SHHH!!!! You hear that? I think it was Pixy's head exploding with the promise of shitty graphics filtering for the HD era.

This sounds good to me. All of those PLUS unlockable arcade games? Damn.

Shit, Streets of Rage 1-3 is worth $30 alone

I wonder how pissed off Nintendo is about this with a large number of those on VC already. I guess they don't really care as it isn't coming out for Wii anyway. Maybe that's why it isn't coming out for the Wii...

The XBLA versions at least offer something additional to these emulations, but I guess there's a possibility of annoyance there too.

Technically the XBLA renditions of some of those games are in 720p, ugggh. $30 tho.. price is right.

I would kill for some Bionic Commando: Rearmed style remakes of those games. Especially the sonic titles.

Hell, I have already spent 20 bucks on the two Sonic games, Streets of Rage, and Golden Axe that are all on XBLA.

Great deal though. Wish I had waited now as only Streets really got much love.

Some missing titles off the top of my head: Revenge of Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, Toe Jam & Earl 1 & 2. Hopefully some of arcade games will include Virtua Racing and Afterburner among others.

"price is right" indeed. I already have the sonics from sonic mega collection +, but this trumps that bigtime.

Well in the Wii's favor it does pretty much perfect emulation. I'm doubting that will be the case here. I already have most of these on one compilation disc or another so I'm passing. I would rather pay the 800 points for the games I do want and play them with the Wii emulation.

I second that - Herzog was one of the best games for that system, and made me buy a Genesis back in 1990!

Nice price for all those. I'm definitely tempted.
