I'm glad I waited but I would hate to be the fan who supported each of their releases only to feel more and more screwed. Bought all the eShop games but want Power Drift and PuyoPuyo 2? Buy the Collection even when you have most of the games! Want Power Drift and PuyoPuyo 2 digitally and with enhanced features? Buy them again! Woo!
I love the effort put into these games, but the release format so far for the new stuff leaves much to be desired.
Yeah, I'm somewhat inclined to agree, because that may have been what I'd done... if I wasn't in Europe so had no guarantee of the Collection anyway!
I think what they should have done - and I believe it's possible with their infrastructure - is given the option to buy the collection digitally, in such a way that you get a discount on the collection for each game within the collection that you already own. That way it doesn't feel as unfair, and Sega doesn't lose out because since we're talking digital, it's not like you can pass on the 'old copies' either.
