Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (First Impressons)

[beeboyz18]

i bought it for $20 yesterday 4 my ps3

[jbl8199]

It's $20 at Gamestop.

[Zedoscavalos]

yes we can beat that price, because we can have all of them for free for pc using rooms

[ilovemyfamilyg83]

I know it all has to do with copyrights & licensing but i wish the Genesis versions of ToeJam & Earl, Road Rash series, NBA Jam series, Street Fighter series, Mortal Kombat series, TMNT series, Eternal Champions, Primal Rage, and Aladdin would've made it. those are Genesis essentials that should rightfully be here but once again stupid copyrights & licensing have to ruin everything for us...

[ilovemyfamilyg83]

This is a great collection. finally having all 3 Streets of Rage titles on one disc is worth admission alone, since Sega dropped them from from the US version of Sonic Gems Collection released in 2005 due to wanting a strict family friendly E rating. 49 games for $30 (in my case $20) is a steal. all that aside there is absolutly no excuse for them not including the Lock-On for Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Knuckles in Sonic 2, and Blue Sphere. they did'nt even include a DLC patch for it. it's nonsense...

[PHILRYABKIN]

I love this collection alot.I just got it today.But I hate that Michael Jackson's Moonwalker,Sonic CD,Knuckles Chaotix and Gunstar Heroes are not on the compolation and you cant lock on Sonic 3 and Knuckles.But this compolation is well worth it just for many classics.I love Phantasy Star,Streets of Rage 2,Zaxxon,Alien Solider,Sonic 3 and Alex Kidd as well.Just buy this compolation.

[todabeast]

This doesn't have Sonic 3 Knuckles?

You know as the game together

[DVSskater23]

No and it kinda sucks cause I liked sonic 2 and knuckles

[todabeast]

*Sigh* man I thought it was gonna be in there. Well the could've made it downloadable

[hipnotyq]

well if thats what you want then just wait a couple of weeks until the sega collection #2 comes out on XBLa. If you buy Sonic and Knuckles and you already have Sonic 2 or 3 (also the XBLa releases) then you can play either of those with the lock on. Thats what I'm waiting for

[Fonzersbox]

well i have sonic mega collection plus and it does have s3 and knuckles

[AngelOfDeath1897]

debating between this and MGS4 Collectors Edition :P

[SpicyDonuts]

If you want a game experiance that will draw you in get mgs4

[PearlJammer07]

I bought this game a week after it came out. Good deal for the amount of games on one disc.

[AnotherSchmoe]

Dang I need to go get this! I got a Sega Genesis when I was 3 years old and played the poo out of it. Just wish this had online play and some more games, I would've loved to see Rampart for one. Oh well, still looks like a great collection!!

[boratslaya]

this is better on PS3 cuz it has way better d-pad

[DVSskater23]

absolutely. I almost bought it again for my PS3

[LaCokaNostra81]

no Dynamite Heady??

[TailsAndLuigi]

I have this game. It's so cool. My favorite game on it is Ristar. I think I'm close to beating it.

[j4k1nt0]

wtf man , street fighter - capcom , and if u aint noticed its a SEGA genesis with SEGA games , y wud capcom b there ......... altho a capcom collection wud b gud

[salm1100]

How many game is in there?

[DVSskater23]

49 and thats including unlockables

[Smee07]

The only thing missing from this collection is Earthworm Jim 1 and 2. That would've been awesome.

[DVSskater23]

thats exactly what I thought

[Evilmonkey66699]

Earthworm jim isn't owned by Sega, it was I belvie owned by interplay who I'm sure(if they did produce EWJ) would be more than happy to sell it to sega like they did for Bethesda with Fallout

[DVSskater23]

yeah it was a genesis game but I kinda figured it wouldn't be because its on the wii's marketplace

[01200projects]

and street fighter series...

[MMeteorMan]

ToeJam & Earl...

[cannoman5]

is robocop vs terminator on it??

[DVSskater23]

no sorry

[syaoran27]

i would have liked to see different games on here if you played the first one on ps2 and xbox youll see its basically the same im disappointed in this.

[lammy227]

Nice review. My girlfriend got me this for Valentines day, but my 360 RROD'd so I can only look at the box til my xbox comes back. NICE!

[chubs54]

i live in australia and ibought i american version i have y 360 chippedand it wont work can any1 help me out here?

[Nicky634]

I bought it yesterday and I love it so much! Lot of games who I didn't know in the past and I appreciate. The archivements and unlockables games and interview make me long time to play it. Very nice compilation!

[Caboose9987202]

mean bean machine WOW that brings me back!!! i was raised on all these games glad i bought the game yesterday but i havent played it yet

[ThisISHappanin]

i just got it today its great i love the smooth graphic thing on HD its looks awsome its very slick and well put together i reccomend it

[Foodperson]

In fact, the games do not look like they were made out of pixels but out of paint! That is just how awesome smoothing is.

[Chaotix010]

Phantasy star? My uncle used to play that. Maybe I could get it for his birthday.

[nwacompton181]

is the space harrier the master system or arcade version?

[RikimaruTheHulk]

"If you don't love it, you ... must be gay or something."

Hahaha :)

That's the best line I've ever heard in a review (although I'm aware this is not a review). Anyway, yeah I'd pay madly for a SNES compilation, but Nintendo definitely won't let that happen on the 360 and PS3...

[Dankun1]

is there a way to kick away the Custom borders off the screen?,it happens to be something like Megaman X for the saturn!

[Foodperson]

If you have your system hooked up to an HDTVv with component cables or HDMI, you can press SELECT during gameplay, choose Video, then press L1/RT to switch to 16:9 mode. You can also stretch the window by using the control stick on that menu.

[gaarax9]

What's next? "Mario's Ultimate SNES Collection" that would be cool.

[DVSskater23]

considering how many kickass games that were on snes, I wouldn't be surprised

[Noobster123720]

DvSskater23, i have a really important question

When you play a game can you save where your at because im going to get it next week so.. i need someon to tell me now!

[christamadeus]

yes you can save it anywhere you want

[Kirzan66]

Yeah but, Nintendo owns a lot of copyrights on a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of amazing SNES titles, I wouldn't say no to an RPG Collection though, SquareEnix owns most of the good stuff ;) And we could probably get a translated version of Bahamut Lagoon, who knows really?

[CanadianJay6]

Well, Nintendo already did something like this once with Super Mario Allstars, then they never really touched on making collections again. Since Sega is no longer a competitive company, it can now get away with releasing big collections like this.

[blueswan1984]

Actually Nintendo did make a few collections after All-Stars. The first one was "The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition" for the Game Cube which includes 2 NES Zelda games, 2 N64 Zelda games and a Wind Waker demo. A third collection Nintendo had recently released was the Game & Watch Collection for the Nintendo DS; however, you had to be a Club Nintendo member and had the required points to get the game. I also believe Nintendo released a Puzzle Collection title as well for the GameCube.

[TheWorstComputerEver]

no strider!

[DVSskater23]

or toe jam and earl :(

[crimson2001]

man the achievments are easy on this hope you have fun with the game

[Foodperson]

But beating the games is a totally different story!

[crimson2001]

true that man

[Foodperson]

I know, but all of these games were not made by third-party companies, only SEGA. I wished, though, that SEGA would have included "The Ooze."

[MMeteorMan]

It's odd, that game was on Sonic Mega Collection +, so I can't see why it isn't on here.

[MagusX1]

Good job on the first impressions, one thing though, there is nothing online, not even leader boards, though I wish there would of been leader boards...but no leader boards...

[DVSskater23]

yeah i just saw this high score thing and at the time I didn't know those scores were set by the cpu

[metaldude159]

it probably didnt come out on the wii because most of those games are virtual console games
