As will Phantasy Star Trilogy. Which begs the question: did all three remakes get released already?
I certainly hope they rid PS2 of those god-awful battle sound effects...

I wonder how long it'll be before Sonic and NiGHTS end up under the Ages label?

Why should they release the Sonic games under the Ages label when thousands of people buy the original games without any enhancements anyway?

I would kill for a PS2 NiGHTS port.

I would destroy a small city, or a large township.

The only Sonic games that deserves to land on the AGES is Sonic CD though maybe they could work out putting Chaotix. I'm not sure if the AGES label includes arcade-only releases, but it would also be nice if Segasonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Fighters would show up under that line.
Also NiGHTS deserves something bigger than just giving it the AGES treatment.

If we don't get "something bigger" by the time the 10th anniversary rolls around, I'm willing to settle for an AGES port.

I'd blow up the bloody <i>moon</i> for a PS2 port of NiGHTS. Preferably with improved graphics. And Christmas NiGHTS thrown in for good measure.

Fuck, for port of NiGHTs with improved graphics and all of the Christmas NiGHTs extras, I would blow up . . . Pop's Mom. Because she's the biggest thing I can think of.

I think the problem there is that the games in the AGES collection are considered to be "Classics." I don't think you'll find many people who hold the Sonic arcade games in that light.
But considering that VF2 is running as well as it is on the PS2 via emulation, Sonic the Fighters should be a breeze if they were to decide to release it.

The first PS remake was released awhile ago, and Phantasy Star 2 comes out in January in Japan. As for PS3... Um, that game really doesn't matter.
I seriously wouldn't mind if they skipped PS3 and just went on to Phantasy Star 4.

But what about Dark Phallus?

Phantasy Star 3 won't be a part of the re-releases. They're going straight to PS4.
Who's Dark Phallus?

I wish they would put NiGHTS in atleast one of their collections, I hear so many good things about this game but I have never had the chance to play it. As for the collection, Golden Axe is the only thing I'm excited about.

Phantasy Star 2 comes out in Nov. 25 with Dragon force... if Dragon Force is an Ages game... I think Nights or Burning Rangers could be it too
From that list the only good remakes are Bonanza Bros and Virtua racing, the others are mediocre/medium good, just my opinion.

I'd like to see a collection of arcade classics that <i>weren't</i> Mega Drive ports, but true arcade-perfect ports. And a home edition of the <b>REAL</b> Golden Axe II.
