As we exclusively revealed yesterday, SEGA is indeed planning to release the SEGA Genesis Classics compilation that will include over 50 games on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on May 29.

The game will include online co-op play in some games and enhanced features, like Rewind, Mirror Mode and a host of visual filters, according to SEGA. The PS4 and Xbox One versions will come digitally and physically, and the physical version will include a two-sided poster.

After a request from SEGA, we pulled our original story. The assets for the game were inadvertently publicly available on SEGA’s press site due to a “technical error.”

SEGA sent us the following message regarding the error: “The gun was jumped a little bit there on the Sega Genesis Classics announcement. When we are in a position to properly announce it, with an official release date and an official SEGA communication, we will. Stay tuned.”

Before you ask, no, there will not be a Nintendo Switch port, so please no need to comment asking why because we have no idea.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
