[Patch]

No widescreen support or the ability to turn off borders.

We already knew that the moment it was announced and said that they were only going to be emulated game gear versions.

I don't know why Sega didn't at least going with the master system versions but it was very clear from the start it was going to be the basic game gear versions.

They had Sonic the Fighters in Lost Judgement to celebrate his anniversary, yet conveniently left Sonic 1 off of the Master System games.

Also not every game had a Master System version - most didn't. Plus Sonic 2 and Chaos were EU exclusives, and Blast was for Brazil.

Wait... no screen size settings for the GG games?! This was something even the Mega Collection Plus and Gems Collection had back on the PS2 - you could click R3 to switch to a smaller resolution that better suited the original Game Gear resolution, or R3 again to revert back to the default full screen setting.

Yeah, the games appeared stretched in those collections, but you could fix it yourself if you wanted to by using your TV settings to display at a 4/3 resolution, a feature built-in to most TVs nowadays.

I don't see why offering the Master System versions of the games that did get released on it couldn't be an option you could select before launching the game. As for regional concerns, the games are region free and will run at 60hz if you play them on a US console.

But are there save states? Asking for a friend.

Yes, but like with the characters in the other games, it's one slot per game.

What is lost judgement? I wouldn't mind being able to play fighters again. As far as I recall they haven't re-released fighters since gems collection and on the xbox 360.

Why would you even expect widescreen support for old handheld games that are clearly emulated? You want them stretched? Ew.

Other collections provide this as an option. The Mega Man Legacy Collections allowed players to play with or without borders, as well as resolution options such as 4/3 to better suit the original display the games were made for or stretched to fill the screen, the latter of which I actually prefer.

Even the Game Gear games that released on the 3DS Virtual Console had this feature, a case of SEGA does what Nintendon't as they didn't provide screen size settings for their own games on their own system. They even provided some really cool looking Game Gear borders for when you're not playing in stretched full screen.

You played the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series? There's a spinoff series called Judgement, and Lost Judgement is its sequel.

As part of the series' history of recreating whatever Japanese city a game takes place in, arcades are in there, so you can play a handful of Sega arcade games like VF5FS, Puyo Puyo and Fighting Vipers. Sonic the Fighters is among the selection of titles in Lost Judgement.

Additionally, protagonist Takayuki Yagami has a Master System in his office that he can play at any time, as well as pick up cartridges from shops and through other challenges. No Sonic game is among that list of Master System games.

Okay but that's technically not actual widescreen support.

Because I'm playing them on a Steam Deck this doesn't bother me. That being said an option certainly wouldn't have hurt anyone.

How can the audio emulation not bother you? It certainly bothers me on Switch, both docked and portable.

Steam deck is an HD widescreen screen and I'm sure you see the same borders that take up half the screen that what are you talking about?
