SEGA Announces SEGA Vintage
Collection 2 for XBLA & PSN

This summer, you will be able to
individually download 7 classics from SEGA’s archive!

SEGA has announced 7 more classic
titles for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Each title will be reworked
for high-def consoles and offer new features like online leaderboards and
network play. All of them will be available this summer.

Gunstar Heroes (XBLA & PSN) – The
classic side scrolling shooter from the SEGA Genesis returns to captivate fans
new and old with its non-stop action and cooperative play.

Altered Beast (XBLA) – "Rise from
your Grave" as the original Genesis launch game is reborn and comes to a new
generation of gamers. Battle hordes of undead warriors and monsters as you
return to battle in order to save Zeus’ daughter Athena.

Shinobi (arcade) (XBLA) – Battle
your way through the "Ring of Five" as you save hostages with your ninja
abilities.

Comix Zone (XBLA) – The game
features an innovative art style that transports players directly into the
panels of a comic as they fight their way to save a world from destruction as
Sketch Turner. Everything from the speech bubble text, level design, and the
revolutionary graphics scream COMIX!

Phantasy Star 2 (XBLA) – SEGA’s
classic RPG which expanded on the success of the first with its epic storyline
and battle system.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (XBLA) – The
game that introduced Knuckles the Echidna comes to a new generation of gamers as
Sonic explores Angel Island and discovers the true power of the Master Emerald.
Speed through each level at lightning speeds as either Sonic or Tails as you
foil Dr. Eggman’s in his new Death Egg station.

And Coming late Summer 2009!

Sonic and Knuckles (XBLA) – Picking
up where Sonic the Hedgehog 3 left off, players can now play as Knuckles for the
first time. In addition, if players already have Sonic the Hedgehog 3 or Sonic 2
in their library, they will be able to access the lock-on bonus content for each
game for the very first time since the days of the SEGA GENESIS! This allows for
gamers to play Sonic 2 & 3 as Knuckles!
