SEGA AGES Online / Sega Vintage Collection 2012
Figured we could use a thread for these!
SEGA and M2 are doing more SEGA AGES releases, this time on XBLA and PSN. The first two packs were released on XBLA yesterday: Alex Kidd & Co and Monster World Collection. The former contains, weirdly, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Super Hang On (Arcade), and Revenge Of Shinobi. The latter contains Wonder Boy In Monster Land (Arcade), Wonder Boy In Monster World, and Monster World IV (newly localized). Also strangely, these games are being released individually on PSN (at $5 each) instead of in packs.
Next week, XBLA is getting Golden Axe (Arcade original and Genesis sequels) and Streets of Rage collections.
Why these are cool:
- The emulation is as good as you could expect from M2, with accurate audio and a total lack of tearing, stuttering, and lag
- Each game includes each released regional variant, which can be a huge deal
- There are fairly comprehensive display options
- Each game has newly-added challenges with associated leaderboards, some of which are excellent
- This includes the newly-translated Monster World IV
- They added real deal and red-blue 3D to Super Hang On, holy shit
