Silly Microsoft, Nintendo doesn't overcharge for these kind of ports with no extra features!

Wait.

Gunstar Heroes is worth 800 points, especially if it had co-op over Live. That was one of the best 16-bit games ever!

Gunstar Heroes is worth 1200 freaking points!!!

However, why would sega release these on the arcade when their Sega Ultimate Collection is coming out?

No, it's NOT. While I have extremely fond memories of the day I rented that game for my Sega Genesis from the video rental store (dvd's weren't even out), I know that it's JUST A MEMORY and I will not relive that day by playing the game again.

Is it a good game? By 1993's standards, it was one of the best. By today's standards, NO.

One day when you're extremely excited while typing in the " Your comments:" box, stop and thing for a about half a minute or so... maybe you won't write such crazy things as "This game that, by today's standards, looks like crap on HiDef TV's, has no network capabilities, is limited in gameplay, etc. is worth more than Geometry Wars 2 and is equally worth the very well redone for today's standards Street Fighter 2 HD".

C'MON!!!!!

It's a classic game man. Plenty of people play plenty of money for re-released retro games with no added features. Why should a game from 1993 live up to today's standards if it was released 15 years ago?

OMFG Gunstar Heroes? I've had dreams of that coming out on XBLA. Sonic 3 is awsome as well!

Three of those games Ultimate Genesis Collection coming out in February, so I'd rather wait for that.

Comix Zone is one of my favourite games ever, though. :P I bought the Virtual Console version and everything.

Totally worth 400 points if you haven't played them already or plan on buying the upcoming collection. Sonic 3 really should come with Sonic & Knuckles though...

Gunstar Heroes isn't, but all the other ones are in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection like I thought: http://www.sega.com/games/?g=577

For some reason it seems like they might be getting re-rated for the disc.

Actually, SEGA published Gunstar Heroes and the collection is supposed to have unlockable titles that have yet to be announced. Maybe that's one of them.

I agree, I think these games are just being rated for the Collection Disc. I also agree that Gunstar Heroes will end up being an unlockable game.

I hope this disc sells well and shows other companies they can make more money selling their classic games as a collection instead of the crap we see them doing on Nintendo's Virtual Console.

Phantasy Star would be the only one worth the points to me.
