Actually a bunch of Sega Ages ports just got announced, including:
Arcade Shinobi
Wonder Boy in Monster Land
Fantasy Zone
G-Loc
Puzzle & Action: Tant-R
Arcade Shinobi is new to Sega Ages, but the rest have been seen on other collections in the past. But really the big news IMO is the Sega Ages port of Herzog Zwei, the first time this game has been available on modern systems for a long time. This is a pretty significant release for Sega, for a number of historical reasons:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzog_Zwei
Herzog Zwei is largely credited as creating the RTS genre. Created by Technosoft, the company who would later make Thunder Force III and IV, it's a pioneering game in a genre that Sega, over on the PC side of the company, has become synonymous for. Sega has quietly become THE RTS company in gaming, and their purchase of Technosoft's IPs recently has opened the door to this.
Like all Sega Ages releases, this will be handled by M2, so probably lots of goodies included.
Get hyped, this is the first rerelease of this game since 1990!!
