lol what a fucking disappointment. why even hint at Shenmue ports for PS4 if it was going to be this

 

[7threst]

Jezus what did people expect, a Skies of Arcadia HD remake or something? This is a great collection man! Why do people set themselves up for disappointment? Jeez...

 

[Htown]

I personally like this collection, but they didn't need to let this gain hype.

they put out like

one post

yesterday

they even put "classics" in the post

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Yasss, and that Sugimori art! Definitely grabbing this.

 

[-Horizon-]

Some of the posts in this thread jeez.

This looks like a good collection especially after hearing about how well the other 3D classics have been made.

 

[Espiox]

What's different in this version compared to the Japanese 3D Classic Archive 2?

English menus, probably English on the loading screen tips, that's it. Puyo Puyo is still Japanese in-game even. In fact, the Japanese version also includes Master System Fantasy Zone 1 if you played the first collection, so there's less in this version.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

VGP.COM ain't VideoGamesPlus.ca, SEGA!

 

[Hyperfludd]

Buying just to show Sega that I care about Puyo.

...yeah I know.

And that generated 16 pages of speculation on this place alone.

 

[wondermega]

Will probably buy for Power Drift at some point.

Ditto- I am pretty happy to see Maze Hunter is on there, too! I hope this sells decently enough to encourage Sega and M2 to keep powering through with these conversions.

OT, isn't the Mega Man 3DS collection due to be released soon as well?

 

[Lettuce]

Surpirsed that Puyo Puyo 2 will be making it to the US, seeings as Sega dont own the license anymore

 

[Neff]

They're perfect ports with added save states, and there are way more of them. I don't see how these ports could be much better. And can you really have the "best-looking version" of anything on a 3DS screen?

M2's ports are light years ahead of Digital Eclipse/Backbone's ports, not only in terms of options and features but also the accuracy of the ports themselves.

If Sega is sitting on HD versions of Shenmue, they'd be stupid to release them now as opposed to releasing them closer to Shenmue III's release.

 

[Htown]

And that generated 16 pages of speculation on this place alone.

it's not Sega's fault y'all went bananas

 

[RK128]

Haha XD! ......... :l.

To be serious, its nice that we are getting this, as a few of those games never came to NA and EU 3DS E-Shop. Still, we wanted something like a Classic collection on consoles or a new game from an iconic Sega franchise.

But still, this is a nice gesture and if this does well, the second retail collection will come over and that would be cool.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

The 3D effect on Shinobi III was one of the most amazing things I've seen all last year. This is a must buy.

 

[Tizoc]

it's not Sega's fault y'all went bananas

Ayup.
Regardless this is a great outcome X3

Oh I know. It's just the sigh knowing that I've already bought most of these digitally, but I can't let Power Drift and Puyo Puyo 2 slip by. This collection has been out in Japan for a little while, with no eshop release of the aforementioned two in sight, so they might remain retail exclusive.

I bought all those games day 1 and I will gladly buy this compilation day 1 too.
Hell if the other games release digitally too I'm double dipping
Dat sumagori boxart <3

 

[Joqu]

This is pretty much what I wanted it to be, I just wish they had went with the bundle.

You think we'll get the first wave's retail release if this one does well?

 

[minor effort]

M2's ports are light years ahead of Digital Eclipse/Backbone's ports, not only in terms of options and features but also the accuracy of the ports themselves.

Seriously. In many cases they've gone back and revamped these games while simultaneously respecting the source material. Galaxy Force II is beautiful on it, but it isn't some ugly upscaled, "HD remastered" disaster.

 

[schaft0620]

This is a huge announcement for the Puyo Puyo and Power Drift Nintendo 3DS owning fan base.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Comparing M2's masterful port work to Backbone's half assed garbage?

There's "simply mistaken" and "profoundly ignorant". This falls in the latter catagory.

 

[cireza]

LOL @ all the guys raging about this announcement...

For true fans, this is something great.

 

[flattie]

Is it a wonder that publishers don't bother giving their back catalogue the care and attention many of the titles deserve when even on places like GAF, you get a multitude of ignorant comments and reactions.

These 3DS games are quite stunning examples of how to treat your legacy (not an area that Sega are always well known for). Google some interviews with M2 to get a bit of insight.

Shame on the commenters who fail to recognise that and choose instead to allow themselves to be hyped by a PR tweet.

This is a good announcement. Well done, Sega.

 

[Producer]

They're perfect ports with added save states, and there are way more of them. I don't see how these ports could be much better. And can you really have the "best-looking version" of anything on a 3DS screen?

If Backbone/Digital Eclipse ports are perfect ports then M2's are divine ports created by God himself.

Oh, I was very close to buying the compilation for my JP 3DS as it is. This just makes the decision easier.

 

[Darrenf]

Will buy if released in Europe. Always wanted to try some of these games.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

LOL @ all the guys raging about this announcement...

For true fans, this is something great.

What's worse, people annoyed at the announcement or people claiming to be True Fans™ and that everybody else is a baby?

 

[TheChits]

Oh this is dope. Hell yeah

 

[zenosparadox]

Sweet! I was hoping this would eventually hit retail.

 

[Armoured Priest]

Always liked Maze Walker (Maze Hunter). Owned it and the 3D-glasses for the SMS. Will be happy to play it again.

Power Drift is cool as well.

 

[Tsunamo]

No Sega Europe love? First Yakuza 0, now this.

 

[entremet]

I'm actually excited. I wanted these since the stupid 3DS is region locked.

They exceeded my expectations!

 

[Parham]

Woohoo! I'm genuinely excited for this.

 

[morikaze]

This is great having not yet bought any of Sega's 3D remasters i'd much rather own them this way than digitally. Hopefully they will release a part two of this collection for the rest of the games.

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

Hmm, haven't we seen this boxart before?

 

[Joqu]

They're perfect ports with added save states, and there are way more of them. I don't see how these ports could be much better. And can you really have the "best-looking version" of anything on a 3DS screen?

Uh yeah, obviously? Even ignoring the added 3D effect it's a great screen for retro games because of its resolution.

 

[Polioliolio]

Love the artwork.

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

That cover art :/. I'd love to play Power Drift again, but Thunderblade has not aged well.

 

[cireza]

What's worse, people annoyed at the announcement or people claiming to be True Fans™ and that everybody else is a baby?

Get over it man, you can do it.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Folks acting as though SEGA posted a screenshot of Bayonetta and Yu Suzuki hi fiving in front of a Vanquish boss fight with Yuzo Koshiro DJing in the background and the words "TUNE IN TOMORROW!" in Golden Axe font

 

[Gono]

 

[entremet]

lol what a fucking disappointment. why even hint at Shenmue ports for PS4 if it was going to be this

Is Shenmue Classic SEGA, though?

I'm really not understanding the expectations people were having here.

When I think classic SEGA I'm thinking of Mega Drive and earlier.

 

[Worldshaker]

This is great news. Day one for me. I know everyone expected something amazing, but you gotta remember this is SEGA.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Get over it man, you can do it.

I'm disappointed for sure but both sides are acting silly. I was ready to be disappointed from the beginning.

Lol

 

[Jiguryo]

Power Drift, Fantasy Zone II & the Rest? I'm in.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Hmm, haven't we seen this boxart before?

The collection was only going to be coming out in Japan, but not confirmed for localization. I am excited for it myself.

 

[JazzmanZ]

You shouldn't care then if you expected nothing.

 

[Brazil]

What's worse, people annoyed at the announcement or people claiming to be True Fans™ and that everybody else is a baby?

The former.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Ooh that's very nice.

Will purchase for sure, even though I already own 3 of the six games digitally.

 

[ratcliffja]

This is exactly what I was hoping. I'll most likely pick this up for my commute.

 

[March of the Crabs]

I want this but there's no way I'm EVER dropping $50 CAD on this thing. What the hell, Sega!?
