Streets Of Rage And Golden Axe Collections Hit Xbox 360 Next Week

Two of Sega’s classic beat ’em up series are getting the digital Sega Ages treatment. Sega is bundling the three Genesis Streets of Rage games as Streets of Rage Collection. Golden Axe Collection includes Golden Axe, Golden Axe II, and the Japan-only release Golden Axe III. 

Each collection costs 800 Microsoft Points ($10) and includes a jukebox with in-game music.

Hmm… I wonder if the "Metal Slug 3 trick" will let players try the Japanese version of Streets of Rage 3, which has a different boss at the end of the first stage. The North American version removed the bloody barfs characters make when they are turned into zombies. However, you can restore the game’s original settings by switching your Xbox 360’s language to Japanese. This also changes the character names in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 from Akuma to Gouki.
