Sega is getting into the "all your favorite old titles on one little replica console" game with the forthcoming Sega Genesis Mini. Similar to the NES Classic and SNES Classic from Nintendo, the Sega Genesis Mini contains a collection of classic Sega titles on one box with all the accoutrement you'll need to enjoy them on a modern TV.
SEGA is providing a free update to everyone who owns any of their classic titles, e.g., Golden Axe, Gunstar Heroes, or Streets of Rage 2, on Steam. Next Thursday, April 28, the SEGA Mega Drive Classics Hub will be pushed out as a new way for you to launch any of the games you own from a setting that may be all too familiar for some of us.

Twenty years ago today, the Sega Genesis was released in North America. Known as the Mega Drive in Japan, the Genesis was a big hit. The NES was dominant at the time, but that fabled console was a bit long in the tooth. With the help of truly superb marketing (Sega does what Nintendon't!), and a certain blue hedgehog, the Genesis became Sega's most successful console. It was also a great way to play co-op with a friend, with many stellar co-op games in the Genesis library.
When I was growing up, I was your stereotypical Nintendo Kid. Sure, I knew of the Sega systems and I had played them from time to time, but I never owned any of their systems aside from a pair of Game Gears that a well-meaning grandparent sent my brother and I for Christmas. Knowing this, you would also be able to extrapolate that I grew up playing Contra, the seminal co-op shooter we all know, love and memorized the Konami code for. Why am I bringing up Contra in this review? The reason is simple: Gunstar Heroes ruined Contra for me. The very first time I played this at a friend's house, I knew the game had changed. I couldn't go home again.

Ladies and gentlemen, the intertubes are clogged. They are completely filled with bullets and bosses from Gunstar Heroes. All the digital Drain-O in the world couldn't save it either, at least, on the PlayStation 3.
Just a friendly reminder that the two player co-op Gunstar Heroes hits the Xbox Live Arcade today for 400 . The game will launch on the PlayStation Network tomorrow. Gunstar Heroes features enhanced graphics as well as online and local co-op play.
