Seag ages is so great and I hope one day they can graduate to doing saturn or dreamcast games. If anyone could figure it out it'd be m2.

I wish they'd re-release all the Treasure on the PS4 and Switch, Guardian Heroes and RSG are locked to XBLA and Gunstar, etc to the Wii, PS2 and 3DS. Japanese Silhouette Mirage would be nice too, as far as I know it's still Saturn only. I hope there's not some bullshit rights issue.

Don't forget there's a few shmups on xbox, like raystorm HD and radiant silver gun hd. They (game publishers) really should put out more classics

Treasure's rights are all over the place - Sega owns all their Mega Drive games, most of their GBA games and others like Guardian Heroes, various other publishers own individual games and then Treasure owns the rights to a few (Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun, Silhouette Mirage and Bangai-O) but they don't always own the rights to specific ports/versions so they still can't put them out again - Microsoft paid for Silvergun HD, for example, so that specific version's tied up with them. The other problem is Treasure isn't really a functioning developer anymore and it's all they can manage to port Ikaruga once every few years.

I thought it's also kind of nicalis that's helping push that out as well. But yeah there is a lot of old video games that deserve to be at least released in some form on modern consoles.

RSG HD is missing features the Saturn port had like the hitbox viewer/ship speed that you'd open up over time so I would be fine with a brand new port of that anyway.

I love this releases and I hope covid hasn't hosed up M2's plans too much. I'd really love Ristar, that amazing original arcade conversion they did for Fantasy Zone 2, and whatever for Saturn/Dreamcast. I did have a lot of these games on 3DS but it's just so much more comfortable to play them on Switch.

Herzog Zwei is the last game they're doing for Sega Ages at this stage - after that, it's up in the air as to whether they'll end up doing a second run of games or which hardware they'll target.

The Xbox 360 port is a little rough graphically too so a new port would be great too. But yeah I'm really interested to see what M2 is doing next.

Anyone have any Outrun tips? I’m trying to complete run on the default difficulty and I can only barely make it to the 4th branch.

Part of keeping your speed up in OutRun is, paradoxically, learning to modulate the brake and when you need to down shift. Crashing is the worst thing you can do, so slowing down to avoid crashing or even going off the road will do a lot more for your time than not. Going off the road makes speeding back up really hard to do.

Disappointing they are closing this batch up so soon, because these have all been great and arguably the best "Ages" collection yet. I'm frustrated they only barely dipped their toe outside of SMS/Genesis porting this time around. Virtua Racing makes up for it a bit but there are countless other Model 1/2/3/Saturn games dying to get this treatment.

Sega fans: Sega please we already have so many copies of Sonic and other System 16/SMS titles. Please branch out a bit. A crumb. Sega: Did I hear Sonic and Columns?! Wait why isn't anyone buying these, kill the initiative Some of the stuff on the Astro City mini would have been nice.

Sorry for the double post but Herzog Zwei is out! Any impressions? I've never played it but it looks fun and the fact that it's apparently the father of RTS games interests me. SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Sep 25, 2020 |

It looks really fun so I’ll probably pick it up soon. Grabbed Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone and Lightning Force from this latest sale. A ton of the Ages games are currently on sale on Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/games/sales-and-deals/

And they also updated the Sega Ages web site. It will probably be featured in the news section of the eShop when Nintendo feels like updating it. Were you expecting more?

How did you like the Zwei? That's the first game I ever learned to exploit the AI to beat, which I always remember (for ruining my enjoyment of the game) It's amazingly good two player on the OG hardware but I dunno how a port would feel

It's a really good port so I'm sure multiplayer would be good on it as well. I'll give it a go next time my gf is here.

In a lot of ways it's weird how much the game is... Realistic. Logistics is everything, specialized equipment is for specialized fights and your troops get lost in swamps. Like, a lot. Also only sometimes are there boats.
