Does M2 ever release on other consoles or just Nintendo ones?

Isn't the Mega Man Legacy Collection supposed to be good?
M2 did a bunch of the latter PSN/XBLA Vintage releases in 2010-2012 such as Streets of Rage Collection, Shinobi, Golden Axe, the Wonder Boy games and Castle of Illusion's Genesis version on PSN.
Weird. Didn't they get a known Sonic modder to make the last retro sonic game which was really good? Why not do the same for the classics?
Ah, I have all of those minus the Wonder Boy ones, and they were fantastic. Hopefully they will do the same again, and not have this be the only Sega collection on the PS4/Xbox.
I remember getting the OG Caatles of Illusion as a preorder bonus for the remaster. I assume they did Sonic and Sonic 2 on there as well that I see?
They did the (Japan only) Salamander compilation on PSP as well, which as far as I've heard is fantastic.
M2 releases on whatever console the publishers want.
The vanilla Sonic 3 isn't there anymore. It was replaced with Sonic 3 and Knuckles as the default game. But I think people did upload separate ROM's for both Sonic 3 and S&K in the Steam workshop.
Yeah, someone mentioned the Sega games I bought for the PS3 were them. Those were well done, and would love them on the PS4 over this collection. Even if pricier in piecemeal. I have no issues paying more for better quality.
Were they any good? Had them on my wishlist for a while, but never pulled the trigger since moving over to the PS4 at it's launch. Only picked up random ones during Plus sales.
To be fair, the main attractions in Gems (CD, Fighters and R) were all ground-up ports. CD's isn't particularly good either, but it was worthwhile as the first time you could buy that game on home consoles since the Sega CD.
But yeah, on the whole the GCN Sonic collections were better than anything after. And I'd argue Mega Collection was already a worse value proposition than Sonic Jam. Now you'll get a disc with some ROMs shit on it and it won't even have Sonic 3 or some bullshit.
Interesting. I was watching the My Life in Gaming video about it and they say the collection is fine, but not as good as the M2 versions which they consider the best.

They were only responsible for the emulation of Sega stuff (Master System, Genesis, Sega's few VC Arcade titles) and MSX on Wii Virtual Console, the NES and SNES emulation was all Nintendo. Nintendo din't contract them for that until Wii U for GBA VC, IIRC.
Haven't noticed any stuttering yet, just a few audio glitches (PS4).
I honestly don't remember off hand, though I believe Sonic 1 & 2 were serviceable at the very least. I only ever had 2 on PS3 because of PS Plus and I didn't really play it much. I do recall hearing that the emulation wrapper used for it doesn't play nice with Sonic 3 & Knuckles' saves, though.
The emulation wasn't that great, but it was serviceable. It had some noticeable input lag on 360.
Ah ok, I will give them a pass then. Been turning the PS3 on less and less. Was mainly for classics when I did.
Thank you.
Yes it is still there.
Furthermore there are Steam workshop stuff that lets you play Sonic 3 Complete among other things.
...I almost bought this.
No Sonic 3 and Knuckles was a heartbreaker, but I could deal. This?
THIS?
This is a dealbreaker of the highest order. This compilation is dead to me. And other overly dramatic quips but I'm damn serious. Putting lag in my shinobi games... somebody over there needs to go screw themselves and the mom they came out of.
I was just about to buy this...fuck.
Wait a minute, these lags and stutters are online only, right?!
Please tell me the SP/Local Multi are flawless.

I was on the fence about that collection because the lack of S3&K. These technical issues saved me from wasting 30 bucks.
Actually the Switch version has a "turbo" mode that pretty much gets rid of all slowdown in the first 6 games. Playing MM3 that way is pretty amazing. Only issue that can be a deal breaker is a slight bit of input lag in the collection (only collection 1, collection 2 which has 7-10 is fine) which doesn't affect me, but I know it'd bother other people.
That and audio popping (which is more audible on certain tunes) is still present on all versions (of collection 1). But for me those are smaller issues, and the games play just as I remember them. Definitely better than what I've seen of the most recent Sega collection.
:(
Really looking forward to this due to Street of Rage, Golden Age, and old Sonic but it's bad, huh.

Can't speak for consoles but on PC I was having fun playing mean bean machine and golden axe online with a friend from the netherlands (I'm in the US) mean bean had the lag spikes which made things kinda bad at times but we still had fun and golden axe actually ran fine. Played Shinobi and didn't experience any of that input lag, there was some audio glitching at most but that's it.
This is my favorite way to play genesis games now and I'm an experienced retroarch user, the kicker being mod support and the inclusion of possible online mod support. Being able to play Sonic 3 Complete online would be a huge game changer for me.

I seriously had to pause the video. I simply could not bear to watch Streets of Rage running in such a fashion. It made my heart hurt.
Wasn't this handled by the company that's handling the Shenmue ports? I guess I should start worrying. I can't imagine porting Shenmue is easier than porting some ancient Genesis games.
Was kinda hoping someone would give a run down on which system has the best emulation.
Beat streets of rage while letting my brother shareplay last night. No slowdown and maybe one audio glitch. Had a great time and we are playing on ps4.
Didn't beat streets of rage 2 but it played great. I really only care about the streets of rage and golden ax series and they all seem to run fine on PS4.
Also the audio glitch we heard might of been in the original sega. We did a two person combo and hit someone very fast and the audio glitches. I could of sworn that used to happen on my old genesis

Jim, a Brit, using the FORBIDDEN name for the console!?
That being said, the thing that bothers me most is that there's no proper pixel scaling mode for if you want to play fullscreen.
