SEGA should just stop caring about Japan.

Japan caught on to the fact that 90% of the SEGA Ages stuff is available in other places at much better prices/free

sega was never big in japan, how is this a surprise

Maybe they should've released Virtua Racing in America

I mean, a lot of the games are already bundled in the Genesis collection, but i have a feeling Sega never truly wanted to bring that to the Switch to begin with. They need to get off the Genesis train and start bringing Dreamcast games to it instead.

So many of these games have been bundled together before. It's no wonder people don't want to buy them individually. "Sega Ages" should have just been a single cart/download for like 20-30 bucks with several games. I can't believe there's only three Sonic games to play on Switch and one of them is fucking Forces. What happened to the Sonic Mega Collection style? You'd get many games, unlockable ones, tons of art galleries and videos. People would like something like that. They like when there's bonus features instead of just reselling roms. Rereleases are lazier than ever today.

Japanese companies need to follow Sony and pander to westerners
It's the reason why Sony is more successful than the rest of them

what dreamcast game would you like to see re-released? zombie revenge and dynamite cop?

where the FUCK are the rest of my sonic sega ages games sega
Sonic 1 isn't going to hold me forever

Shenmue 1 and 2, since they clearly have no intention of bringing the HD games to the Switch
Crazy Taxi
Jet Set Radio
Skies of Arcadia
Space Channel 5
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 would be inevitable, even if don't personally want them

It's not like the Master System or the Megadrive were hot shit in Japan at the time, so it's not surprising.
They should do more arcade/Saturn/Dreamcast stuff, or at least more RPG, like Shining Force.

Indeed.

Sega is about to become the most redpilled company after Capcom.

Serves them fucking right. This bullshit is unacceptable.

If they hadn't tried to actively antagonize their western branches for consistently doing better than them they wouldn't have half the problems they've become famous for.

What happened here. I don't feel partial to either versions desu.

literally the only people who are autistic enough to care about this wouldn't have bought the game even if it was 100% perfect to the original

>It's plain as day that Eurofags and Amerifats actually WANT the games since both sides historically loved the Genesis and SEGA arcade titles more than Japan ever did

dynamite cop is the best game ever and i'd rather you faggots keep its name out of your semen-lined mouths, a rerelease would only lead to more fucking retards discussing it, stick to this meme bullshit instead:

If this means we're getting the Sakura Wars series localized on PC and modern systems, fine by me.

>SEGA should just stop caring about Switch.
ftfy

I know what they can do, make PSO3 Japan exclusive.

Why is everyone fucking talking about wing war recently? Did some tardtuber talk about it or something?

SEGA collection is like 10 bucks on STEAM every big sale.

disgusting

>sega of japan is retarded
WOW
IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE'VE KNOWN THIS SINCE SoJ'S PURE RETARDATION KILLED SEGA'S CONSOLE SALES AND SENT THEM IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL (IN TERMS OF NON-YAKUZA GAME QUALITY) THAT STILL HASN'T FUCKING STOPPED
IMAGINE
MY
SHOCK

Honestly I feel like I'm single handedly responsible for it. I just think it's a tragedy that it's stuck in the arcade when it's such a charming game. Seeing VR on Switch gave me hope it might be possible to see it finally get a release.

Being a huge Classic Sonic fan I'm worried that the AGES Line will run out of steam and we'll only see a few more Genesis ports. These titles aren't priced too steep considering the love and care they get. I really just want Sonic 1-3&K, and yes that's including CD

Why is colonization and destruction of other cultures ok when the left does it?
Are these people for real? This is insane

Yakuza isnt good lol

I feel like playing it at home would just take away the utter awesomeness of playing it in an r360, i guess at least a decent joystick can emulate the standup cab's controls. Does MAME have model1 emulation yet, actually?

It's Resetera. The loonies of old Neofag. The site split even further too recently. Some mods quit because the site was too crazy for them and they have a new one now.

This has to be fake
There is no fucking way this is real, no one can be this psychotic, blind and completely ignorant of how the world works.
If its real Japan needs to kick him out

Maybe quit release shit nobody wants?
Also the prices are a fucking joke

Why buy sega ages titles when you can just but the genesis collection for a few bucks more?

>Does MAME have model1 emulation yet, actually?
yes but it's dog shit.

Yakuza is decent and has remained consistently decent because SEGA hasn't fucked with it. I'm not personally a fan of the series, but I can acknowledge its quality.
I myself am a Puyofag, so I have to deal with the sickening fact that SEGA are now integrating the fucking awful garbage from the mobage, further worsening the series and tainting what its image will be in the west.

Why do people come here to say such utterly ridiculous things?
You can't go 5 steps in Tokyo without seeing some SEGA establishment.

What a shock, buncha xenophobic gooks catering to themselves even when it costs them money.

Nothing changed from the 90s, it seems.

Arcades yeah
Consoles they never were but a mere blip

That sucks, pretty funny that M2 and even M3 have reached pretty decent emulation while M1 has nothing.

Thanks for giving me an easy way to avoid your shitty posts, bosco

The saturn was fairly popular there.

Triggered weeb

How is this company still living when it has deserved to die arguably since the mid 90s?

People who want proper emulation. A lot of these Sega Ages titles are getting content added or restored and the prices are about on par for the Wii's Virtual Console.

I mean why would I buy the Genesis Collection over the Sega Ages titles. Sure it's cheaper but the emulation quality is poor so I'd be better off just downloading roms. I believe high quality ports with more content being able to be purchased ala-carte is a much better idea unless we get a proper collection done by M2

lol holy shit did i just murder a tripfag by implying i'd filter xer

Apparently Yakuza ties.

Speaking of added stuff, the AGES version of Phantasy Star was incredible, just for the automap.

I just want Daytona, STCC and Virtua Racing on PC you hacks

Bonus for Virtua Fighter and Wild Aces

yes, they have a history of it, just look at their consoles

Filtered.

How many times can people buy the same ports that are on every single fucking console. Get some Dreamcast games or Jet Set Radio Future on that and maybe people will be more interested.

Is SEGA AGES not on PC? It just got Virtua Racing.

take bayo back, you fucker SEGA

Based and Redpilled, i expect some stuff on E3

JUST FUCKING PORT OUTRUN 2006 AND PUYO PUYO FEVER 2
THEY'RE ALL I FUCKING CARE ABOUT

They're way overpriced compared to just getting the genesis collection. 50+ games for the same price as four Sega Ages games, and they're all included AFAIK.

have you seen the Switch remake? that shit is gorgeous

I mean, they tried Sega Ages in Japan on the fucking PS2, and surprise, they sold so poorly that they never remade Phantasy Star IV like they did the first two games. What the fuck were they expecting even with the age of digital downloads? And even if AM2 personally ports everything themselves in the new Sega Ages stuff, you need games people give a shit about to begin with, and so far they've brought over a handful of arcade games compiled in basically everything SEGA, a couple Master System games, and Sonic 1 with a Drop Dash and a definitive Thunder Force IV - both series that probably resonate a lot more with the west than Japan.

Why buy a shitty collection of roms when you can just emulate? M2 does enhanced ports with added features and game modes. I'd rather have quality over quantity.

I got Sonic 1 and Outrun. Sonic 1 with drop dash and arcade-perfect Outrun with remixed stages are well worth the price IMO. I wish they'd port Sonic 2 with the restored Hidden Palace stage that the mobile version has.

Given that there is a screenshot here he wasn't wrong in the end.

You probably did. They've done a Sega Ages per-generation since the Saturn, then to the PS2, then to the PS3/360 as individually downloadable titles without the Ages branding. The newest stuff is Switch-exclusive but also the most extensive they're going with the branding.

SEGA AGES isn't on PC

fucking Nasu sold the soul to the devil to make FGO famous

Talk is that Sonic 2 will be the 'Best version available' but nothing concrete yet. It's going to have to do a whole lot just to stand on the same footing as Taxmans mobile version

Also if people is willing to pay at least sell it cheap or in a collection.

>became

Yeah, the reviews have been great.

Damn. Some way to emulate it maybe?

Well, we're talking about the company that sabotaged itself out of the console market. Guess they haven't changed in all this time.

suure

They should go straight to making their best games instead of doing things chronologically. I just want Phantasy Star IV and Saturn/Dreamcast stuff but they'll probably end up stopping before that due to poor sales or reaching the end of the console gen. Then they'll start from the beginning all over again.

That too, of course. I was speaking more for people on switch etc who are running official firmware.

has anyone posted this/stuff like this on 2chan? just curious how they would react

$8 but sure

Damn, this is hype. Never played Thunder Force, does it hold up?

You need to be in Japan to post there IIRC.

Okay but who is elated that M2 is taking over on the Genesis Mini?

Attached: Sonic_Sonic_Mania_Tails_character_Knuckles-1390089.png (1600x900, 1.17M)

I can already emulate most Genesis games on my SNES Classic, and while the Genesis Mini may be packing 40 games and USB Genesis controllers instead of more Wiimote dongle bullshit, I don't really have an urge to buy that up unless I find it for a bargain.

More excited about getting some really good third party games than having M2. Earthworm Jim came outta nowhere.

yeah? has anyone done so?

no shit, sherlock. that's like saying prostitution has existed way before your mom made it popular.

M2 doesn't do straight up emulations. They completely recode them. Like Outrun is 60fps now instead of original 30

Who did Arle kill?

Yeah, but that's the AGES ports. Do you think they'd do that for the Genesis Mini, especially with third-party games on there? You'll probably see really efficient Genesis emulation that they can likely do with direct system documentation from Sega, but these will otherwise straight-up be emulating the games with a save state system attached.

Well, that or they just put Blast 'Em, though I doubt M2 would do that.

im sorry you probably don't know this, but the genesis was number THREE in the "console wars" over there.

number 2 and 1 were fucking TG-16 and SNES. its why import genesis shit is dirt cheap and the only series they USED to care about was fucking Sakura Taisen

Look just cause there's sega arcades every 5 minutes and entire rooms in other arcades dedicated to Virtua Fighter doesn't mean sega is big in japan!

we will NEVER fucking get S3 or S&K again because of the MJ shit, FOR SOME FUCKING REASON.

last collections that had it were on 6th gen consoles.

My god, you're STILL on this?

Attached: 1499614408687.png (336x397, 218K)

Resale of SNES and older games along with consoles is already an active market in Japan unlike overseas. Why the fuck would they want emulation when they can get the real thing.

SEGA was a mega success in arcades, and the Saturn lived there far longer than it did in the west (though to be fair Bernie Stolar basically sabotaged them on that one), but they're modest at best in the industry otherwise. Which makes games like Phantasy Star Online 2, likely only held in Japan initially because of spite for people pirating a fucking PSP game in the west before all the crossover contractual weeb shit seeped in, all the more frustrating.

You're not the real cutey shadow who isn't an erafag, shoo.

I don't know why they don't just put in new music. Yes it will sting a little but there are plenty of talented composers out there that could come up with worthy replacements.

>Milking the MS/MD again rather than moving on to Saturn and Dreamcast
I'm not fucking shocked.

NONONOONNOONONONNOONONNOONONNO FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK WHERE ARE MY DREAMCAST GAMES

you mean japs don't want to buy the same fucking games for the 50th time?

shocking

Fanbases are too autistic for that shit. There are people that will legit not buy the newer OutRun ports because the car doesn't have the ferrari logo.

She needs some gloves.

This, they need to fucking move on.
ANOTHER port of Virtua Racing, a game that seriously aged badly (especially gameplay wise, I'd rather play Outrun or Outrunner than VR)
Yet they've NEVER ported Daytona USA 2 and a ton of other arcade exclusives

>only supports joycons
fucking SHIT

I think the last port of S3&K was 2011 when it hit steam

Well, this and I think Japan would rather some bloody decent sequels to games that are yet to explore from Sega's part.

Hey, how about that Ristar 2, dude? Heard it was completely bonkers.

This hurts. Sega Ages is awesome and M2s work is always outstanding. I've been picking up every one that comes out

Those people are the minority though. Plenty of people would buy a good port of 3&K even with new music.

If they released games that haven't been done a hundred times on collections it might have better appraisal.

Wait, so these games are enhanced, they're not just emulated versions? Which games are available on switch? I ignored them since I assumed they were just single roms for £5 each.

Silver lining is 'Over seas interest better than exspected'. Maybe they'll shift the SEGA AGES line to be more geared towards that audience

I doubt they can do Saturn or Dreamcast well themselves. All the HD ports of those games are based off of pre-existing Gamecube or PC ports. I think AM2 expressed that actually doing either system would be a real pain in the ass, and the Shenmue 1 remaster is probably more of an exception to the rule than a new definition.

They're complete remasters re-coded from the ground up, but they're made to be as accurate as possible. The Phantasy Star one is probably the best since it adds stuff like a mini-map and a guide, making it MUCH better than just emulating the original.

Sonic 1, Thunder Force 4, Phantasy Star, Out Run, Gain Ground, and Alex Kidd. Japan also has Puyo Puyo and Virtua Racing, they should be out in the next few months.

This is what happens when you put games on switch

>"Sega Ages" should have just been a single cart/download for like 20-30 bucks with several games.
Or just do what they did with 3DS: Individual releases digitally, then compiled releases on cartridge after the fact.

Why the FUCK is virtua racing not released outside of the Japanese E-shop? The game doesn't even have any Japanese text, what the fuck?

Yeah that's cool but where's my Skies of Arcadia port?

They did the same thing with Out Run for a while.
youtu.be/lPb4MFdWKWU?list=PLRTcITwjne0VZ4raRQMFuCFXF6juZs2bj

I mean women going apeshit and going after men to take advantage of the same, making it as screwed up as a rape situation itself, going out of her way to rip everything from that person.

I've lived in this world long enough to know anyone is capable of anything, be it male or female.

None of these have been released simultaneously in both regions. For stupid reasons only Sega knows.

good fuck sega

Any reason for me not to just make a Japanese eshop account and buying it there? Also did the outrun port add anything new?

It's basically just the 3DS version but for switch. Only real downside is that they had to re-sprite the car cause they lost the ferrari license. But other than that it pretty much is the arcade game on the go so it's a decent investment if you want that.

got any examples, because I'm pretty darn sure this basically never happens while there are thousands upon thousands of actual rapes reported every year

You’d think they get over it by now
Can’t their CEO just die like Iwata and be replaced by someone who’s younger with some god damn sense?

Princess crown in english now sega

>Being developed by the majestic M2, Sega Ages Out Run features full widescreen support and 60 FPS playback. This isn't some stupid filter slapped on to simulate widescreen, but an honest-to-god expanded view that helps make the game feel larger than life. Playing it on a massive HDTV actually looks damn great, even for a game that is old enough to have children.

>You get a hugely expanded selection of songs, taking the original three and including around 10 more with some remixes and megamixes in tow. Unlockable car upgrades are now included, meaning you can tweak your runs to give yourself an edge and create speedrun times to challenge your friends with. There's even the addition of a "New" and "Old" course (basically a remixed version of the track) along with a recreation of the original arcade experience (30 FPS and only three songs). Gyro controls simulate using a steering wheel if you're into that, too. It’s awesome.

>It doesn't take long to unlock all of those extra parts (especially since you can tweak the difficulty to remove traffic or give yourself nearly two minutes per checkpoint), but I had way more fun than I should have playing with each upgrade and changing the car color. It's crazy how something so simple got me excited to replay Out Run about 15 times in a row. I think a lot of my appreciation for this title came from its inclusion in Yakuza 0, but it's hard to fault an arcade classic for being simple and fun.

And no, theres nothing stopping you from getting the Jap version.

just put Phantasy Star II, III, and IV on there, I'm playing I for the first time and having a blast

I wish. Look at how much Capcom improved with a new exec regime.

God damn the yakuza has their hands in everything
They’re like Niggers and Jews combined
It’s extra strange considering the Yakuza sells car insurance and not the “Protection” car insurance like legit insurance

Bottom line: Keep the Gaijin out of Japan.

While I can't say with 100% certainty, I have a feeling that this might have something to do with the fact that they re-release these games all the fucking time.

This lists most of them except Thunder Force and Gain Ground (and Gain Ground isn't that great anyway).

>I don't feel partial to either versions

When you re-release your old games as classics, then the measure is how faithfully you are reproducing the original release on new hardware.
And that looks fucking unacceptable, is right.

This game would have been considered an all time classic. Would still be getting games today and would be in every top 10 MD list had the character just been a good design. But look at that absolute fucking SHIT. Heady? Fucking heady dude? They fucked up.

wasn't this because the game was mostly reconstructed from an arcade sequel since the original version was lost?

Huh that would explain all the japs here
And bamboo...and Kudzu...and sushi....
Fuck is Georgia actually Japan?

Why are they always in Japan?

Is there anything doing well in Japan?

Monster Hunter?

chucklefucks want to reform japan from the inside-out and "make everything correct"

This is true. Sega only did well in america minus the Saturn. No matter how hard they try to appeal to japan with their arcades they will never be popular there.

So far the only one to actually care is the guy that made Senran Kagura. Who, in this case, threw a fit and quit.

speaking of

this. the only reason the saturn was more popular than n64 in japan was it had more than like 2 rpgs.

And Europe.

And alot of VNs and 2D games.

>not liking headdy's design
You absolutely fucking disgust me in every way imaginable.
The real thing that prevented the game from being remembered was the fuckawful localization.

i don't get why treasure didn't make an easy mode based on the japanese difficulty. that version was hard enough as is.

Ristar is best platformer. Alien soldier is best action game.

My question is why did the localization remove nearly all the plot AND make the game harder?

well that too.

Honestly when you appeal to people who would rebuy the classics you can't fuck up things like this.

damn that looks awesome

They could also just pay the damn royalties. I mean its not like they will charge Sega so much damn money that its going to bankrupt them or anything. Its also not like they will be charged so much that it wouldn't be worth porting them. At least I don't think so.

And of course there is what you said here. Someone needs to confront Sega about this once and for all. Omitting the best Sonic games all the time is seriously stupid.

That looks fucking awesome.
Too bad arcades practically don't exist in Germany.
Probably has saved me a lot of money, though.

Didn't Saturn absolutely cream N64 in Japan though?

This is some weird kind of imperialism.

It only outsold the N64 in Japan by a few hundred thousand units

I just bought phantasy star because of this thread, and will get virtua racing when it comes out. Also for anyone wondering I think I read that you can get jp eshop points from amazon japan, I feel like it would be cheaper to get it there then from play asia.

Is it only sega that is doing this? This is actually what would get me to buy roms. SNES/N64 Mario Kart with co-op online 8-player grand prix's and online battle modes would be my shit if it was populated.

When is a virtura racing switch port coming state side?

Someone redpill me on why multiculturalism is bad

It erases a countries culture.

Tell me user what do you know of the cultures of the Mayans? Aztecs? Do we still follow aspects of them? What about the Tiwanaku?Their histories are droplets of water falling into an endless sea. They are significant unto themselves for a moment, and then they are gone. So will cultures that fully embrace multiculturalism. They lose everything.

Not made by Sega.

It had a PC version, so there's probably a download somewhere.

as long as phantasy star 2-4 come out i will be happy

Sega Ages version of Sonic 2 is rumoured to have 'extra features' which people think will be the extra stage, but still no release date for the game. Starting to think 2 may not even get released, let alone CD, 3, K.

i'm sure at least 4 will be on there

Sonic money.

>DUDE REMEMBER THE GENESIS?
Yes Sega, we remember, and we've had our fill of it. Now give us your newer systems and games that we've all been waiting for and maybe just maybe it will do fine

They said they want to do Saturn and Dreamcast games.

Yeah but the point of this thread is that it might be too late for that with how poorly the other releases have been doing.

Congrats, you beat the n64. I bet the dreamcast also crushed the virtual boy.

Illbleed and D2 would be nice

Stop complaining.

Ok then, what wouldn't be complaining to you? Not pointing things out?

>people itt talking about buying the jap versions
Any point to this other than a meaningless attempt to fight against the article in the OP? Do the Japanese versions have anything extra?

Yes. So stop complaining before I kick your scrawny ass.

Alright, just as soon as you get them more sales, dick.

Attached: 1557321056541.png (380x300, 151K)

Literally only because they have delays in releasing in the west, and some of them don't even have localization necessities. Virtua Racing has no japanese text at all for example.

You stop complaining now. Last warning.

I'd rather they offer official translations of the 1&2 remakes since those are actually different and new.

>release again and again AND AGAIN AND FUCKING AGAIN THE SAME MEGA DRIVES GAMES
>"WHAT? GREAT NIPPON DOESNT WANT TO PLAY THEM AGAIN?"

Even in the west the last collections have been ignored BECAUSE SEGA IS ALWAYS RERELEASING THE SAME FUCKING GAMES and will do the same shit with MD mini. They are also saturing the market with Yakuza rereleases so close to each other ffs
Just stop, release games that need digital versions like JSRF, SoA, Unleashed, more Saturn and Dreamcast games, etc. Hell, I would love an online Chuchu Rocket instead of the 10th version of Sonic 1

Can't believe anyone's falling for this when the last paragraph is obviously only there to act as an alibi when anyone tries to look up the post on the site.

They also do a garbage job of highlighting the differences in new re-releases. Anons in this thread thought the Ages were just repackaged roms again. Sonic Adventure 2 HD didn't highlight that it was meant to be based off of the Dreamcast version until suddenly you had to pay for the fucking Battle content as DLC. And other stupid shit like that.

Will we ever get Segagaga in english?

They never announced anything good so far, maybe?

>Sonic Adventure 2 HD didn't highlight that it was meant to be based off of the Dreamcast version until suddenly you had to pay for the fucking Battle content as DLC.

This shit is so scummy by these developers and Sega is far from the only one that would pull a stunt like this.

They ought to screen retards like this out before letting people into the country.

If you are genuinely interested, here you go.
Multiculturalism leads to low-trust and observably low-functioning societies.:
>The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings.
>In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogeneous settings.
archive.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/08/05/the_downside_of_diversity/

From a biological standpoint, multiculturalism is unsustainable. Eventually the disparities between groups will cause shifts in demographics. Lower birthrate groups, which are lower because they are K-selective compared to others, will eventually be demographically replaced in an egalitarian society, or even worse, a society that puts the economic and social interests of the r-selected above the K groups, which is what we have now. This is only amplified with infinite immigration-based economic expansion policies that the west has.

Communities work best and actually care about each other the more similar everybody is, sure you can have quite a few minorities existing in this community and everything will still run like clock work and they will gradually be absorbed.

But there is, at a certain point, a critical mass that once reached throws the entire system out of wack. You no longer just have a Muslims neibour you say hi to every morning, you have Muslim communities that have no need for interlopers. You don't have that good black friend you grab drinks with at the bar every second Friday, you have packs and gangs going around playing the knock out game. You don't have that cute Asian gf anymore, because her parents in China town don't her dating some none dog eatting white devil.

Birds of a feather flock together, and the more and more "diverse" you make a place the more and more divided it will become. This doesn't happen in the beginning with malice in mind, it's just nice to be with people who understand you, share the same interests, have similar backgrounds and upbringings. But as long as there is an "other" there will always be disagreements. And unlike personnel disagreements, group disagreements have long memories.

What are they expecting? All their pre dreamcast games suck ass and thats all they push. Yeah i totally want to play this broken 30 minute brawler where you mash 2 buttons! No no seriously i was DYING for that one shitty racing game where you can count the polygons! Sonic 1 again YAS QUEEN WE LIKE THAT ONE RIGHT SONICRETRO?

Their best eras were 6 and 7. Tons of actual good classics that still hold up or can hold up with some tweaks on the dreamcast, gamecube, xbox, 360, psp, ds.

I mean, there's a reason Sega fell out of the race so damn early. They're just so bad at management and even after all these years it's still the same story. The fact they're still afloat is a miracle.

Because it boils down to white people get to bitch and moan and dictate your life.

And every one of your examples works under the assumption of a white population being replaced. This is fundamentally racist.

There is tension between different ethnic or cultural groups. That is undeniable. But we're transitioning from a period where large groups of people were separated by geography. Those barriers have only very recently begun to be whittled down by modern transportation and more accessible information.

In time will will transition to a more universal, global society. There will be hold-outs, of course. But over time we will - hopefully - adjust to a global society not hung-up on the collective sins of the past.

uniroincally kill yourself.

Sega Ages version of Out Run any good?

That's some good low IQ insecurity there.

>And every one of your examples works under the assumption of a white population being replaced. This is fundamentally racist.

They are, and to be against that belief is due to your hatred of Europeans. More over, because there are genetic differences between races, and this differences have real world impact on societies, then the word "racism" becomes a dubious slur, which only works if you believe the pseudoscience of racial equality.

It really is hilariously absurd just how fucking stupid Sega of America can be, just how incompetent the crotchety geezers in charge of Sega of Japan are, and how the two keep coming to disagreements on basically everything.

I miss PSO and and Phantasy Star Portrable games.
I don't even want PSO2 I just wanna be able to play Episode 1,2 and even 3.
Or the fucking PSP games.

And not on emulation.

God.

That looks sick.

I would fuck her.

So you're saying that Western Imperialism isn't a thing?
Or how the west likes to push it's puritanism and prudishness onto others?

Dumb retard.

3DS had better versions of most of these games a few years ago, why bother buying it on Switch?

go back to REtardera and kill yourself, you sad tranny.

Yeah, what if a foreign force outbred and took over America and defaced natural landmarks with hulking bits of metal and defiled and destroyed the land itself, could you imagine? What kind of monstrous race would do such a thing?

Virtua Formula is LITERALLY Virtua Racing, just with support for 8 cabinet play.

Attached: what.png (4740x3564, 721K)

The only shared releases so far is OutRun and Sonic. OutRun has more music and no 3D so really that's up to what you value. 3D adds nothing to Sonic and Switch has the drop dash added so that's the real winner here.

The Model 1 colors are wrong.

It went through an NTSC signal. No dispaly can show NTSC color gamut.

So the Switch colors are probably more accurate when displaying the game on a CRT.

You are a fucking retard. If that's the case, then why do many elements such as the HUD and the sky retain the exact same color as the original?

Quick reminder that the Genesis mini they're releasing soon will have two fucking Mickey games on it yet Sega can't get royalties figured out for a handful of songs.

And so does multiculturalism

Also why does it look right in MAME

Why does the color matter when everything else about it is way better?
If it bothers you so much you can enjoy the dogshit ps2/Saturn versions then

But you should, genesis collection is kino.

Play the original on an emulator then.

Or even better, play it on genesis.

As far as I know it's the Genesis version, not the arcade.

It's the arcade version, what the fuck are you talking about?

The ages one?

It's the Genesis, I'm pretty sure.

Sega has always hated their foreign branches ever since SoA and SoE made more profit and became more successful than SoJ in the 16 bit days. They have a history of sabotaging or just plain refusing their other branches games, patches, and other things that would actually bring profit to the main company.
