SEGA’s seemingly prepping a compilation of Genesis (or Mega Drive, to the rest of us) compilation for the PlayStation 4, after a trailer leaked from the publisher’s press site. The video hints at various classics, like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, and ToeJam & Earl. It concludes with a 29th May release date, but no other information has been announced.
Presumably this will be similar to the SEGA Genesis Collection already available on Steam, which includes almost 60 games. We’ll reach out to the publisher and try and get some confirmation.
Update: The trailer has been pulled from YouTube. A mirror can be seen below:
Update #2: The collection has now been confirmed.

Streets of Rage make it worth it
But wait... they could have waited 2 days to announce this at SXSW. Why did they announce this now? But as for the collection itself... meh. Sega did this on the PSP,Xbox360, Steam and PS3 so it’s nothing new but if the price is right, the emulation is good, and if there is Sonic 3 and Knuckles lock on, I’ll check it out.
Hmm, the Genesis collection back on PS3/360 was awesome but I’m kinda picky with this type of stuff. I refuse to play Altered Beast unless it’s the arcade version and Bare Knuckle 3 over Streets of Rage 3.
@TheTetrisGuy It leaked, they probably are waiting
Hopeful for a physical release but it's probably digital only.
@JaredJ
Think I’m the opposite. Digital is best for me for games played in short bursts, I think my younger self would be disappointed that I can’t be bothered to change discs. I have most driving, fighting, online focused games on digital.
While I have the one on PS3, it doesn't have Gunstar or ToeJam. I'll wait to see the full game lineup before deciding though.
I could use a new Streets of Rage 2D is no problem.
Platted the PS3 collection hated the Mean Bean Machine Trophy, and I have all of them in Steam so I won't be buying it again. It's about time SEGA started making games properly and makes Skies of Arcadia 2 or at least re release the 1st one again. Surly the license for the GameCube version is now over then again that would be a perfect Switch title

This will be temping. I wish other consoles of the same time period would try doing these sort of collections as well. Easier said than done I suppose.
See I know I'll buy this but I don't know why because I'll just end up playing these games on my actual Megadrive instead, particularly Revenge of Shinobi as Spiderman won't be in this one. Some great games though, particularly Streets of Rage 2 and Toe Jam & Earl
Ooh, could be tempted by this!
The music playing in the back was from the menu screen on the streets of rage collection last gen. (The 3 streets of rage games) and @shonenjump86 you could pick which version of sor3 you wanted to play in that game. The Japanese version is easier and you get to fight that strange boss guy dressed in leather and high heel boots.
Hopefully it'll include Streets of Rage 2 (at least) as well as the first. Happy that Gunstar Heroes appears to be in the lineup too. Other titles I'd like to revisit:
Sunset Riders
Gynoug
Flicky
Kid Chameleon
Alien Storm
Comix Zone
World of Illusion
Quackshot
Desert/Jungle Strike
Earthworm Jim
Flashback
Truxton
General Chaos
I know they'll probably be included but Columns and Ecco can pretty much get bent.
If Sega don't cater to my every whim they will rue the day*
*they won't
I barely played the Last gen version - what with so many other new and infinitely better games around (that's progress) but I am sure many more will enjoy that nostalgic trip...
Nice, if the emulation is good and the price is fair, I'm buying it.
OH i hope this is true, as a SEGA Baby i would be all over that
MEGA DRIVE FTW!!!
I literally bought the PS3 collection second hand only last week. I'll only get this one if it's a significant improvement over the PS3 version, in terms of the games and/or emulation
Hopefully we'll be getting Sonic 3 & Knuckles... Finally.
@Bliquid why is it stupid?
I had this on the 360 and was loving Kid Chameleon all over again.
I love SEGA. I will buy whatever Classic Collection they make. I have all of them till now. They are somewhat cheap and have tons of content.
Hopefully it'll offer something the PS3 version doesn't to warrant the purchase. Other than that I definitely want this, at the right price.
@Shuebacca
QUACKSHOT!!!
Especially with Duck Tales coming back on my TV.
@Bliquid
Not everyone wants an overpriced portable console. This is a PlayStation fan site.
@JoeBlogs that hadn't occurred to me with the Disney stuff, I had thought that with EA stuff though. I used to love Megadrive/Genesis Madden and NHL.
Throw in all the Thunderforce and Shining series to make my dream come true y'all! Pls!
@KingdomHeartsFan Yeah I don't want this for PS4 either, lol.
@Bliquid
You joined 2 years before me!! Grab a banana.
Will I buy these games again for the 10th time? Yes I will. Yes I will.
@Bliquid
No I think you are tho 🐒. Here have another 🍌
Looks to be a combination of the PS3 collection and the Steam releases, that living room they showed was used in a PS3 theme I used to have. Hopefully they'll include the extra Master System/Arcade games from the PS3 ver like Axe Battler and Phantasy Star 1. Add in Monster World IV and the interviews and concept art they've had in other collections and it will be a day one buy for me!
Oh yea baby Day 1!! What??.... No Switch version?? Jeez...🤮...guess I’ll have to settle for the PS4 and Xbox versions! Let’s hope there’s a retail option as well!!
sega genesis is sega best console ever.i was a sega genesis fan back in the day still do.i remember playing my sega genesis back in 1989.altered beast.truxton.superhang on.rambo 3.and in 1991 the best beat em up of all time streets of rage.i l😍ve the sega genesis.i remember most of my friend had one also.genesis does what nintendont.😱😇😁.hahaha word up son
Never saw the fuss with Mega drive personally, I had a buddy with one and I did love Revenge of Shinobi but for me, the Amiga was THE games machine of the 90's.
Awesome! 10/10 will buy again since my PS3 can no longer read the discs.
I'm sure this version will have Castlevania Bloodlines! j/k
Quick cash grab. Same tired games. Now available on a new platform.
Already have the PS3 release. Now where are the Shenmue remasters?
Put Elemental Masters on it and it’s an instant buy for me.
Despite it's age, couldnt Sega redo Vitua Racing in PSVR among other games... Be cool
Anyhoo on topic: would love the old Super Monaco GP, PGA Tour Golf, Sensible Soccer but imagine licenses would be a problem...
Dust off Streets OF Rage 2 every now and again, stick the cheats on and play maniac mode... proper test that was!
@ThePathsofPain omg great game! Music is amazing!!
@joey302 it was easily my favorite game on Sega. It had great music and fantastic gameplay. I played it so much I could beat it without dying once. My name is Brandon, and I’m an addict for Elemental Masters.
No Switch release? I feel like releasing this on a portable console would be perfect.
@shonenjump86
I agree, Altered Beast on Console is a mess. It was okay back in the 90s but I can’t play it for more than 5 minutes now.
You know... A compilation of SEGA’s arcade games would be pretty great.
