What's up with Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection on XBLA?

You can get the demo and watch the trailer, but there's no way to buy the game. I had some extra XBLA bux and went looking for it the other night, but no dice.

A list of the titles and Dreamcast II nonsense? That's.... not answering Centrale's question at all.

I'm not sure the game was ever available to purchase digitally. At least, I'm not seeing any news posts online announcing the game appearing on XBLA.

It looks like SEGA is trying real hard to gain some attention, and popularity of their lesser known, or forgotten titles. A lot of these games, I can remember as being arcades, ports, and even playing with. Another thing I also see, is that instead of making a TV toy ( what they did with four of these games ), they are hoping people will repurchase them, or make first time purchases as downloads.

I also mention DC2, because it is obvious the lack of spending they are doing by porting these games, over. It could suggest they are saving their zennys.

I could also see a sequel of Decap attack.

Welp, since we've solved this mystery I'm going to go ahead and lock the topic.
