Das SEGA Ages Team ist mir sehr sympathisch.
– the team took their time with these titles as they didn’t want to do half-baked ports
– the staff at M2 now have a good grasp of how Switch’s hardware works with after wrapping three SEGA AGES games
– it’s impossible to bring all games initially announced by the end of 2018 like originally planned
– M2 is currently working on Sega Ages Virtua Racing
– they’re doing a lot of research on how the game’s code works
– the next one they’re planning to do that was programmed by Yuji Naka is Sonic the Hedgehog 2
– the team might include things that Yuji Naka wanted to do in Sonic 2, but couldn’t because of the Genesis’ limitations
– with Virtua Racing, they’ll reproduce the original arcade version and improve it
– the team is using a functioning Sega Model 1 arcade system board for research
– they could even make a Switch version of Model-1’s Star Wars Arcade game if they had the authorization
– they’re making something “that’ll allow everyone to play Virtua Racing together”
– they’re also working on something to “play Sega games on Switch in a good environment”
– the team will definitely release some Dreamcast games on Switch at some point
– there’s a particular game 3 of the devs love and want to replay, so they’re currently working it
– once they’re done releasing 15 games like they initially announced, it’ll mark the end of the “Season 1” of old SEGA AGES
– they plan on doing a Season 2 as well
– Thunder Force AC, the arcade version of Thunder Force III, uses much more colors and has additional stages
– with Gain Ground, Horii got “super exciting” Twitter DMs from a hardcore fan of the game that may help with the Switch version
– the results of the TGS 2018 survey showing 30 games that fans want to see remade for Sega Ages is being considered
– these titles would be part of Season 2
– there are no plans for the first 3 Virtual-On games on Switch yet, but the team would love to do it
