One of the biggest announcements at this year's Game Developers Conference in San Jose was the revelation that Nintendo's Wii (then code-named Revolution) would feature downloadable games from the library of the Sega Genesis.

The reception the announcement got is a clear example of the popularity of retro gaming and the Sega Genesis in particular. Now it appears that gamers won't have to buy a Wii just to play Genesis games.

Sega today announced that Sega Genesis Collection, a compilation of more than 30 Genesis titles, is being released this fall for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. Sega did not differentiate between the two versions but did confirm that the PSP version would take advantage of the handheld's capabilities.

A full list of the games in the compilation hasn't yet been released, but Sega did reveal that Golden Axe, Sonic the Hedgehog, Shinobi III, Altered Beast, and a Phantasy Star game (likely Phantasy Star II) would be included. The collection will also feature unlockables, such as interviews with the developers of the original titles, game hints, and some Sega arcade games from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Last week, Sega announced that it was bringing a retro compilation of Genesis games to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable later this year. The publisher confirmed that Golden Axe, Sonic the Hedgehog, Shinobi III, Altered Beast, and a Phantasy Star game would be among the included titles.

After a week of speculation, Sega has provided gamers with a full list of 28 Genesis titles that will be included in the collection. The rest of the originally promised "more than 30" games should be accounted for by unlockable arcade games.

It turns out each of the previously confirmed franchises (except Altered Beast) will be represented by multiple games, with Phantasy Star and Golden Axe each seeing installments included in the compilation. Joining that list of Sega luminaries will be a number of lesser-known (but still fondly remembered) games like Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Ecco the Dolphin, Kid Chamelon, and Vectorman.

The full list of Genesis titles included in the collection follows:

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Altered Beast
Bonanza Bros.
Columns
Comix Zone
Decap Attack starring Chuck D. Head
Ecco the Dolphin
Ecco II: The Tides of Time
Ecco Jr.
Kid Chameleon

Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom
Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millenium

Steel, You are right about memory card adapter.

I found out Sonic the Hedgehog is coming to GBA as "Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis". Nintendo Power confirmed this game and release date is November 2006. It come in original mode and anniversary mode which allows Sonic use Dash Attack ability and game save feature. This game celebrating 15 years since its macsot made first appearance in 1991.

Oops. This post suggested to go in Sonic the Hedgehog topic.

There should've been a memory card adapter from MS but seems too late for that to happen or that it's nearly impossible to do so due to difference hardware between Xbox360 and Xbox.
