SEGA has strapped on its retro boots and unwrapped the first details on its long rumoured Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection pack for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Due out in early 2009, the compilation features some of the 16-bit consoles most celebrated classics, including Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Streets of Rage, Ecco the Dolphin, in addition to a couple of top picks from the Sega Master System and Arcade platforms.
Gary Knight, European Marketing Director for Sega Europe, commented, "Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is a must-have for any Sega enthusiast,” adding, "Fans will get a chance to relive fond memories from these classic games in HD format."
Pricing details have yet to be confirmed, but we're hoping the publisher will see fit to slap an attractive budget price on the package.

Wow. I'm interested in this! Memories. I wish they could have posted the whole list. I'm looking for Space Harrier, After Burner, Herzog Zwei (look that one up!), Shadow Dancer (and any other Shinobi game), plus so much more. Time to deliver Sega...

considering you could fit rom rips of the complete back catalogue of every single megadrive game onto a single dvd, I don't see why it shouldn't be a 100% complete set. it's not like they could make any money of them any other way, unless they want to make them all individually available on psn and xbl maybe?

How is this news? Sega releases a "Mega Collection" every other week !! lol..now if they added trophies that could be interesting, otherwise I still have my copy of mega collection on my PS2
Edit - With the size of Blu-rays now they could fit their entire catalogue onto one

yep already got this for the PSP....its called sega collection. awesome psp title! they added a few more to this version but with the blu ray capacity i was hoping for a complete sega collection of all sega games. Its a shame it will only need half a gig on a 50 gig disc for all these games.

If you guys just want to play sonic, why don't you just buy the sonic collection that came out on the ps2 a couple of years ago?

I often wonder why this console was not named "Sega Genesis" world wide? And where is "Revenge Of Shinobi? This was the best Shinobi game they had.

Be nice if they would put all the Sega CD and 32x games out, on a couple Blu-Ray discs. I miss Batman Returns,Spiderman, Loadstar and Dracula. I can't find those on emulators and the CD images are each 700mb too much to DL all of them.
