    Why oh why

    • Lawyers, probably. These things come and go. I bought the collection recently and didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Better to set up your own emulator anyway, the button setups on some of those old games is really rough.

    Don't be a clown. Buy physical games.

  • I have shining force and shining force 2, thats all i need.

    • I finished shining force 2 as a 9 year old and till this day I still think it was perfection.

  • Sega wants to become a media giant, which probably means rethinking how they distribute their ip. The Sonic movies made good money didn't they, just as much as the Mario movie.

    • Nah not quite. Two Sonic movies made just over $700m worldwide. Mario made over $1.3b worldwide with just one movie.
