Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

[King_Ubu]

Or if you live outside of the US, it's called MegaDrive Ultimate Collection.

I know it sounds like another boring collection, but it maybe kinda cool, 40 games from the Megadrive/Genesis and Master System, all updated to run at 720p.

And yes, trophy support has been confirmed for the launch.

What will the requirements be? If Segas past collections titles (Sonic Megacollection + & Sonic Gems Collection) then it'll be stuff like "Play Sonic 1 50 times").

Source with more detail. (http://www.sega.com/games/?g=577)

No trophy list has yet been given. The release is Winter 2009, however due to how sega gives it's release date and that Gamespot have it on their private stocklists, it maybe Winter as in, January - March 2009.

"Featuring over 40 classic 16-bit titles - including Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2 and 3, Columns, Alien Storm, Ecco the Dolphin, Space Harrier and Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3 - SEGA is promising its back catalogue will be translated to current-gen platforms with "the utmost detail and accuracy". It's also delivering 720p support for added visual pizazz.

Alongside those Mega Drive titles, the Ultimate Collection will also feature bonus content from SEGA's 8-bit Master System library, plus older arcade titles."

From the titles announced so far, this is already sounding like a worthwhile purchase (at the right price). Wouldn't pay more than £30 for it.

Cool.

Most of them have been on PS2 compilations, but it's quite a definitive collection and the fact that it'll run at 720p is sweet. If they're good translations it'll be worth it.

I want Knuckle Chaotix :(

That was a 32X game though, not Mega Drive.

Still want it though! Played every other game on the list at least twice!

[amplifiedAnt]

Even so, they're not going to put a 32X game in a Mega Drive compilation! You're not missing an awful lot with Chaotix tbh.
