Ecco and Sonic receive ESRB ratings for XBLA
Further validating the screenshots of SEGA's Vintage Collection discovered earlier this month, ESRB ratings have been discovered for two of SEGA's classic titles. One of them, Sonic the Hedgehog, we've known about for some time. The other, however, is something of a surprise. Ecco the Dolphin is also listed for the Xbox 360. While we love the original Sonic as much as any self-respecting gamer, we have a special soft spot for Ecco. Given an HD makeover and the spiffy new age soundtrack from the SEGA CD version and we'd really have a special title on Xbox Live Arcade.What other titles would you like to see in the SEGA Vintage Collection? Kid Chameleon, Altered Beast, Phantasy Star?

No thanks.. The 360 doesn't need anymore overpriced retro-arcade crap that can be had for little to nothing on other systems. What do you get for your extra $$$? A huge border around a tiny gameplay window.. This is why we have emulators like MAME not a $400 next-gen console.

Streets of Rage 2, Toejam and Earl, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, some of the old Fifa and EA Hockey games for the Megadrive (Genesis).
It's seems like a bit of a waste putting the original Sonic on Live, when Sonic 2 had 2-player races, and even co-op with Tails (to a certain extent), and even Sonic 3 (which would be worth a good 800 points).
I am liking this trend towards games which we all seem to be asking for; Bomberman, Turtles, Lumines, Alien Hominid, etc.

Classic Toe Jam and Earl, now that is a great idea. But make it so you can save your game. Stupid genesis making you play the whole thing in one sitting

I think those screens are more a coincidence than a validation. They looked awful, had typos and even the copyright date was some weird phrase instead of a number.

there was this one sega game, I forgot the name, where you can choose from a female, male, and robot character.
It was a side-scroller action and each person has a special move. The robot's move was the detonate himself. Whenever you would go into a building it would turn into a fps-esque game. Anyone know?

Well,
As I have told Sega in numerous email request, Streets Of Rage 1 and 2 for starters. Then how about some Golden Axe 1 and 2, all online co-op. Also dont forget that the Sega Saturn was over ten years ago so consider it Vintage as well. With that said, the most important games Sega should be focusing on bring to the Live Arcade is Guardian Heroes, Dragon Force and Baku Baku PLEASE.

Oh wait! That's Sega master system, not genesis...nhl '94!! Intro of one-timers

I know this has nothing to do with Sega (short of the game being on the Dreamcast), but Power Stone 2 NEEDS to come to XBLA. With online that game would be freaking amazing. Anyone else agree?

@13 - I do.
They brought it back randomly on the PSP, but then it disappeared again. To me it's a no brainer.

Don't think sega made it, but Micro Machines was a classic!! Like to see that on the marketplace.
