I have one question- WHY ARE YOU RELEASING SONIC 3 AND KNUCKLES AS SEPERATE GAMES? Everyone knows that Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles are one sigle game- the best Sonic game of all time. Seperate- its just 2 damn demo versions.

If you buy them both you can use the Lock on Feature.

Doesn't everyone that wants to play these STILL own them? I still have me ol' sonic games and comix zone, plus numerous others. I mean do people want the joy of experiencing these with an Xbox/PS controller? Cause that ain't no joy.

Nothing new really, all of these games were on the Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection. Would be nice to see some Zombies Ate My Neighbors! and Earthworm Jim though.

Gunstar Heroes is the shit, but there are still a couple of turds in this clip. Altered Beast and Shinobi Arcade are ass games. The Sonics are fine, and so are the Phantasy Stars (even if #2 is a mind numbing grindfest), but Sega should really leave some of those bad games under the rock where they belong.

Gunstar Heroes is one of my favourite games of all time! I can't wait to be able to play it again.

They could have shown a bit more of Phantasy Star 2 than walking-around-in-town mode :P  Battles, maybe?  Characters becoming part of the team, different environments...

All of these games are well and good, but when are they gonna get around to re-releasing SONIC CD? I mean really?!? Why haven't they done this? The music was the best, the levels were great with the whole time travel aspect...and....well....it's awesome! It's my favorite Sonic title. I'd like to play it again on my TV, emulation stinks.

All of these games except Gunstar Heroes are on the Ultimate Genesis Collection, though sonic n knuckles does not lock on with sonic 2 or 3.  eithor way, if you have the collection, get Gunstar Heroes only.

Hell, the collection has both altered beast genesis and arcade

Aren't all of these already on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection? Stop double dipping on everything Sega, and just make Sonic 4 already. Not stupid gimmicks, no new characters, just give us classic side scrolling Sonic. Do the same thing they did with Mega Man 9.

Oh man, so much of my life was wasted playing Gunstar Heroes. Lightning + Seeker = fucking ownage. Also Altered Beast, although something about the art style freaked me out.

Good times, good times.

I remember Comix zone.
It was awesome, but hard as hell. Also, a little unfair from time to time.

Not to be a hater, but so many of these games do not age well.

I remember being psyched for DOUBLE DRAGON, downloaded the demo and hated it within about 2 minutes.

But the idea of getting SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND or any of those wonderful Lucasarts games is pretty epic.
