I know this is supposed to be good news for the company on terms of business, but in terms of the consumer, especially if you are a fan, this kind of news is a bit enraging, because Sega consigning the entire Sega Ages platform to a Nintendo hardware platform exclusively when they’re are perfectly good if not better other store platforms to put the Sega Ages virtual console on, like Xbox Live, Steam, Epic, and even PSN.
I think it’s a great series and I love the high quality work that M2 does… it’s just disappointing that it’s all relegated to the Switch. Bring it to PC and the other consoles, too.
I’m excited for Herzog Zwei and maybe G-LOC, but that’s about it. Where are the Saturn and Dreamcast games they’ve been teasing? Where are the 3D Arcade games like Virtua Racing?
