They used to be better, until they removed the manual. Now there is no reason to buy physical, unless it's delisted from digital stores or if they are doing a collecters edition. I stopped buying physical during the ps4/xbox one era cuz I don't want my house looking like a museum.
It's the exact same thing. If you bought already, you'll still have it. The different is that physical you have a piece of plastic taking space in your house and if you don't store with care, it can get damaged and not work anymore.
Makes no sense that they would delist most of their classics, especially after last year with their announcement of Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, n other 3 classics returning. Plus with Virtual Fighter 6 basically being confirmed at this point, weird Sega would just delist their classics like that. Unless their planning an ultimate Sega collection or remakes later, still wild they do this out of the blue
I'm just worried it's going to be some lame $10 a month subscription where you just rent games. I'd rather them focus on relicensing their old licensed games like X-Men than throwing up some lame rental program.
I think, at least for de dreamcast collection, 11 month ago sega published a trailer that they were working on a new or remake of jet set radio, crazy taxi and other games, that are in this collections
I have hafve had the physical version of Sega Mega Drive Classics on PS4 for the last few years. I have literally just ordered the physical version of Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection on PS3, so I am sorted. This right here is why I hate digital. I will always buy physical when it's available.
@@MrSkullMerchantThere are differences between the two. A few different games included between each. Plus Sonic 3 is included WITH the original soundtrack is huge. You can’t get the game with the OG soundtrack after PS3/Xbox 360.
One thing that I'm still wondering is that the only affected platforms are Steam, Xbox 360/One, Switch and PS4 only, no mention to the PS3 console. Still I will keep my watch on December 7th and check if the PS3 version of the classic Sega games are still available on the PS Store. Oh and just in case if anyone is wondering what old Sega games were released on PS3, they are: Global: Sonic Adventure (plus DX expansion) Sonic CD Gunstar Heroes Street of Rage 2 Golden Axe Comix Zone Altered Beast Space Channel 5 Part 2 Sega Bass Fishing Wonder Boy in Monster World Wonder Boy in Monster Land The Revenge of Shinobi Super Hang-On Monster World IV Alex Kidd in Miracle World ToeJam and Earl in Panic on Funkotron ToeJam and Earl Virtua Fighter 2 Sonic the Fighters Fighting Vipers House of the Dead III Sonic Adventure 2 (plus Battle expansion) Jet Set Radio Crazy Taxi NIGHTS Into Dreams... Japan only: Cyber Troopers Virtual On Virtua Striker Released before but now de-listed: Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Daytona USA
@@Totavier Today I bought the Toejam & Earl bundle with panic in funkotron sonic adventure digitally, sonic mega drive classics collection ps3 physical and a original sonic 3 cartridge so I'm set
You can't even buy anything on PS Store for PS3 anymore either. You can only access the PS3 Store to only re-download the games you already bought. So if you bought those Sega games before then you could still download those on PS3, if not you can't even buy those anymore.
Yes, businesses wanting to sell their own products is "shady" Anybody would think businesses existed to try and make money from providing goods and services! 🙄 Having physical media is irrelevant, had you actually listened, it was made clear that people who have already paid for digital copies of those games won't be affected. What Sega do with their own property and products is up to them. Just like individual people, businesses need to earn money to survive, the best way they can.
They delist Sonic 1, 2 , CD and 3k when they release Sonic Origin (Plus) They delist Sonic Generation when they release Sonic X Shadow Generation And I'm pretty sure that they would do the same to Sonic Colors when they release Sonic Colors Ultimate if Sonic Colors was on Steam They most likely planning somthing
There better be comprehensive Sega Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast collections released to make up for this. Cause otherwise, this is just completely unacceptable
You seem to think that companies like Sega have some kind of obligation to always have their products available for you to buy, that you are somehow entitled to access them... but they don't and you aren't. If you already own the game, nothing changes. If you don't own any of these games, then you can buy the ones you want before the deadline. But you don't get to decide what others do with their own property, anymore than I have the right to control what you do with your property. Your sense of entitlement is both unfounded and unacceptable.
@ I seem to think it because I fully and 100% believe in it. Sega ABSOLUTELY has an obligation to always have their products available for people to buy. They were available before, why can’t they be available now? It’s not a sense of entitlement to wanna keep being allowed to purchase NiGHTS or Crazy Taxi. That is a genuinely insane take to have
@another3997 uh yeah, I believe that the importance of art preservation trumps the entitlement a corporation has to controlling intellectual property. I DO believe people are entitled to legally access important pieces of gaming history and art history generally. I DO NOT believe that corporations are so entitled to maximizing their own profits that they can actively make history more inaccessible.
Sega randomly just added 3 games to the Switch Online Genesis expansion (Vectorman, ToeJam and Earl 2, and MERCS) Like, that's cool.. but hardly makes up for losing 60 classics, all of which we want to play much more than those 3 new Switch additions.. lol
Yeap and two of those were from the Sega Genesis Collection too. Losing over 50 Sega Genesis games but there are only 47 Sega Genesis games on NSO. This looks like a bad deal already. At least the Sega Ages games are still available but I suspect those could be delisted too if Sega had their way with this.
Maybe Sega is making a new console that plays these games and more? Idk one can dream though, right? I hope that’s the case. I’d buy it asap! I’m a huge sega fan! :)
@ same here! I also have a snes and nes classic! :) I hope Sega comes out with a Dreamcast mini! A friend gave me a few years ago an actual Dreamcast but it would be cool if sega did that still. I’d buy it lol :) Never got into Sega Saturn but hopefully someday they’ll make a mini of that too.
@ my only other guess in why they are taking away their digital releases of classic games is that I hope Sega is partnering with Blaze for their evercade products. Now that would be cool!!! :)
I'm sure others have mentioned this but something to keep in mind with the Genesis collection is that on Switch the collection has HORRIBLE input lag. Its very noticeable, even to the uninitiated.
@@54356776 He meant the Sega Genesis collection but that issue had been fix ages ago. Not sure why people still point that out. The collection is on ver 1.0.2 now, the input lags only happen on ver 1.0.0. Also the lag was on al platform, not just the Switch, even the PSP, PS2, Xbox 360 and PS3 collections all had lags yet people never reported about those.
6:11 Unfortunately 4 games are not included in the console version and are only on the PC version, the Ecco the Dolphin trilogy and Eternal Champions. Also, the Switch version doesn't have the 2 Wonder Boy games.
Strange🤔, literally taking away a method for players to give Sega money. I hope it's for a good reason. Glad Guardian Heroes became part of Xbox years back, everyone should have the ability to buy that game👌.
because Sega hates all of us. Anytime the fans speak out, they do the exact opposite. We should just blast on social media that we DON'T want things like Shenmue 4, or more Panzer Dragoon.. then, and only then, will such games actually come into existence lol
Yet another reason why we need to support physical games and local game stores games. They are getting removed left or right and we're losing access to classic games. Remasters tend to alter and change content for modern sensitive audiences and rewrite history. We need to always have access to the originals.
Modern sensitive audiences? Bro, America has always done that. This is not new. 4Kids censored Sonic X for American kids. None of this is new. The Japanese versions of games are the ones that are uncensored.
My assumption is that they’ve got a bunch of fresh collections coming out. If I had to hazard a guess, a revamped Classics Collection (Genesis/Sega CD) Saturn collection (because a lot of Saturn games have recently been added to many storefronts) and Dreamcast Collection (new rights trading) Just in case I bought an extra copy of Genesis and Dreamcast collection. Even though I’ll probably never play Bass Fishing 🤣 EDIT - I really hope they do a Fighters Megamix collection of some kind. It’d be great to have VF, Fighting Vipers, Sonic Fighters and Daytona all in one place, with Megamix as a solid fifth option to cap it. But that’s just me dreaming wild.
that's honestly something I wanna know too, I can understand for the New Games for certain titles because they got embolden by Sonic Origins & Generations, oh dear, but all of these, just what are they up to, hopefully it's a new Collection or something because that's completely disappointing, but it's SEGA, so how am I not surprised
I hope they do another compilation for ps5/xbox series. The ps3/360 had the best collection/versions of the games. :) when they delisted soul reaver 1 on steam, it was to make room for the remasters that's coming out in 9 days so, hopefully we get another collection for current gen, with more games and also a rerelease/remasters of sonic adventure 1 and 2. :)
Sometimes delisting is due to a new complication release. Wouldn’t it be insane if Sega plans to release a new console with a subscription service and or digital store?! Ooooh ahhhhh
SEGA needs to work with Digital Eclipse & put out something in the same vein as "Atari 50". SEGA has such a vast library & many of there arcade games (& some console games) could stand to be remastered & re-released on modern consoles along with some history behind the people involved in making them. With any luck SEGA is already working on something like that & that's why these current games are getting delisted.
Digital eclipse??🤢🤢🤢 Brother those are the last developers you would ever wanna work with for a classic game collection. Their work on the street fighter 30th anniversary collection was garbage
@@Sin_Doog Yeap just get them for the Capcom Arcade Stadium and Capcom Fighting Collection instead. Capcom Fighting Collection 3 may likely include the Street Fighter EX and Street Fighter III games maybe.
@Sin_Doog it's basically the same shit as the 15th anniversary collection, but with more games. I swear people hate on that collection just to bandwagon. Oh.. but the input la... eh shut up, it was there in the 15th anniversary and no one said shit then.
@@VOANthey are not releasing street fighter three again. Why do people want to waste a spot on a new collection to get a game we already have. That's such a waste.
Sure a "frequently asked question" section, with none of the most frequently asked questions answered. Like: why are the games being delisted? will they come back in some other form? when are they coming back?
Could be because there's a new mini in the pipeline. It could also mean they've realised that most people are fed up with the same games floating around and have already bought them and maybe they're not selling much these days. Who knows for sure at this point. Never underestimate though the out of control copyright laws in force these days as the slightest contest from anyone who has worked on a game or movie ever can claim they're not being reimbursed properly and a title could become unavailable as a result.
I actually started to collect all those XBLA physical collections in the last year. I managed to get Namco museum virtual arcade, Capcom Digital Collection and Dreamcast Collection because majority of those games are delisted and have backwards compatibility. The best part about the Dreamcast Collection on 360 is the games are backwards compatible with series x but the problem with it is not all the games getting installed on the console.
The thing about that crazy Steam list is that if I’m not mistaken, you had the option to buy individual games, aside from the whole Collection, so I guess they have to list them individually for that reason.
If Sega is doing this to force us to buy the games all over again in a new collection then I hope they do it like Sonic Origins and make them all widescreen.
Likely they are planning to re-release another Sega Genesis collection this time for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch 2. Sega is known for doing this every gen/era. Sega 6-Pak for Sega Genesis = 16- Bit era (Sega Genesis, Super NES, Turbo Grafx-16, NeoGeo) Sega Classics Collection for Sega CD = 32-Bit / 64-Bit era (Sega CD, Sega Saturn, PS1, Atari Jaguar, 3DO, N64) Sega Smash Pack Vol. 1 for Sega Dreamcast and GBA = 128-Bit era (Sega Dreamcast) Sega Genesis Collection for PS2 and PSP = SD era (PS2, PSP, GameCube, Xbox, Wii) Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for PS3 and Xbox 360 = HD era (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U) Sega Genesis Classics Collection for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch = 4K era (PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch)
i dont have steam and i got all those games on xbox so this isn't really a problem for me personally i just hope they bring all those games back in a collection or something especially jet set radio idk why but i missed out on that for the xbox 360 for whatever reason i got the trial though so better then nothing i guess Sega really needs to give crazy taxi and jet set radio some more love.
There is a positive... the only reason Sega is delisting most (most, not all) of these games is we're getting a re-release. I would bet almost anything I own on it. Addendum- I own physical of all of it.
And this is why I buy physical games. If the delisted games had a physical release too, I can still find and get that game anytime in the future. And I really hope the next gen consoles will still have a disc edition, and the Switch 2 will still use cartridges. I like having a physical collection.
They really need to make an updated next gen game gear style handheld with hdmi out that will play all of their classic games. Handhelds are crazy popular.
So all it is sega is taking down their digital store games to buy...not a problem really if you have already bought them or got the collection on a physical disc. Looks like prices are going to sky rocket then for physical games. Delisting sega games....... sega might be doing their own sega game app or could we be getting a new console.....i wish.
Sega delisting over 60 classic games from virtual stores, including Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi. Best guess, they are going to announce a new collection at The Game Awards and can't have the cheaper versions cannibalizing sales. This same thing happened when the Atari 50th collection came out a couple years ago. The previous digital package of old Atari games got delisted around the same time 50th released. This is the exact thing already done by Sega with Sonic Origins, all the games that are part of Sonic Origins were originally sold separately at $4.99 per (and Sonic CD was even the Christian Whitehead remake) and often went to $1.24 on sale so the full collection was about $20 or $5 on sale. Sonic Origins release had the old games removed from steam, launched at $39.99, later went down to $29.99(with a $10 expansion pass dlc which from what i can tell wasn't given to the people that paid launch price). The sale price is also higher with the average(post price cut) being $16.99 and the lowest being $11.99.
Normally, SEGA will begin to delist titles due to mainly two reasons. Licensing deals ending or a new product coming to market too. An infamous example of a SEGA title's licencing deal leading to a delist is Alpha Protocol, a title developed by Obsidian (Fallout New Vagas), and was taken off market eventually due to music issues, however those issues were resolved and is back on market recently. The only game here that MIGHT be an issue with is Jet Set Radio since it has some licence music in there, but the fact its been on market for ages is the headscratcher. It could also be a license issue with the engine they used? There's also the other possibility, and that's something that is happening with the titles. I believe there was a trademark made alongside the recent announcement of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. called "Retro Memory" which might be a upcoming line-up of classic game releases under a new catalogue brand, like how we had the "Vintage" collections on Xbox 360 or SEGA AGES on Sega Saturn, PS2 and Nintendo Switch. I wouldn't want to get negative about this yet, as i do feel SEGA will soon eventually release these titles again. In what form? That's what we need to find out.
The real downer is that they didn't bring out an alternative collection before getting rid of this older one. Instead they delist and then had us hope for a better one.
Good thing I have the Sega Genesis Classics Collection already bought digitally on PS4. And a few of those others on Xbox. And I bought the collection physically on the PS4 for my cousin.
Sega: "How can we make more money?" Sega: "Take down all our existing collections and repackage them into a subscription service!" It's going to happen. You know it is.
Glad I saw this! I have it physically on ps4 but not on xbox one so I've grabbed it digitally as it's on sale for £4.99 and I had enough credit to make it free :)
This is Sega. I have a feeling they about to release another collection of these exact same games sometime next year, in lead up to their new projects. They always releasing these games every 10 years. When it comes to these kind of releases, they second only to Capcom who constantly re releases their arcade games over multiple collections IN THE SAME GENERATION!
Because the amount of people playing them does not cover the cost of hosting them. I would suggest if you love these games so much that you go out and buy the actual cartridges and something to play them on . That way, no one can take anything from you
How it would be any different if they were based on physical media? A company stopping making a product and withdrawing it from sale online is no different than if they withdraw a physical product from store shelves. The end result is the same. It's their product, their property, and they get to decide what to do with it. As a consumer, you don't "own" the software itself, you own a licence to USE that software, and that licence has terms and conditions that apply to you and them. It makes very little difference how the product is distributed. Just because you think something is a bad idea, doesn't mean you're right.
The input latency on the Sega Genesis Classics Collection is pretty dire, especially on Switch. So really the only use of the collection is just simply for having it. Definitely not the way I prefer to play. But for those that it's legal ownership or nothing (couldn't care less myself), removing them is just such an anti-consumer move.
Why? few reasons 1.a middle finger to the consumer 2. so they can later re sell you this at jacked price and a lot of the time be a worse version of the gamer 3. its related to 2 in way re releasing them and censoring the games and changing them for a """""""""modern audience""""""""" (btw componies and corporse there nothing like modern audience its just the audience). Also buy not making the og version not available they can force the straw man argument of "this is how it always" and new people dont have way to compare with the original game
Obviously the best case scenario here is that they're getting rid of redundancies for things yet to be announced, and Sega does have the accrued good will to give them the benefit of the doubt on that point...but man, is this a terrible look in the moment.
I don't see why it's that big of a deal. Those who want the games, you should already have them. They've been around forever so if you don't have them by now, it's your own fault. I don't understand the shock. Second, I would think it has to do with "Shelf Space". You Tube content creators should understand this aspect, I think, about as well as game content creators and the business side of things, otherwise, why would the established society be begging for LIKES, COMMENTS (they really aren't going to read pretending for interest), and SUBSCRIPTIONS ("I don't like subscription services." I think you do, you just don't know it.") Because it keeps you relevant and on the front page in a really deep pool of content where everyone is doing the same thing but just trying to get their piece of the pie. ITS BUSINESS. ITS MONEY. SEGA isn't on the front pages of services to sell their content unless they're willing to pay the marketing dollars to do it. I would also imagine it costs money to keep things on that storefront. If the interest isn't there and people aren't buying, you're losing money. You have to have new content at the forefront to stay relevant and make money or you're going to get buried by everyone whose doing the same thing you are, making cheap games that don't utilize the tech to make a quick buck. YES! You bought a PS5 (A Ferrari, but under the hood you've got a Ford Focus engine) that isn't being used or demanding current gen tech and games..... So why did you buy it? I bought a PS5 for new game experiences and I'm denied that because the vast majority just wants to buy remakes, remasters, and re-releases. What gamer suffers? My kind does. When everyone's content living in the past and paying (now) $700 for a mid-gen refresh to play everything they've already played before, why did you just not keep your old hardware? Why did you trade up? My kind of Gamers, are losing interest in gaming and gaming could lose that crowd altogether and see a massive sales slump. We hung on to all our old games, so we're good. Whenever we want to play them, we don't have to scramble to find it and hope we can pull it off, we go into our game room, pull off the shelf, drop the cartridge in and off we go. All the minimalists living their lifestyle for no reason other than just because it's the current trend, now they're scrambling to get their DVDs and blurays back because they've learned they've just been had, the rest of us were way ahead. We learned from the past (history, which I had a middle school age kid ask me why we had to learn history. Most people reference World War II and the Civil War as prime examples, but history is much broader than that. It's learning from history within our own interests. Why we don't trade off everything we have to be on the cutting edge for a little while. Those games will be on the market for five years, you can acquire that over five years and when the price drops when that's obsolete and hang onto what you have until your disposable income comes along, then upgrade. You dont have to be on the cutting edge all the time. In the PS3 era, I always had something to play and was caught up. Today, I've learned just how incredibly patient I can be for a good deal and save a ton of money. And it's great.) but we're ahead of the curve. But, again, the problem is, because y'all are buying the same gaming experiences over and over, is it no wonder Sonys first-party development team are kicking back five years in with nothing to show for it? You obviously like The Last of Us, you've bought it three times over. You know Naughty Dog's talent but they've just been sitting around for five years with nothing to show, and when they do it, you're another year or two out, by then the PS6 is here and you're buying another console for another wave of remasters, why??? Because we've put up with it. This issue doesn't bother me, I've been prepared for it since 1992. I've learned not to trade off my games and when everyone comes along to start taking away your digital purchases, I have backups STILL SEALED. Gamers have learned from history (Panzer Dragoon Saga that set the eBay precedent and was the most expensive game of its era and pioneered over priced video games. My brother got his copy for $40 when the Saturn was on its way out. I couldn't afford it as a kid and got it in my late 20's for the, then, crazy price of $300. I'm glad I did because today it would cost me 3x that). SEGA is making a business decision, the same way a TH-camr would. To feed the algorithm, you need something new. Get rid of the old so you don't have to pay the storefront cost for shelf space buried beneath the over flooded competition (we should have learned from the Atari 2600 and discriminate, pick and choose quality titles-which at one time did work that way, Nintendo and SEGA had a seal of quality, which was B.S. marketing but it was because they learned what happened to Atari and didn't allow anything, you had to prove yourself) but we've let that slip away today as well. I, personally, think that's why SEGA is doing it, it's all about and always has been about $$$$$$$. Return on investment
I'm guessing that they're going to pimp off their game collection to one or more sub service, so the only way you could play some of these games legally ever again (if you don't already have a copy) is to sign up for one of those services
Sega is planning to resell these in another bundle or "Specific" types of bundles. Sega for the past decade has been bringing back their old IPs with either remakes/remasters/new titles that capture the essence of those old games. Look at the Wonderboy series which had so many remakes/remasters/ports and a new successor game from 2012 on xbox 360 to a bunch of remakes in 2017, new successor game in 2018 and another remake around the 2020s. Alex Kidd Miracle World got a cute lovely remaster. Sonic the fighters got a HD remaster on Xbox and Playstation 4 also the fanbase has done a PC port. Sega showed off a big promo video this year promising Jet set radio, golden axe, crazy taxi n others especially when Jet set radio fans got so pissed off at sega that they, including the composer went and made Bombrush Cyberfunk. Sonic Mania, pffft come on man I don't need to explain more yo, it sold insane numbers man and sega still showed their respect to the fans by letting them make a love letter to the old games which you can bet makes sega wanna invest more into their old stuff including the awesome Shadow X Sonic Gen game recently came out
Just rely on the game discs, they can't take that away from you or make your own comp with your own game discs or play Yakuza games to play the old classics!
I think they are ready for their own subscription services. Sega might stop the Sega services online on Switch pretty soon. So if you guys have all these on physical, congratulation.
This is the reason why physical games are better instead of shitty digital games.
Yes exactly, that pretty much why all my retro game console are hacked to play games from a sd card :).
So far with Steam at least I haven't lost access to a single game I have purchased in like 20 years...
They used to be better, until they removed the manual. Now there is no reason to buy physical, unless it's delisted from digital stores or if they are doing a collecters edition. I stopped buying physical during the ps4/xbox one era cuz I don't want my house looking like a museum.

You can't even buy anything on PS Store for PS3 anymore either. You can only access the PS3 Store to only re-download the games you already bought. So if you bought those Sega games before then you could still download those on PS3, if not you can't even buy those anymore.
@@VOAN not true I bought some games 2 days ago
@@VOAN Nope you can add funds on ps4, ps5, and the ps app on mobile which can then be used to buy games on PS3 and PS Vita.
I expect it's because PS3 versions are only for PS3. A new collection will probably be on the platforms the current games are being removed from.
Another reason why physical is king. I bet they wanna resell those games AGAIN soon. Shady Sega.
Yes, businesses wanting to sell their own products is "shady" Anybody would think businesses existed to try and make money from providing goods and services! 🙄 Having physical media is irrelevant, had you actually listened, it was made clear that people who have already paid for digital copies of those games won't be affected. What Sega do with their own property and products is up to them. Just like individual people, businesses need to earn money to survive, the best way they can.

They delist Sonic Generation when they release Sonic X Shadow Generation
And I'm pretty sure that they would do the same to Sonic Colors when they release Sonic Colors Ultimate if Sonic Colors was on Steam
They most likely planning somthing
They included the original generations in the Sonic Legacy Collection though which is good.
Maybe a new classic collection
That’s what I’m thinking they’re planning on doing too
I'm pretty sure it's gonna be that.
SEGA has an annoying obsession with delisting and re-releasing.
Because they know piracy is at an all time high and the titles they delisted are being used in retro emulation.
There better be comprehensive Sega Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast collections released to make up for this. Cause otherwise, this is just completely unacceptable
You seem to think that companies like Sega have some kind of obligation to always have their products available for you to buy, that you are somehow entitled to access them... but they don't and you aren't. If you already own the game, nothing changes. If you don't own any of these games, then you can buy the ones you want before the deadline. But you don't get to decide what others do with their own property, anymore than I have the right to control what you do with your property. Your sense of entitlement is both unfounded and unacceptable.
@ I seem to think it because I fully and 100% believe in it. Sega ABSOLUTELY has an obligation to always have their products available for people to buy. They were available before, why can’t they be available now? It’s not a sense of entitlement to wanna keep being allowed to purchase NiGHTS or Crazy Taxi. That is a genuinely insane take to have
@another3997 uh yeah, I believe that the importance of art preservation trumps the entitlement a corporation has to controlling intellectual property. I DO believe people are entitled to legally access important pieces of gaming history and art history generally. I DO NOT believe that corporations are so entitled to maximizing their own profits that they can actively make history more inaccessible.
they are trying to promote emulation and suggesting that people dont buy their old catalog titles anymore...
Sega randomly just added 3 games to the Switch Online Genesis expansion (Vectorman, ToeJam and Earl 2, and MERCS)
Like, that's cool.. but hardly makes up for losing 60 classics, all of which we want to play much more than those 3 new Switch additions.. lol
Yeap and two of those were from the Sega Genesis Collection too. Losing over 50 Sega Genesis games but there are only 47 Sega Genesis games on NSO. This looks like a bad deal already. At least the Sega Ages games are still available but I suspect those could be delisted too if Sega had their way with this.
Maybe Sega is making a new console that plays these games and more? Idk one can dream though, right? I hope that’s the case. I’d buy it asap! I’m a huge sega fan! :)
@@marygoglia I got my sega genesis mini from 2018. It’s still amazing.
@ same here! Mini 1 is epic! :D I missed out on the mini 2 sadly. :/
@@marygoglia it’s like my prized possession! Lol so good. I would pay a fortune for a Dreamcast mini. Those mini consoles were sick. Happy gaming 🕹️
@ same here! I also have a snes and nes classic! :) I hope Sega comes out with a Dreamcast mini! A friend gave me a few years ago an actual Dreamcast but it would be cool if sega did that still. I’d buy it lol :) Never got into Sega Saturn but hopefully someday they’ll make a mini of that too.
@ my only other guess in why they are taking away their digital releases of classic games is that I hope Sega is partnering with Blaze for their evercade products. Now that would be cool!!! :)
I'm sure others have mentioned this but something to keep in mind with the Genesis collection is that on Switch the collection has HORRIBLE input lag. Its very noticeable, even to the uninitiated.
Do you mean the game or the switch online games ?
@@54356776 He meant the Sega Genesis collection but that issue had been fix ages ago. Not sure why people still point that out. The collection is on ver 1.0.2 now, the input lags only happen on ver 1.0.0. Also the lag was on al platform, not just the Switch, even the PSP, PS2, Xbox 360 and PS3 collections all had lags yet people never reported about those.
That's a problem with Switch games in general
6:11 Unfortunately 4 games are not included in the console version and are only on the PC version, the Ecco the Dolphin trilogy and Eternal Champions. Also, the Switch version doesn't have the 2 Wonder Boy games.
Strange🤔, literally taking away a method for players to give Sega money. I hope it's for a good reason. Glad Guardian Heroes became part of Xbox years back, everyone should have the ability to buy that game👌.
Why they gotta do this every now and then man 😭🙏
because Sega hates all of us.
Anytime the fans speak out, they do the exact opposite.
We should just blast on social media that we DON'T want things like Shenmue 4, or more Panzer Dragoon.. then, and only then, will such games actually come into existence lol
Yet another reason why we need to support physical games and local game stores games. They are getting removed left or right and we're losing access to classic games. Remasters tend to alter and change content for modern sensitive audiences and rewrite history. We need to always have access to the originals.
Modern sensitive audiences?
Bro, America has always done that. This is not new. 4Kids censored Sonic X for American kids.
None of this is new. The Japanese versions of games are the ones that are uncensored.
Some of these D listings are coming back next year as new games, like JETSET Radio, and Crazy Taxi.
I don't think Sonic the Fighter and NiGHTS Into Dreams are coming back though.
My assumption is that they’ve got a bunch of fresh collections coming out. If I had to hazard a guess, a revamped Classics Collection (Genesis/Sega CD) Saturn collection (because a lot of Saturn games have recently been added to many storefronts) and Dreamcast Collection (new rights trading)
Just in case I bought an extra copy of Genesis and Dreamcast collection. Even though I’ll probably never play Bass Fishing 🤣
EDIT - I really hope they do a Fighters Megamix collection of some kind. It’d be great to have VF, Fighting Vipers, Sonic Fighters and Daytona all in one place, with Megamix as a solid fifth option to cap it. But that’s just me dreaming wild.
I’m glad I bought the sega genesis collection when I first got my switch
that's honestly something I wanna know too, I can understand for the New Games for certain titles because they got embolden by Sonic Origins & Generations, oh dear, but all of these, just what are they up to, hopefully it's a new Collection or something because that's completely disappointing, but it's SEGA, so how am I not surprised
Wouldn't be surprised if they're planning to launch their own app/service.
Sega listed some of their games shows what’s wrong with buying digitally
On steam they are delisting from being able to purchase but if you buy/ or have bought them, you still will be able to play them
I hope they do another compilation for ps5/xbox series. The ps3/360 had the best collection/versions of the games. :) when they delisted soul reaver 1 on steam, it was to make room for the remasters that's coming out in 9 days so, hopefully we get another collection for current gen, with more games and also a rerelease/remasters of sonic adventure 1 and 2. :)
Sometimes delisting is due to a new complication release. Wouldn’t it be insane if Sega plans to release a new console with a subscription service and or digital store?! Ooooh ahhhhh
They have other bundles planned that they want people to (re)buy. They realized their current bundles deals were too good.
I have the Dreamcast collection physically, im happy i do
SEGA needs to work with Digital Eclipse & put out something in the same vein as "Atari 50". SEGA has such a vast library & many of there arcade games (& some console games) could stand to be remastered & re-released on modern consoles along with some history behind the people involved in making them. With any luck SEGA is already working on something like that & that's why these current games are getting delisted.
Digital eclipse??🤢🤢🤢 Brother those are the last developers you would ever wanna work with for a classic game collection. Their work on the street fighter 30th anniversary collection was garbage
@@Sin_Doog Yeap just get them for the Capcom Arcade Stadium and Capcom Fighting Collection instead. Capcom Fighting Collection 3 may likely include the Street Fighter EX and Street Fighter III games maybe.
@Sin_Doog it's basically the same shit as the 15th anniversary collection, but with more games. I swear people hate on that collection just to bandwagon. Oh.. but the input la... eh shut up, it was there in the 15th anniversary and no one said shit then.
@@VOANthey are not releasing street fighter three again. Why do people want to waste a spot on a new collection to get a game we already have. That's such a waste.
@@kevinmatta9262 it was more than just the input lag homie, that online was straight ASS
Probably releasing or licensing a new multi-game retro consoles.
Sure a "frequently asked question" section, with none of the most frequently asked questions answered. Like: why are the games being delisted? will they come back in some other form? when are they coming back?
Could be because there's a new mini in the pipeline. It could also mean they've realised that most people are fed up with the same games floating around and have already bought them and maybe they're not selling much these days. Who knows for sure at this point.
Never underestimate though the out of control copyright laws in force these days as the slightest contest from anyone who has worked on a game or movie ever can claim they're not being reimbursed properly and a title could become unavailable as a result.
I actually started to collect all those XBLA physical collections in the last year. I managed to get Namco museum virtual arcade, Capcom Digital Collection and Dreamcast Collection because majority of those games are delisted and have backwards compatibility.
The best part about the Dreamcast Collection on 360 is the games are backwards compatible with series x but the problem with it is not all the games getting installed on the console.
I might need to get the rest of the Sega Genesis Games on Steam that aren’t on the Sega Genesis Mini 1 nor 2 before it gets delisted on December 6th.
The thing about that crazy Steam list is that if I’m not mistaken, you had the option to buy individual games, aside from the whole Collection, so I guess they have to list them individually for that reason.
If Sega is doing this to force us to buy the games all over again in a new collection then I hope they do it like Sonic Origins and make them all widescreen.
Likely they are planning to re-release another Sega Genesis collection this time for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch 2. Sega is known for doing this every gen/era.
Sega 6-Pak for Sega Genesis = 16- Bit era (Sega Genesis, Super NES, Turbo Grafx-16, NeoGeo)
Sega Classics Collection for Sega CD = 32-Bit / 64-Bit era (Sega CD, Sega Saturn, PS1, Atari Jaguar, 3DO, N64)
Sega Smash Pack Vol. 1 for Sega Dreamcast and GBA = 128-Bit era (Sega Dreamcast)
Sega Genesis Collection for PS2 and PSP = SD era (PS2, PSP, GameCube, Xbox, Wii)
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for PS3 and Xbox 360 = HD era (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U)
Sega Genesis Classics Collection for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch = 4K era (PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch)
i dont have steam and i got all those games on xbox so this isn't really a problem for me personally i just hope they bring all those games back in a collection or something especially jet set radio idk why but i missed out on that for the xbox 360 for whatever reason i got the trial though so better then nothing i guess Sega really needs to give crazy taxi and jet set radio some more love.
There is a positive... the only reason Sega is delisting most (most, not all) of these games is we're getting a re-release. I would bet almost anything I own on it.
Addendum- I own physical of all of it.
😢I own most of these on original hardware as well as the collections. Good luck taking those away from me Sega.
And this is why I buy physical games. If the delisted games had a physical release too, I can still find and get that game anytime in the future. And I really hope the next gen consoles will still have a disc edition, and the Switch 2 will still use cartridges. I like having a physical collection.
*Can't thank you enough. The collection has been in my Wishlist for months now & I just needed that push to buy it.*
The FOMO effect is strong.
@@xtro7355 you could always pay the inflated prices instead 🙂
I ain't got the money to get some of these games, so I guess I'm out of luck. 😔
Are these games still available right now? I might have to buy some before it’s too late
Yes. Available till December 6th!
Yes, they are available until December 6th. You have 7 days left until these games get delisted.
It was released for PC too, I own both of them. And they were priced as absolute bargains!
They really need to make an updated next gen game gear style handheld with hdmi out that will play all of their classic games. Handhelds are crazy popular.
First, it was generations, NOW THIS!?
And Sonic Origins 😢
So all it is sega is taking down their digital store games to buy...not a problem really if you have already bought them or got the collection on a physical disc.
Looks like prices are going to sky rocket then for physical games.
Delisting sega games....... sega might be doing their own sega game app or could we be getting a new console.....i wish.
Thank god I got SEGA MEGA DRIVE classics a couple of months ago 😓
Because Sega loves to take an L every once in a long while.
for every Win, they have to mess it up somehow
It's the Sega way unfortunately, they've been like this since the 90s.
@@Apocalyptic_Sentinel You could be right, especially back when Sega & Capcom cancelled the Physical Release of Mega Man the Wily Wars in the US.
@@kolkagaming1234 I remember wanting the Wily Wars game so badly as a kid and being disappointed that it never surfaced here besides on Sega Channel.
Thank goodness I got Sega Genesis Classics long ago for PS4, but it’s still sad altogether they are doing this
Sega delisting over 60 classic games from virtual stores, including Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi. Best guess, they are going to announce a new collection at The Game Awards and can't have the cheaper versions cannibalizing sales. This same thing happened when the Atari 50th collection came out a couple years ago. The previous digital package of old Atari games got delisted around the same time 50th released. This is the exact thing already done by Sega with Sonic Origins, all the games that are part of Sonic Origins were originally sold separately at $4.99 per (and Sonic CD was even the Christian Whitehead remake) and often went to $1.24 on sale so the full collection was about $20 or $5 on sale. Sonic Origins release had the old games removed from steam, launched at $39.99, later went down to $29.99(with a $10 expansion pass dlc which from what i can tell wasn't given to the people that paid launch price). The sale price is also higher with the average(post price cut) being $16.99 and the lowest being $11.99.
Normally, SEGA will begin to delist titles due to mainly two reasons. Licensing deals ending or a new product coming to market too.
An infamous example of a SEGA title's licencing deal leading to a delist is Alpha Protocol, a title developed by Obsidian (Fallout New Vagas), and was taken off market eventually due to music issues, however those issues were resolved and is back on market recently. The only game here that MIGHT be an issue with is Jet Set Radio since it has some licence music in there, but the fact its been on market for ages is the headscratcher.
It could also be a license issue with the engine they used?
There's also the other possibility, and that's something that is happening with the titles. I believe there was a trademark made alongside the recent announcement of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. called "Retro Memory" which might be a upcoming line-up of classic game releases under a new catalogue brand, like how we had the "Vintage" collections on Xbox 360 or SEGA AGES on Sega Saturn, PS2 and Nintendo Switch.
I wouldn't want to get negative about this yet, as i do feel SEGA will soon eventually release these titles again. In what form? That's what we need to find out.
The real downer is that they didn't bring out an alternative collection before getting rid of this older one. Instead they delist and then had us hope for a better one.
That's very weird how will play the original ones after that?
What?!!?!?! How dare they!!! Why?!! 😤
Buying and downloading all before it’s too late!
Good thing I have the Sega Genesis Classics Collection already bought digitally on PS4. And a few of those others on Xbox.
And I bought the collection physically on the PS4 for my cousin.
I got lucky and found Sega classics on switch this weekend and got it free from the buy 2 get one free at GameStop this weekend
@@Jason1975saved heck yeah bro good stuff!
For family.
Sega: "How can we make more money?"
Sega: "Take down all our existing collections and repackage them into a subscription service!"
It's going to happen. You know it is.
That wouldn't be fantastic, unless they start putting all their coin-op arcade games in that service, then I ain't interested.
Got a feeling they're coming out with a Sega Gamepass for their classic games
Glad I saw this! I have it physically on ps4 but not on xbox one so I've grabbed it digitally as it's on sale for £4.99 and I had enough credit to make it free :)
This is Sega. I have a feeling they about to release another collection of these exact same games sometime next year, in lead up to their new projects. They always releasing these games every 10 years. When it comes to these kind of releases, they second only to Capcom who constantly re releases their arcade games over multiple collections IN THE SAME GENERATION!
For all that these companies piss and moan about piracy, they sure love supporting it!
I am glad I already got the Genesis collection.
Because the amount of people playing them does not cover the cost of hosting them.
I would suggest if you love these games so much that you go out and buy the actual cartridges and something to play them on .
That way, no one can take anything from you
Enjoy. People funding bad ideas like digital only stores have done this to themselves.
How it would be any different if they were based on physical media? A company stopping making a product and withdrawing it from sale online is no different than if they withdraw a physical product from store shelves. The end result is the same. It's their product, their property, and they get to decide what to do with it. As a consumer, you don't "own" the software itself, you own a licence to USE that software, and that licence has terms and conditions that apply to you and them. It makes very little difference how the product is distributed. Just because you think something is a bad idea, doesn't mean you're right.
@another3997 it's different with physical media because I can go to the pawn shop and pick up a copy of a discontinued game.
Its about GamePass. I bought a modded Sega MegaDrive 2 and a cartridge with all games on it.
The input latency on the Sega Genesis Classics Collection is pretty dire, especially on Switch. So really the only use of the collection is just simply for having it. Definitely not the way I prefer to play. But for those that it's legal ownership or nothing (couldn't care less myself), removing them is just such an anti-consumer move.
This makes no sense, they own the rights to the majority of these games. Why not wait until they have something offer before delisting.
Why? few reasons
1.a middle finger to the consumer
2. so they can later re sell you this at jacked price and a lot of the time be a worse version of the gamer
3. its related to 2 in way re releasing them and censoring the games and changing them for a """""""""modern audience""""""""" (btw componies and corporse there nothing like modern audience its just the audience). Also buy not making the og version not available they can force the straw man argument of "this is how it always" and new people dont have way to compare with the original game
Obviously the best case scenario here is that they're getting rid of redundancies for things yet to be announced, and Sega does have the accrued good will to give them the benefit of the doubt on that point...but man, is this a terrible look in the moment.
It's most likely Sega will open their own subscription service.
Lol it's called Toejam & Earl In Planet on Funkotron.. someone misspelled it. Left out the R
Glad I got genesis classics when I could it had most the games my dad passed down to me
I don't see why it's that big of a deal. Those who want the games, you should already have them. They've been around forever so if you don't have them by now, it's your own fault. I don't understand the shock.
Second, I would think it has to do with "Shelf Space". You Tube content creators should understand this aspect, I think, about as well as game content creators and the business side of things, otherwise, why would the established society be begging for LIKES, COMMENTS (they really aren't going to read pretending for interest), and SUBSCRIPTIONS ("I don't like subscription services." I think you do, you just don't know it.") Because it keeps you relevant and on the front page in a really deep pool of content where everyone is doing the same thing but just trying to get their piece of the pie. ITS BUSINESS. ITS MONEY. SEGA isn't on the front pages of services to sell their content unless they're willing to pay the marketing dollars to do it. I would also imagine it costs money to keep things on that storefront. If the interest isn't there and people aren't buying, you're losing money. You have to have new content at the forefront to stay relevant and make money or you're going to get buried by everyone whose doing the same thing you are, making cheap games that don't utilize the tech to make a quick buck. YES! You bought a PS5 (A Ferrari, but under the hood you've got a Ford Focus engine) that isn't being used or demanding current gen tech and games..... So why did you buy it? I bought a PS5 for new game experiences and I'm denied that because the vast majority just wants to buy remakes, remasters, and re-releases. What gamer suffers? My kind does. When everyone's content living in the past and paying (now) $700 for a mid-gen refresh to play everything they've already played before, why did you just not keep your old hardware? Why did you trade up? My kind of Gamers, are losing interest in gaming and gaming could lose that crowd altogether and see a massive sales slump. We hung on to all our old games, so we're good. Whenever we want to play them, we don't have to scramble to find it and hope we can pull it off, we go into our game room, pull off the shelf, drop the cartridge in and off we go. All the minimalists living their lifestyle for no reason other than just because it's the current trend, now they're scrambling to get their DVDs and blurays back because they've learned they've just been had, the rest of us were way ahead. We learned from the past (history, which I had a middle school age kid ask me why we had to learn history. Most people reference World War II and the Civil War as prime examples, but history is much broader than that. It's learning from history within our own interests. Why we don't trade off everything we have to be on the cutting edge for a little while. Those games will be on the market for five years, you can acquire that over five years and when the price drops when that's obsolete and hang onto what you have until your disposable income comes along, then upgrade. You dont have to be on the cutting edge all the time. In the PS3 era, I always had something to play and was caught up. Today, I've learned just how incredibly patient I can be for a good deal and save a ton of money. And it's great.) but we're ahead of the curve. But, again, the problem is, because y'all are buying the same gaming experiences over and over, is it no wonder Sonys first-party development team are kicking back five years in with nothing to show for it? You obviously like The Last of Us, you've bought it three times over. You know Naughty Dog's talent but they've just been sitting around for five years with nothing to show, and when they do it, you're another year or two out, by then the PS6 is here and you're buying another console for another wave of remasters, why??? Because we've put up with it.
This issue doesn't bother me, I've been prepared for it since 1992. I've learned not to trade off my games and when everyone comes along to start taking away your digital purchases, I have backups STILL SEALED. Gamers have learned from history (Panzer Dragoon Saga that set the eBay precedent and was the most expensive game of its era and pioneered over priced video games. My brother got his copy for $40 when the Saturn was on its way out. I couldn't afford it as a kid and got it in my late 20's for the, then, crazy price of $300. I'm glad I did because today it would cost me 3x that).
SEGA is making a business decision, the same way a TH-camr would. To feed the algorithm, you need something new. Get rid of the old so you don't have to pay the storefront cost for shelf space buried beneath the over flooded competition (we should have learned from the Atari 2600 and discriminate, pick and choose quality titles-which at one time did work that way, Nintendo and SEGA had a seal of quality, which was B.S. marketing but it was because they learned what happened to Atari and didn't allow anything, you had to prove yourself) but we've let that slip away today as well. I, personally, think that's why SEGA is doing it, it's all about and always has been about $$$$$$$. Return on investment
That sucks. (But not in a mean way)
just bought it Today for 27 Euros on amazon.
Streets of Rage 1 and 2 Alone are worth it and the ToeJam and Earl Games
As longtime sega fan i am already lamented i dont know what's gonna be future of sega
It's to let gamers know who's really in control ... Mind games
I'm guessing that they're going to pimp off their game collection to one or more sub service, so the only way you could play some of these games legally ever again (if you don't already have a copy) is to sign up for one of those services
And thus piracy grows stronger.
Glad i bought my Sega Genesis games digitally
Sega is planning to resell these in another bundle or "Specific" types of bundles.
Sega for the past decade has been bringing back their old IPs with either remakes/remasters/new titles that capture the essence of those old games. Look at the Wonderboy series which had so many remakes/remasters/ports and a new successor game from 2012 on xbox 360 to a bunch of remakes in 2017, new successor game in 2018 and another remake around the 2020s.
Alex Kidd Miracle World got a cute lovely remaster. Sonic the fighters got a HD remaster on Xbox and Playstation 4 also the fanbase has done a PC port.
Sega showed off a big promo video this year promising Jet set radio, golden axe, crazy taxi n others especially when Jet set radio fans got so pissed off at sega that they, including the composer went and made Bombrush Cyberfunk.
Sonic Mania, pffft come on man I don't need to explain more yo, it sold insane numbers man and sega still showed their respect to the fans by letting them make a love letter to the old games which you can bet makes sega wanna invest more into their old stuff including the awesome Shadow X Sonic Gen game recently came out
I think for steam the mod workshop is a huge red flag as its turned into pirating games. You can get free genesis games on the workshop very easy.
Just rely on the game discs, they can't take that away from you or make your own comp with your own game discs or play Yakuza games to play the old classics!
Don't all you downloaders wish you had a physical copy now? Lol
For anyone who wants to get these games before they are gone, you have 7 days to get them!
Sega is doing this so they can charge for these titles on future systems. Money money money
They'll just release Sega's greatest hits vol. 55
Deffo some type of subscription service on the way
I think they are ready for their own subscription services. Sega might stop the Sega services online on Switch pretty soon.
So if you guys have all these on physical, congratulation.
I Was Mad That Sega Delisted Jet Set Radio On Xbox And I Had No Idea That The Game Was Delisted...😡
Why sega why
Emulation is the friend of game preservation.
well jokes on you! i happen to love sonic spinball!
did I miss it or did you explain why the games are being delisted?
