Sega wants your vote for the next Genesis XBLA game

by Richard Mitchell on Aug 14th 2009 6:00PM

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Genesis, Sega is asking you, The Internet, to pick the next Genesis game to arrive on Xbox Live Arcade. It doesn't look like an easy choice either, as the list of candidates has some of the console's best games. All told, you can cast your vote for:

Earthworm Jim
Streets of Rage
Golden Axe II
Toejam & Earl
Shining Force
Revenge of Shinobi
Wonderboy in Monster World

Sega is accepting votes until August 21, so head over to genesispoll.com and vote. We'd be remiss not to mention that all of these games are available on Virtual Console already, but XBLA is guaranteed to add a few extra features, like game saving, Achievements and online multiplayer. Keep that in mind when casting your vote.

Although I want Sonic & Knuckles, I voted for Toejam.

I like Shinobi but im looking for flashback

Earthworm Jim FTW!

Earthworm Jim is a fun game, but there will be no co-op. Toejam & Earl online could be very fun. Come on people vote for TJ & Earl.

At first, I was strongly in favor of Revenge of Shinobi (pure early '90's awesomeness), but then, when considering online multiplayer, I think Golden Axe 2 would be the best fit.

However, my opinion is ultimately irrelevant since I don't have a 360...

Really hoping that this ends up on PSN as well since I don't have a 360.
I voted for ToeJam & Earl (would rather have Panic in Funkotron), but Streets of Rage would be awesome as well.

I really want SEGA to release Sonic CD on XBLA/PSN so I can finally play it. I never had a SEGA CD and the only compilation I have is Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection which was sadly lacking Sonic CD. I love the old Sonic games (Sonic 2 and 3 are two of my all time favorite games) and really want to try the supposed best of the series.
