@@michaelp4122 as a big Sega and Sonic fan growing up in the 90s I hated mario and nintendo in general but there was one game franchise nintendo had that I loved even more than Sonic and it was DK! Its crazy how ahead of its time DK Country 1, 2, 3 were on a 16-bit platform with the sprite CG-like graphics. There was no other game quite like it until Vectorman 1 & 2 dropped. Those games really were ahead of their time! And the 80s synthwave music of DK is timeless! Fast forward now and DKC Tropical Freeze is my #1 sidescroller platformer
Same here, I hope they continue to be updated, the Sega Genesis app is one of the reasons I want the premium subscription (I use it a lot more than the Nintendo 64 or Game Boy Advance right now), I hope games like Mega Bomberman may come to the catalog soon.
Honestly, it looks cool. I know nothing about it, but I love that it feels like it was mixing in 3D elements into a pixelated game making it feel a bit a head of its time. I have a respect for games back then that tried to do things a bit ahead of their time. It’s just fun seeing something like that, that’s why even though I don’t really play the original Star Fox, I can respect what it was doing. 😅
@@Jojo8. It would be insane to not release the Switch 2 by end of next year with the way they said it will be officially revealed by spring, so everyone just assumes it to be related. Which can mean great things.
@Jojo8. I think a new system (or possibly 2 systems) will be added to NSO during 2025. Why? Well, because in 2019, Nintendo added the SNES system to the service. Then, 2 years later, in 2021, Nintendo introduced the expansion pack, which added N64 and Sega genesis to the Service and then 2 years later in 2023 Nintendo added Gameboy and Gameboy advance into the Service. Now notice that every 2 years Nintendo adds new systems into the Service which likely means that there will be a new system coming to NSO in 2025.
@sethwight7029 they all looked good. And toe jam and earl isn't random. They already have the 1st one on the app and I think those games are pretty well known. I have that one on my genesis too
@@carlospaulorozcorodriguez6869the only time I saw it recently perfectly remade was on the Sega Genesis Mini 2 system, (bought it, it's great) but that was it's own custom hardware.

WHAT IS GOING ON?! This many games added to NSO in short succession, AND they're adding Sega Genesis games again in over a year?! Am I going insane here or what?!
Great update. For those who haven’t played it, don’t sleep on Vectorman. Fingers crossed we see Streets of Rage 1, Phantasy Star 2, and Shining in the Darkness on here in the near future.
Blast processing was confirmed to be a myth. And don't forget Switch can run Super FX Chip enhanced SNES games, (like StarFox and Yoshi's Island) which apparently the Wii Virtual Console couldn't do for some weird reason.
Nintendo: We were so busy with Donkey Kong that we kinda forgot the Sega Genesis was on our online service. Here you go. Some love for the Sega Genesis
Vectorman had a $25,000 giveaway contest back in the day. Sure would be nice if NSO would revive that (adjusted for inflation) and give a player $250,000 for being the first to beat the game on some crazy new stage or something.
Nice that they updated Genesis online, in the Switch successor, maybe give us Game Gear, Master System & maybe Sega CD, 32X, Saturn & Dreamcast online with their respective classic controllers if possible
I was literally thinking the other day about how long it’s been since the NSO Genesis app received an update!!! Next yall gotta add Streets of Rage 1 & 3 tho
FINALLY my switch Genesis controller can get 20 more minutes of usage! No but genuinely I am happy they're actually starting to roll more out here recently. Would be great if they kept up this pace of releases on NSO
I find it CRAZY that they're bringing in Vectorman and Toejam & Earl after axing those games from every other platform by delisting their own Genesis collections on PC and the other consoles.
So glad Vectorman hasn’t been forgotten! I think it would make for a great movie adaptation one of these days (in the hands of the right writer and director).
It would be amazing to get Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 on NSO so we have the originals available again(Since they got pulled from Steam), but it seems unlikely. If anything, it seems like a miracle Sonic 2 is still on it.
Vectorman lives again...
He's gotta come back
Vectorman is Sega's Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong seems to be this week's theme.
i grew up on that game, man even Vectorman 2 was pretty dang good too

They really do be dropping these like it’s Christmas…
(or Thanksgiving for that matter)

Now now, lets give the dreamcast some credit, six games.
Dreamcast has lots of great games though

Well it's nice to see you here after I commented on your video about this very subject.
It’s hard to believe that Nintendo and Sega were intense rivals at one point, but it’s clear who the winner was
Setendo won
SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON’T
Yeah, PlayStation
Nintendo didn't beat Sega, they beat themselves. They would still be in the console business if they didn't make the poor decisions they took.
Sega!
It's about time. Felt like the Sega App wasn't getting any love. Now I can FINALLY beat Vectorman. We also need the other 2 now
Now that Genesis Classics is delisted, we'll hopefully get more of the missing games over
I hope games like Sonic 1, Sonic 3D Blast, Bonanza Bros. Or Street of Rage 1 and 3 can be added to the app too
I love how in the description they specify that the contest promotion on the vectorman box art ended like we don’t have any damn sense
