Well, after the very interesting Sonic Unleashed game, it seems Sega has decided to back track their steps and release retro Sonic games in one package for next generation consoles, PS3 and 360. Here’s the inform, straight from Sega:
SEGA® of America, Inc. has released all new assets of the upcoming game Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection™ for PLAYSTATION® 3 and Xbox 360® video game system!
This week’s blast from the past is Comix Zone and the Golden Axe Series!
Just a few fun facts from these classic titles:
- Comix Zone’s score was composed by Howard Drossin, who previously wrote the music to Sonic The Hedgehogâ„¢ 3 and Sonic & Knucklesâ„¢.
- Golden Axeâ„¢ II was a SEGA Genesisâ„¢ exclusive title and it didn’t originate as an arcade game.
- Golden Axeâ„¢ III was originally released only in Japan. The release on this compilation is the first time it is available in stores in the U.S. and Europe.

Me being an older “oldschool gamer” can’t wait for this title to get launched. There are gonna be around 40 games on the disk. I really want Phantasy Star 4. Since Genesis Cart’s battery is dead and won’t save anymore. Sonic CD is already in my collection but for the sake of not having to bust out my HUGE Genesis/32X/CD combo monster of a system I will be picking this title up day one. Thanks for the post.
