While growing up, we had the options of being either a Super Nintendo kid or someone who sided with Sega Genesis. So which side were you on, in case you grew up amidst the great console battles of the early 90s? The thing is, there was way too much of fierce competition, and we are more than willing to redo that battle with the brand new Sega Genesis Classics Collection, comprising of 50 games from the good old times to both the PS4 as well as Xbox One.
It has been announced by Sega Europe that 50 Mega Drive retro games which include popular games such as various Sonic and Golden Axe versions and Toe Jam & Earl. This is going to be a superb Sega Classic collection featuring “arcade action, shooters, beat’m ups, puzzlers, old favorites, and hidden gems.” Despite the games being old, they are reintroduced with a number of modern features such as “online multiplayer, achievements, mirror modes, rewind, and save states.”
The game’s physical copy will contain a double-sided Golden Axe and Streets of Rage poster, just the kind that you would have spotted in the 90s theme bedroom featured in the game’s promotional video. However, we caution you against being upset if you don’t like buying hard copies because the game will have a digital release as well and Steam users will get an opportunity to “also be treated to The Treasures of King Nole in the form of a huge free update to the feature set.”
The digital and physical copies of the game come out on May 29, and you can go through the list of the entire 50 games below. If you need further information, you can visit the game’s official website.
For now, we will try to suppress our delight at this news. Not that we are not excited, but, because it was impossible to survive on Sega streets if rage is not your thing. It is thrilling to even imagine the console wars of the 1990s.
