When you’re trying to limit yourself to just 21 titles, sometimes you have to make some tough decisions. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine on the Sega Genesis Classic Edition would be ideal. Having the original puzzler instead of Columns III or the Puyo Puyo clone, Dr. It seems like overkill to have both.Ĭolumns III: Revenge of Columns is more cartoony than its predecessor, and the gameplay is identical. It’s a better choice for the single-player horror themed platformer than Capcom’s Ghouls n’ Ghosts, another franchise that somehow made it to the NES Classic and SNES Classic. Konami’s Castlevania franchise is proudly represented in the NES Classic and SNES Classic edition, and would be a great fit for a Sega Genesis Classic Edition.

If licensing was not an issue and you could curate a list of 21 Sega Genesis titles to sell in an HD console like the Flashback, is it possible to create a “Sega Genesis Classic Edition” with as much hype as the SNES Classic? The answer is an emphatic “Yes!” Here are my picks:Īltered Beast did make it into the Sega Genesis Flashback HD 2017, and its multiple animal transformation gameplay is a sidescrolling adventure that screams Genesis. The 85 games boasted by the HD-capable console are made up of several questionable Genesis games, an overdose of video game sequels, several titles that came out for the Sega Master System or Sega Game Gear, and shovelware that never existed during the Sega Genesis days. While the Sega Genesis Flashback HD 2017 by ATGames contains over four times the number of games as the SNES Classic Edition, the games selected present far less value.

Inclusion in an official product like a Flashback would arguably give the developer a free pass. The Portables will be of the modest/minimal changes variety (and only single models), although the included games should prove extremely compelling."Ĭommenting about more homebrew games being added this year. As for build quality, that's all relative I suppose, particularly at the price points. They'll have pricing to match their respective builds, although I can't really see anyone here not wanting to spend the extra for the premium model. "I want to tread carefully here, obviously, but basically there will be a budget version with modest/minimal changes and a premium version with significant changes/complete overhaul. When asked about the quality of the builds. There will be differences though between what's on the consoles and what's on the portables."

"All I can say is that there is going to be an impressive third party line-up this year on the Atari and Sega systems. From Bill Loguidice (works with AT Games) about the upcoming holiday season AT Games coming out:
