Cube Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I'm downloading the trial. I originally just dismissed it as I assumed it would be 1200 points, but 800 points sounds like a good price.
S.C.G Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Personally I think it'll be well worth the 800 points.
Guest Jordan Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 This game is actually pretty massive... I mean theres a tonne of things to do. Just downloaded the trial now, because of lack of points. But, it shall be bought!
Columnar Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 AMAZING... that's the word to describe OutRun. Downloaded it this morning, completed all the courses and had one game online. Any Sega fanboys or people who love arcade thrills should download it straight away.
S.C.G Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 It truly is a quality title and this is now basically the definitive version of it as from what I can tell, it contains all the content from Outrun 2 / '06 plus the graphics have been touched up rather nicely, not to mention the online aspect which I didn't get to play the first time around.
Columnar Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Even though it is brilliant I wouldn't say its the definitive version as this port only contains the 'OutRun 2 SP' tracks and doesn't have the original 15 tracks from 'OutRun 2' which the 2006 console versions did. I hope the original 15 tracks are offered as DLC at some point though!
ShadowV7 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Was about to go "Ah man, that's ages away". But I forgot that this is the 16th
Hero-of-Time Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/marvel-vs-capcom-2/achievements/ AWESOME! *head explodes*
Jimbob Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Down right awesome, just need to beat the original (again) and i'll be all set to go.
Cube Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 http://inside.mygamercard.net/ Achievements for XBLA versions of Altered Beast, Comix Zone and Shinobi.
Mundi Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Virtual-ON and Puzzle Bubble Neo! amongst many things was just confirmed for XBLA, which is nice because I loved the ones I had on the Saturn.
S.C.G Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Just in case this has gone unnoticed the following two arcade games are now available on XBLA... Banjo Tooie 1200 points Virtual ON 1200 points I'm downloading Banjo-Tooie now but I may get Virtual On soon as well because I've never played a game in the series but I've always been tempted by it. *edit* hell yeah! its finished downloading, I don't care that it isn't as good as the original, I'm still going to enjoy it for what it is, a decent platform title with a few issues. :P Edited April 29, 2009 by S.C.G
Twozzok Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Even though it is brilliant I wouldn't say its the definitive version as this port only contains the 'OutRun 2 SP' tracks and doesn't have the original 15 tracks from 'OutRun 2' which the 2006 console versions did.

Goafer Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I'm loving Outrun at the minute. Although the multiplayer does have a few flaws. Firstly it's hard to really make a mistake, which means races tend to me more of a convoy than an actual race, although I do like the "should I or shouldn't I drift?" tactics. Plus the community seems quite mature, I haven't been rammed yet. Secondly, I always seem to end up joining a race in progress. It kind of defeats the point of a "just a quick go" arcade racer if you have to wait for a few minutes for a race to begin. Other than that, I absolutely love it. One of my favourite racers, I always play it in the arcade if I see it. I think I have the top score in the one in Northampton. I liked the demo of Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, but 1200 points is a bit steep. Shame since I love the original. Might dig it out soon.

This allows for gamers to play Sonic 2 & 3 as Knuckles!
Serebii Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Whats the Lock On Bonus Content? If its just playing through them as Knuckles, then the pre-release is wrong as you can do that on Sonic Mega Collection
LegoMan1031 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Whats the Lock On Bonus Content? If its just playing through them as Knuckles, then the pre-release is wrong as you can do that on Sonic Mega Collection Yeah, i suspect they are expecting people to forget about that since they 'missed' it out of the ultimate collection...
Dyson Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Hahaha wow, looks like predictions were correct then, and yet I know I'll buy it anyway
S.C.G Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Haha, I fucking said it would happen as well awesome news but... I guess this means no mega achievements for Sonic 3 & Knuckles :/ just achievements for the seperate games but still, the fact that it's getting released is awesome enough.
Shorty Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 *twitches* goddamnit, scrounging bastards. MMMhmmm... I dug this out recently and completed it on the PC using a controller, so it was essentially the same experience. They'll probably be 800 points each which is a rip for S3&K. Now if they were bothering with updated graphics or something like that, it would be another story. Why can't they take a leaf out of Capcom's book?
S.C.G Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) I have to agree with you there Shorty, as nice as it is to play these classic Sega games again with achievements and online shizzle, it would be so much more of a big deal if they gave the titles a visual overhaul... Liek this... I know it wouldn't affect the gameplay but it'd just make playing the games again feel more superficially awesome. Edited May 13, 2009 by S.C.G
Dyson Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Maaaan I've seen that picture so many times now I'm starting to accept it as the norm It'd be nice but it's not gonna happen.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Sega games are here on Wednesday. Apparently we're in for a real treat this Wednesday. SEGA will be treating us with Altered Beast, (WISE FROM WOUR GRAVE) Comix Zone, Phantasy Star 2, Shinobi Arcade and Sonic 3. Although some of them are available on the Mega Drive Collection. It's good news for people after those titles who don't own the collection. Oh, and of course also being added, Gunstar Heroes(!).
