Remember that Sega Genesis Collection game for the PS2 & PSP that was dirt cheap? I just found out that Sega is releasing a new collection, but this time it's for the 360/PS3. More games, $30 price tag, 720p visuals, achievements/trophies (oh yes!), Spring of 2009 release, unlockable interviews, bonus 8-bit/arcade games, BRING IT! Oh and it'll be released in Europe as well (where they'll call it the Ultimate Mega Drive Collection).

And a couple bullet points from the website:
"ALL TITLES UPGRADED TO HI-DEF. The classic 2D style never looked so good! Each of the titles has been converted to hi-def (720p) and will be a blast to play using the intuitive controls of the Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3 systems."
"• UNLOCKABLE CONTENT. Unlock arcade games and interviews with the original game developers as you earn Achievements on the Xbox 360® and Trophies on the PLAYSTATION®3."
Sadly, it looks like there's no online multiplayer. Oh well, you can't get everything.
Anyway, I'm really psyched. Now time to see if I can unload my PS2 Genesis Collection before its value drops to nil.
EDIT: Here's the announcement:

Most people wont notice such a small delay, but I find it annoying.
Very nice set overall.

Further news from Sega has revealed that all of the Sega Genesis Collection's possible achievements are obtained by playing Sonic Spinball.

AND Shining games?!
You lucky, lucky next-geners.
The more I realize what's in this version, the worse it gets.
Double or triple? I'm afraid to do the math, but it's waaay higher than that.

I hope Quartet is unlockable.
I imagine there's copyright conflicts with that one.
Also these'll lack the online co-op, vs or leaderboards and whatnot of the XBLA re-releases, as the press release indicates it's straight smoothed-sprite emulation. So all in all not as good as the XBLA rereleases they started doing, even if the cost works out better.

they should just let you stretch the damn picture though as-is
What does "converted for 720p" mean, because it certainly doesn't mean this:
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
-the Genesis
-the PC (Sega Smash Pack)
-the Gamecube (Sonic Mega Collection)
-the Xbox (Sonic Mega Collection+)
-the PS2 (Genesis Collection)
-the 360 (XBLA release)
And I'm eventually going to own it for the 360 proper.
If there was ever a competition for consumer whore of the century, I don't think anyone would be able to compete with me.
That is so fucking sexy I think I'm gonna' cry.
I dunno man, I own Rayman 2 for
-PC
-N64
-Dreamcast
-DS
-PSX
-PS2
And I don't even OWN a fucking PS2.

So bought. (I wish Landstalker was on there though )
It will be mine.
EDIT: Holy shit, my little gamer sig just told me I was offline for 14691 days.

1. I’ll now be playing them on a nice big T.V, rather than a handheld.
2. There’s more games on it that I want.
Really, I don’t think anything else needs to be said.

Also, Rayman 2 is a beautiful game, I almost always play it before I go to bed, then I have sweet sweet dreams.
What the hell is wrong with all of us?
