom are just pissing off their core fans."

Capcom have been real cheapskates these past few years. They used to be one of my favorite developers/publishers. Back in the day I associated them with quality games that gave players a challenge. Now whenever they release a game I always think that I might as well not get that game until a few months, or a year later, because I know they're gonna release a "Super/ultra/deluxe" edition later, with extra content, and usually at a lower price

AsimLeonheart4093d ago

Man, I too miss the old days when CAPCOM made the classic Resident Evils, Breath of Fires and DMC. At the time I respected them and looked forward to their next game. Now I always look forward to their next blunder...

Welcome2Die4093d ago

Im glad you used the word "cheapskate" because if theres one thing that really infuriated me about Capcom was SFxT.
They used the exact same characters from Street Fighter 4 and put them in SFxT and called it a new game, theyc ompletely ignored the fans requests for the different characters from other games and just cut corners. Then they take more copy/paste characters and charge us 20 dollars for it while they are still in the disc...

Oh Capcom you so classy....

Roper3164093d ago

anyone who supports & buys Scamcom games deserves whatever BS Scamcom gives them. If you haven't figured it out by now that Scamcom is just plain ripping everyone off with there nickel & diming you never will so just live with being ripped off.

The only way anything will ever change is to not support them. When they lose enough money they will either fix the problem of go out of business. At this point either option works for me.

Kratoscar20084093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

LOl so much disagrees for you, it means that people like being scammed by Scammcom/Cahscom/Crapcom, those sheeps. Like Hano below.

Roper3164093d ago

just remember the old saying... "a fool & his money are easily parted."

pr0t0typeknuckles4093d ago

wow i guess there are a lot of people that like to be scamed by scamcom(excellent name btw), otherwise i really cant see why you have so many disagrees, i for one agree with you,stop buying crapcom games and you wont get screwed over and they may actually gain some common sense.

vork774093d ago

i buy them used so crapcom dont get anything from me

JeromeNtheHouse4093d ago

I can't stand Cashcom. I too used to think they were cool (which they were) in terms of the games they released back in the day. But now, they're jus rediculous... On-Disc DLC, cutting franchises short (Mega Man), oh yea...RE5 and RE6.

I jus don't even bother with them anymore.

hano4093d ago

Not this again. I appreciate the crusade against Capcom done by some angry geeks.

However, Capcom remained strong in this business because through out their history they produced awesome games and continue to do so.

Sure the disk locked DLC was a dick move, but if you don't like something don't buy it. Some people just whine about anything Capcom related.

EskimoPress4093d ago

You don't think $45USD is too much for 15 mediocre retro 16bit games? Each to their own, I guess.

lodossrage4093d ago

some of those aren't EVEN 16 bit.

hano4093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

I have seen people gobble up bad games like Aliens CM and buy COD map packs for insane amounts of money.

I'm saying that anything Capcom does, some people hold torches and forks and talk shit about the company. But it doesn't change the fact they make great games.

So for this deal, you have the option to wait and buy the full pack for 30$ or buy the games you want individually or don't buy the games at all if you think the asking price is too much. That's the best way to send them a message.

However, some people seem to have it in for Capcom sometimes even if the situation doesn't call for such behavior.

Donnieboi4093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

@Hano:
So what if Activision does it too? How does one wrong make another right? What the hell kinda void logic...? SMH

wiium644093d ago

thank god team ninja hasn't done that, all the dlc for the wii u version of ninja gaiden razor's edge, all dlc is free, and all the new 25 trial levels, and costumes, and all other extra content on the ps3 and 360 versions, the wii u is going to get all of that content too as a free download. if capcom ever brings tha game to wii u? i will pass, thank you, i love old arcade classics, but not that much. what happened to you capcom? you are all about the money now, how sad,oh well keep it up, and you'll end up like thq!!
