Happier and happier I ordered both the JP and EU versions. Replacement western games are good.
Hopefully we get MUSHA in the west. The lineup announced though does include a lot of what could be considered the top games from the system in the US though.
It might still be there. I am a little worried we will miss out on it too but that does seem more appropriate to reveal as one of the final games in the west IMO.
Shinobi III too but I think they'll get Super Shinobi II in Japan.
Revenge of Shinobi/Super Shinobi needs to be on this but I understand if it isn't.
Love the positive attitudes! We can all hope it is eventually on the list. Glad I picked it up on Wii prior to the store closing at least.
That's a great list! Thanks for sharing.
This is already an insanely cool compilation, and there's still twenty more games to announce! Way to go Sega!
Hooooooooooooollly crap! This thing is ALL MEAT, NO FILLER! Both of the Mickey games, say whaaaat? And of course, so awesome to see Contra Hard Corps, Landstalker, Thunder Force III, etc., all confirmed for the US. Shinobi 3, aaah yes. God damn....this thing is godly.

When this was first announced, I was like 'who cares, it'll just be the same games as the Genesis comp'.
I was so, so wrong. Well done, Sega, can't wait for the other games!
I hope we get Sonic & Knuckles with the lock-on content. By the way, what are the current ways we can play the S&K content, other than the original carts?

But yeah, losing MUSHA is tough...though as some folks say, there's still a chance that it'll show up on the Western list later on.
As far as I know the PC version is the only one that works with lock on ability (maybe the 360 versions as well but don't quote me on it). Sonics Ultimate Genesis collection has the two games but no lock on capabilities. If you have them on Wii you can virtually lock 2 and 3 on to Knuckles for all of the added content.
This would be the biggest announcement to make and certainly would be saved for prior to E3. With the Disney licenses in tow, I hope this can happen too.
Sonic Jam on Saturn. Sonic Mega Collection on GCN/PS2/Xbox. Wii Virtual Console. Sonic 3 Sega Vintage Collection on 360/Xbone. Sonic 3 on PC.
360 version (available BC on Xbox One) does also support the lock on.
My advice would be Sonic 3 AIR, which works with the Steam version.
If i remember correctly Sonic Collection on GCN is the only version to include Sonic CD. It might be the best Sonic Collection to date.
Oh thank god! I just saw the US list then looked at the western list in the OP and got worried.
It has the same games as the Genesis list but here is the site for the UK/EU Mega Drive http://megadrivemini.sega.com/
Thanks for the quick replies everyone! I recently got the Sonic Collection for GCN, so that'll be my backup in case this doesn't include it. Though I'd be shocked if M2 overlooked something like that.
Yeah, that was on the second GCN comp, Sonic Gems Collection. IIRC it's the only bright spot on that collection.
Sonic Mega Collection doesn't include Sonic CD (it was the first to include the original Toei Animation cutscenes from Sonic CD though).
Sonic Gems Collection on GCN/PS2 DOES include Sonic CD however.
They are killing it with these games so far. Hopefully they have some great surprises left. Give me Pirates! Gold, Jurassic Park, Lion King, and Aladdin!
The Genesis was the only mainstream console I never had, and I was in particular envious of my friend who got to play Landstalker - so excited for this.
A pretty bad port though :/
EU Mega Drive logo is the GOAT.
Hopefully the inclusion of the Mickey Illusion games means that QuackShot will be in as well.
So they actually broke their "only one game per series" rule but just for Mickey games? I wonder why.
Eh. I'd wager Sega wants people to keep buying TFIV on Switch.
They did it for sonic as well (at least in the west). I assume once they got permission to use the licenses they went whole hog on adding the Disney games. I expect more with future announcements.
Although true, they are releasing the arcade version of 3 on switch at some point. I'm not sure if there are significant differences though.
Wow. Sega did publish Aladdin for the Genesis. I'd say it's a high likelyhood now that it will make this list.
Landstalker, Sonic 2, SOR2 and Shinobi III are all expected. These ones have appeared in previous Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive collections. I'm surprised they got Earthworm Jim 1 for the compilation. Also, Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion show that they have Disney on board. Which is another win. Plus more Konami games. This collection is looking really good so far.
Did they really have that rule? US/EU is already getting two Sonics
