Gunstar Heroes, Comix Zone and Other Sega Classics Hit Xbox Live Arcade at $5 Each

The bulk of the second "SEGA Vintage Collection" arrived in the Xbox Live Arcade today, offering six classic SEGA games--Gunstar Heroes, Altered Beast, Shinobi, Comix Zone, Phantasy Star 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3--at 400 Microsoft Points ($5) a pop.

Each has been updated with support for high definition displays and leaderboards, with Gunstar Heroes, Altered Beast and Sonic 3 also getting online multiplayer.

Excluding Gunstar Heroes, the remaining five games can also be found on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 retail compilation Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, though the versions found in that bundle don't pack online multiplayer.

While most of the downloads are exclusive to Xbox 360, with Ultimate Genesis Collection reject Sonic & Knuckles due later in the summer, Gunstar Heroes will also be making its way to the PlayStation 3 through tomorrow's PlayStation Store update.
