Genesis on Xbox Live Arcade? Why Not?

February 2, 2007 by Ken Horowitz 0 comments

With more than a million downloads on the Virtual Console, Nintendo is seeing a massive interest in classic titles. Sega has been taking advantage of this bonanza, already bringing Genesis games to Nintendo’s fledgling service and with plans to offer many more. So if there’s definitely an interest in its back catalogue, why limit itself to only Nintendo’s console? Could there be an advantage to Sega making its 16-bit games available on Xbox Live Arcade? Sega-16 takes a long, hard look at this possibility, and the answer is deeper than you’d think.
