Sega taking votes on next Genesis game for XBLA photo

Choice is good. There's nothing like having plenty of options, especially when it comes to a discussion like what should or shouldn't appear on Xbox Live Arcade. Understanding this, Sega is currently conducting a poll which lets participants vote to decide the next game in its Genesis back catalog to be ported for digital download.

It sure is nice to know that your vote for Earthworm Jim counts for something. There are several selections to choose from, including Earthworm Jim and some other games that are not Earthworm Jim. One of them, however, is Earthworm Jim. Feel free to head over to the above link at your earliest leisure and cast your vote for the Earthworm Jim of your choice.

Your vote (for Earthworm Jim) is your business, and far be it from me to sway your decision. To vote for Earthworm Jim

Something about this article compels me to vote for Jim, but I just can't figure out exactly what it is...

Why waste a vote on Streets of Rage when the 2nd is online already?

I was going to be an asshole since I don't own a 360 and vote for the shittier one but they're all pretty good.

I was going to happily vote for Earthworm Jim, but then I had a wave of funk hit me and I noticed Toejam and Earl was there, can't wait to get back on Funkotron. Also, EJ is winning by a landslide right now, so Toejam needs the votes... since it is much better... that's right, I said it.

I voted for 'Sega, stop peddling out your old games for nostalgias sake and promote your new IPs. Unless you are going to bother remake said franchises with new graphics at least just leave it!'


...I mean, Earthworm Jim.

Where the fuck are Phantasy Star 4 or SoR3? Or Crusaders of Centy (yeah I know it's an Atlus published game but it's one of the best Zelda clones ever). Or Pulseman.

That's totally weird. All votes for Earthworm are going to Toejam. Sorry Dtoid, I tried.

I wouldn't mind Streets of Rage, but then, we can get that on the Wii VC too, right? I'm all about Earthworm Jim.

I too voted for Earthworm Jim... although I wish there was an option for "FUCK GENESIS I WANT A NEW JET SET RADIO GAME!!!"

Earthworm Jim has 45% of the vote, the closest is toejam with 19%.

I had to vote for Earthworm Jim because it is one of the few if only games that garners such an awesome name.

I'm sorry... but Toejam & Earl with online co-op would be pure win.

I'm like, 90% sure that Sega will put Earthworm Jim & Toejam & Earl on XBLA, regardless of how this poll turns out. Actually, they'll probably put all of them on XBLA. They put fucking Comix Zone on there before these, FFS.

Electro lemon that better not have been spite in your tone. Comix zone is one of the fucking best games on the genesis platform. so suck it.

I was going to vote for Earthworm Jim, but then I saw ToeJam & Earl...

I knew Earthworm Jim would be the winner anyway, so I gave my vote to ToeJam & Earl. :D

Earthworm Jim is stupid if they're not going to port the Sega-CD version. Which they won't.

There does seem to be missing a "Screw Genesis, Give Me Shenmue" option.

You shouldn't vote for games that are already on the Ultimate Genesis Collection. That would be just dumb.

@imortal2k9:

it was a joke. Altered Beast is fucking terrible and everybody knows it. furthermore, there are two versions of it on Sega Mega Drive Collection. no need to be rude.

Sega should broaden their minds, as its not just Megadrive games we want. Throw open those Saturn, Dreamcast and arcade catalogues too, fools.

Here's what I want

Jet Set Radio Future with online multiplay
Daytona 2001
Motoraid
Scud Race
Planet Harrier
Alien Front Online
Space Channel 5

Shining Force III
Phantasy Star

Cowboy TTop: I was going to yell at you about how this is in celebration of the 20th birthday of the Genesis, and that the other Sega consoles have no place here, but how can I yell at someone that mentions Jet Set Radio Future?

Hm... It won't let me vote. In fact, when I visit the site, the entire center portion of the site is blank. What choices am I missing?!

P.S. - Darkstalkers, please and thank you. Preferably Night Warriors for Saturn. Just saying.
