The same goes for Nintendo-aligned Console War veterans, who now, wise beyond their years, look to experience what life was like on the other side of the trenches.<br /><br />The <em>Genesis Classics Collection 5</em> boasts 10 games for $7.99, or $2.99 a piece if you'd rather go a la carte. Amongst the recommissioned relics from yesteryear are Phantasy Stars <i>II</i> through <i>IV,</i> <em>Wonder Boy in Monster World</em>, <em>Vectorman 2</em>, and <em>Beyond Oasis.</em> Jump <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/03/steam-adds-genesis-classics-collection-5-beyond-oasis-phantasy/#continued">past the break</a> for the full list, which also includes <em>Dynamite Headdy</em>, one of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x01qwb2pwTY">best, weirdest</a> games ever made for Sega's classic warhorse.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/03/steam-adds-genesis-classics-collection-5-beyond-oasis-phantasy/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Steam adds Genesis Classics Collection 5: Beyond Oasis, Phantasy Star 2 and more</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/03/steam-adds-genesis-classics-collection-5-beyond-oasis-phantasy/">Steam adds Genesis Classics Collection 5: Beyond Oasis, Phantasy Star 2 and more</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 03 May 2012 17:15:00 EST.

This is slightly confusing, but also awesome. We recently found an <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/31/segas-monster-world-4-coming-to-xbla-psn-and-not-virtual-cons/">ESRB rating</a> for the previously unlocalized Mega Drive/Genesis game <em>Monster World IV</em>, for release on XBLA and PSN. Today, Sega of Europe confirmed that it's bringing the game over -- but on PSN and Wii Virtual Console, as part of a new "Vintage Collection" being released late this year and early next year.<br />
<br />
The collection also includes <em>Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Revenge of Shinobi, Alex Kidd in Miracle World</em>, and <em>Wonder Boy in Monster World</em>, all of which have already been released on Virtual Console in North America. <em>Super Hang-On </em>is in there too, and has not been released on Nintendo's download service. None of these were already on PSN.<br />
<br />
<em>Monster World IV</em> is arguably the star of the collection, because it's never had an official console release outside of Japan -- and Sega is actually <em>localizing it</em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/12/monster-world-iv-leads-newest-psn-virtual-console-seg/">Localized Monster World IV leads newest PSN/Virtual Console 'Sega Vintage Collection'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 12 May 2011 12:30:00 EST.
