Genesis Collection Coming to PS2 and PSP in November

[Rem]

What makes less sense is a lot of these games were arcade games yet they use the worse genesis versions anyway.

I suppose they port the Genesis versions because more people had played those in their homes.... So nostalgia is more fitting in that sense. But I would rather have the arcade revs too. Oh wait, I do on Mame

I don't understand how Flicky keeps making it onto compilations. I love the game but it was the opposite of popular.

I own everything I want off that list already but seeing some awesome games get re-released is cool. I'm glad they picked Shinobi III over Revenge for once.

I'm surprised we're seeing some Sega/Gremlin vector arcade games on the PS2 compilation too. I guess Star Trek didn't make it because of the license.

I've been playing these on my PSP for over a year now, but depending on how good the emulation is I'll pick it up, just because.

It'll be nice to have PS 2-4 working properly, not the crappy GBA collection. Nice collection of games if the price is right.

If everything is emulated well, this will be a great buy just for the Eccos and PS II-IV, there's WAY too much overlap with the Sonic collections though. That isn't too big a deal on the PSP version, where those collections aren't out, but it cuts into the value of the PS2 one. It's still a great way to play a ton of Genny classics on one disc, but they need to put the SoRs on these collections at some point. Bacon, you left Alex Kidd: The Enchanted Castle and Vectorman 2 off your list.

Wireless multiplayer for some of the games on the PSP collection could turn out really cool if done properly. I just hope they choose games where it can be used well, instead of just throwing it into random games just for the hell of it.

[Nash]

They shouldn't have included Sword of Vermillion. It wasn't that great back in the day and it's pretty damn lame today. Everything else on that list is at least still playable.

[Timber]

At $20 I'll pick up the PS2 version right away. Anything over that and I'll wait it out. I have been on an old school RPG kick as of late and I'd like to give PSIV another shot after all these years to see if it still holds up.

There's really only one "wtf were they thinking" game on that list (VF2). Plus I would have loved to have seen ESWAT in it's place.
