I have all of those Sega collections. Have 'em and love 'em. There's some serious overlap in my game library, but I'm a sucker for a cheap disc that contains all of the old games I used to l enjoy so much. But I think I'm finally reaching a point where I know I need to stop buying the same Genesis games over and over again. Sega needs to move on to some newer classics. How about the Dreamcast library?
From what Alan Pritchard, Sega's executive VP of sales and marketing, tells Game Informer, it sounds like they're finally moving on. It sounds like we're finally going to get a Dreamcast collection.
"We actually have a Dreamcast collection coming out soon. We are looking to bring some of the old Dreamcast games to market digitally and packaged," Pritchard tells Game Informer. "The titles are still to be announced. The Ultimate Genesis Collection did huge numbers on PS3 and 360, so it's an important part of our business."
We know they've been testing the waters with a few digital releases on PSN and XBLA. Now they're giving us the good stuff. CVG reminds us that there were some retail listings that gave a date of Feb 15 for a Dreamcast collection. Now I feel like I can get excited about that date.
Sega, don't mess this up by not including both the Shenmue games.

Also, how about a Saturn Collection, as there are definitely some gems that nobody played...
Plenty of Shmups, JSR...awesome news.
Jet Set Radio ensures a Day 1 purchase from me!
I will buy this. Maybe twice.
The Saturn collection would be 5 games. All I can honestly think of are Panzer Dragoon and Knights.
As long as this Dreamcast collection contains Jet Set Radio and both Shenmues, I'll gladly pay $60 for it. The kicker is that it will be $30, so there's no way I'm passing this up (unless those games are absent).
However, as much as I loved Shenmue, I don't think I could play through it again.
Anyways, I hope that it'll include different titles than what they've released on PSN/XBLA.
Dreamcast on the other hand. There are way too many great titles for this console. Now that I think of that. I had no internet when I played saturn games. ^^
I guess it's safe to assume that stuff with licensed properties would not be included. Which big games would that knock out?
So they're just going to skip the Saturn like it never even existed?
I want to play Panzer Dragoon Saga......My Saturn broke before it came out!
You sonofabitch... >:E

I'm so ready for this.
JET SET, JET SET, JET SET RADIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~!
There were so many more fantastic games!
Sega Bass Fishing
Virtual-ON
Chu Chu Rocket
BOTH Shenmue chapters
Other than that, we're cool, unless you can coerce Capcom to show you some Tech Romancer, Power Stone and JoJo love.
The Saturn had no good games? What are you talking about? Guardian Heroes and DragonForce were amazing games!! GH would be awesome with online MP! Albert Odyssey was not that bad, either. Heroes of Mystaria, not so good. And Shining Force 3 was cool, but it sucked that they didn't release all 3 games in the SF3 trilogy.
Dynamite Cop
Sega Bass Fishing
Jet Set Radio
The zombie beat 'em up game
other
I guess history does repeat itself.
Oh, and yes, do a Saturn collection ASAP.
