This news is absolutely huge for fans of older games. It'll be interesting to see what other developments occur between now and E3.

That's fucking cool. TG16 had some awesome games and there were a few good ones on the Genesis. I would have preferred to see the Saturn on there or, hopefully, the DC. And the Master System/Game Gear should be a joke (same system, for those who don't know) with some pretty cool games.

I would like to see the world finally exposed to the goodness that was Phantasy Star and Shining Force. Beyond Oasis as well, that was a fairly cool game. There were A LOT of titles.

That makes me excited. Sonic and Bonk on the Revolution?

Bonk's Adventure was an awesome. There was also Military Madness on the system, which I really liked.

I think it would be really cool if the online features that they discussed last year that might be included with the games include online score keeping, such as what is seen in Metroid Prime Hunters. I would certainly like to see how my playtime/score in Castlevania III or Faxanadu (and any number of other games which I loved growing up) would compare with others.

IMO, there were much better games on the TG-16. Dragon Spirit, Blazing Lasers, Castlevania Drac X: Rondo of Blood, Gradius 2, Dungeon Explorer...and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Not even count Bonk and other (better) versions of games we've already played, like Forgotten Worlds and Bomberman

I am defidently with you on those games. It would be nice to see Sorcerers Kingdom and Sword of Vermillion as well. Not to mention Herzog Zwei. Plus factor in the sure to come genesis classics like Jurassic Park, Vectorman, and Golden Axe.....this is gonna rock.

You can get the PS games on the GBA (first 3) for about $10 now....
