The other day it was announced that SEGA Ages would double its output by putting out four more titles. I guess we can consider the first four released the first wave which included: Sonic the Hedgehog, Thunder Force IV, Phantasy Star, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World. As you know, with past M2 re-releases, they like to add new features to said game. Right now we are looking at all the new details and new content they added for wave 2’s re-releases.
Wave 2 is Out Run, Columns II, Thunder Force AC, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The following was translated by Gematsu.

I definitely didn’t see the drop dash in Sonic 2 coming. Awesome!
I’m still trying to download games onto my SEGA Genesis Ultimate Flashback 2017 edition. I’m still having trouble with it and I’m trying to find a site that downloads .bin files I’m having no luck it. So I’m trying to convert the games I do have to .bin by using Convertio site. But the best I can do is the .7z. I have a 8 gigabyte sd card.
What I’m asking is, what site is the best for downloading .bin roms that isn’t blocked thanks to Nintendo.
Kinda lame that they can’t add the extras from the Christian Whitehead iOS port of Sonic 2
Why the fk is it on the Switch exclusively?
Sick of seeing Nintendo’s name in these articles, how hard can it be for Sega to just do a decent conversion and put it on Xbox Live or something?
Wow, I like it.
Too bad it’s not on PC as well
