More Sega classics have seemingly been confirmed for release on Xbox Live Arcade, including Shinobi and Comix Zone.
Xbox 360 Achievements have been discovered for Altered Beast, Shinobi and Comix Zone, somewhat heavily suggesting they're headed for the 360 download service.

There are plenty of Mega Drive ports already on the service of course, including Streets of Rage 2, Sonic the Hedgehog and Ecco the Dolphin, which puts further concrete on the news.
If you can't be arsed to wait for the retro rehashes to turn up, full compilation Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is also out there for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and you can read our review of that right here.
You'd at least think they would release games that werent on the Megadrive collection.
Theres only one retro collection Ive been interested in recently at that was on the PS store. It was called EA Megadrive classics and it had Road Rash, Desert Strike, FIFA etc. but guesse what? It only worked with a PSP (On which you can download all those games for free easily anyway) I bet they sold barely any of them. If they had let it work on the PS3 I would have bought it in a flash.

Yeh there are some really good games there SVD, even if only Shenmue was released on live or PSN I would send thank you letters to SEGA personally, but if NiGHTS was released (the original saturn version im guessing SVD?) then good lord, words can not describe how happy I would be!
It would be nice to see the Resident Evil series on XBLA and PSN in the Euro regions and how about some more Ultimate games, now they're real classics.
i'd love both the arcade and megadrive versions of this(both were different, the same as E-SWAT). its a toss up between those or Shinobi 2 as to what was the best in the series and the dog just pushed it for me.
still say either Sega Rally or Daytona should be next on sega's list though.

yeah they not long ago made a ps2 NiGHTS in japan which looked better than the saturn original..
but id like a new PSN 1080p version. would be gorgeous.
There are a few old Megadrive games I would like, but these ones are pants. Altered Beast was crap when it first came out, and isn't likey to get many downloads.
Give me the Strike Series, with updated graphics, same with the Streets of rage. And how about Thunderforce or Hellfire?old school shoot em ups would be perfect for the PSN Network.
Dont get me started about the lack of a Sensible Soccer game on PSN either...
personally i quite liked nights on the wii. It was more of the same pretty much.
Hqave a feeling though that alot more of segas series reboots i'll come to the wii than the 360 or ps3.
So far we'v had nights, HOTD and a port of ghost recon.
Be great if they made crazy taxi 4 for the wii. it'd be the perfect fit. not sure we'll see another toe jam and earl though.
HOTD looks ace! I'll be heading to my mates this weekend to have a go. I agree with you on the Wii getting more ports though, Dreamcast games have the right look IMO. Although JSRF HAS to come to 360.
sega rally's already had a hd update for the 360, not sure if it came out on the ps3. No bugger bought it. just go to your nearest bargain bin you should be able to pick it up for a fiver.
I'd love to see a new comix zone. 3d ish side scrolling. like viewtiful joes was. with the same bands from the original doing new tracks. I've still got the cd that came with the original MD cartridge somewhere. Best game soundtrack ever.

it came out on PS3 as well. but i'd still rather play the originals with a HD spit and polish and both splitscreen and online play. they've still never bettered the original tracks from the arcade and Saturn versions.
a version of JSR and Crazy Taxi wouldn't go amiss either
