He was disputing my point because he didn't catch my irony. He tried to save face by claiming his comment was ironic because he was agreeing with me. But, even if that were his intention, it was pointless. I already made the point (even using the same words). Mimicing me didn't make his post clever. It just made it redundant. He was just bullshitting to save face, and you are a fool for falling for his excuse.
No, the only truly true thing is that you have no fucking clue what irony is.

Hehe. Too true.

With the dirt-cheap prices I'll gladly pay to own re-releases of these; 16-bit emulators just never feel quite right to me, though I imagine I'm just weird in that respect.
C'mon, Sega, gimmie Sonic CD and Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side.
Actually, as long as I'm being wishful, give me a new Eternal Champions on a current-gen system.

Anyone with an emulator has already had all these games for many years now. FAIL
True, some of us have been playing Snes & Genesis games on emulators for a decade while others haven't got the faintest idea what an emulator is, but will no doubt fondly remember their favorite Genesis games. Can you guess which group Mr. Pili wants to appeal to?
True! I forget about all the noobs out there.

Even if you intended your reply to be some kind of ironic "me too," it's still redundant and pointless. There's nothing clever about it, and I already made the point.
Apparently neither have you

Odd, I played them the first time around and I'm still playing games on the PC.

Oh fuck yea Vectorman and Ecco the Dolphin. Two of my favorite genesis games. I already play them via emulators though, so I see no reason to purchase these though.
That's primarily what these old releases are about. Now they can claim damages against the emulator people, in addition to milking every last cent out of decades old games.

I'm just hoping for ToeJam & Earl.

Nice.
"...and now with sports. The Cointen Spinky Whompers flumped the Floing Boing Welfencloppers, 70-fluff to 40-flabe. At the tone, the time will be 26 railroad."
All these classic SEGA titles will be available from $ 2.99 but for a full list of all available titles and features, please visit www.sega.com
Perhaps the people writing the press release should have checked with the webmasters at sega.com - a quick browse turns up absolutely nothing.
Or I can go down to the used game store and pick them up for my genesis for $1 each....hmm...
Seriously, though.
Add online play via Steam and I'll buy in.(seconded)
