In the latest issue of Japanese games mag Famitsu, some good news for retro Sega gamers. According to the article, a new wave of classic SEGA titles will be finding a new home on the PS2.Some notable titles include jet packing, key collecting platformer Quartet on the Master System, Space Harrier 2 on the Megadrive, and Panzer Dragoon on the Saturn, which will feature upgraded graphics.
Also mentioned is something called Dynamite Detective, which over here in the West was called Die Hard Arcade (on the Saturn). It's not clear how many of these games will be included together on one disc, or how they will be grouped.
By far the most exciting news, though, is that of something called the Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box, a selection of games from twitch gameplay maestro developers Treasure, originally published by SEGA on the Megadrive. Naturally, it includes Gunstar Heroes, the platform/side scrolling shooter in which you must save your home planet of Gunstar-9. Heroes has it all, beautiful, busy graphics, pump-up music and sublime, hectic gameplay. Also included in this collection are Alien Soldier, another space platform/shooter, and Dynamite Headdy, a rather surreal platformer in which your character has access to a number of detachable and interchangeable heads according to his need.
